There are plenty of overweight golfers. Do you consider that a sport?

I don't, as a matter of fact, or snooker either!

Yeah he is too white and too straight.

Pretty sure last year’s winner was caucasian and heterosexual.

He has made it into the final 6 for the main award also. Going on the betting Hodgkinson looks nailed on to win that though.

In terms of achievement I think Alex Yee should win. Olympic and World Champion 2024.

Good call but let’s be honest it’s whoever the BBC wants it to be the winner. Been watching the show for many a year not so much since Des Lynam disappeared, current presenters bore me senseless so i record it and watch the bits I want to see.

Also not convinced by the voting system, pretty sure there have been some you think yeh he/she should be the winner but they don’t even get in top 3. Load of OAP’s at home think they voting on strictly come dancing or something.

Agree it was cringeworthy although RL was well represented. I might be shouted down here and I know he's young but I think 'our' Luke could've done with a bit of advice on his acceptance speech.
