Sports Awards...what a load of BS

OP are you that South African guy who was telling us about catching fades (or something) a few weeks back?

What aspect of why we have sports awards are you struggling to comprehend?

1) When Hussein Bolt wins a 100m race, he gets a Gold medal, a bouquet of flowers & a round of applause from the attendees.

Why the hell should he get ANOTHER award when he has already been rewarded for his efforts.

2) Sports - unlike art - is NOT subjective. There are clear winners & losers. PERIOD. Why the hell then have award shows when the winner has already been established?

DbD

If you don't like sports awards then don't watch them. I suspect that like mine, your remote has a button on it that allows you to change the chanel.

Your quality of life will improve so much when you have learnt this simple trick.

Who has been the better player this season: Kevin de Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe or Raphael Varane?

Objectively-speaking, of course. Please show your working.

That's another problem that I have with these silly awards. How many Goalkeepers or defensive minded players have won the Ballon D'Or?

I don't know if you've heard of the Laureus Awards?

They have a category for Sportsman of the year & the nominees come from different types of sporting codes.

What criteria are you going to use to determine who the sportsman of the year is when you have Lebron James, Lionel Messi, Djokovic, Mayweather etc in the same category? Different sporting codes all lumped up together. Are you kidding me right now?

I have a problem with this line of argument.

If there was an extremely racist or anti-semetic TV show on air, would you still adopt the same line of thinking (i.e if you don't like it, just change the channel) or would you write a strongly worded letter to the broadcaster demanding that it be taken off air?

I have written my fair share of strongly worded letters to a few radio stations, tv channels & print publications regarding content that I found offensive.

I am a firm believer in people power & holding THE MAN to account. Try it sometimes. It is very empowering.
