British sportsperson of the year, then yeah maybe.
Then blame it on the British Broadcasting Corporation. It's their little show or program and all responsibilities lie at their door.
Kind of concur that 'personality of the year' doesn't quite fit in, as it's all about sporting
achievement. Who gives a f*ck if the deserving honor is miserable, banal, joyous, vibrant, lifeless, the epitome of happiness etc etc, when all they do is
prove to be the best of what there is to offer in sports entertainment.
Edit the accolade title for sure, to something more fitting, I.E. 'Sports achiever of the year' or something.
Saying all this, this is the show that awarded Gascoigne the honor of the year in 1990 - for a few tears in a World Cup game - so people can draw their own final conclusions on this particular award / show.
Sometimes you feel as though
BBC f*ck-up of the year would be the most appropriate choice for their 'award' ceremony. Even changing the title from what they have now, won't eradicate some of the bizarre choices from past years.
