SPORTS' PERSONALITY - THE END

How does Katherine Jenkins figure in this ? She might be a good singer, but her presence has little to do with sport. Additionally, her voice is destroyed by the microphone amplification that makes it extremely hard to understand what she is singing. Regardless, she is superfluous.

The final result is simply nonsensical. I don't dispute that McCoy has been a very successful jockey for many years, but what did he do in 2010 to justify being THE 'Sports Personality' of the year ? The same has to be said of Phil Taylor, the runner-up, although whether or not darts is even a sport could also be a question.

Jessica Ennis should feel cheated, but then, after last year's ridiculous result (won by Ryan Giggs) I suppose we should expect such things. In my book, Jess is still the best we have, by far, and the one who will still be doing us proud in 2012 on a stage that is far superior to those on which McCoy and Taylor ever compete.
