Let me explain Why Ronnie Will Never Win Sports Personality

Messi’s not the best footballer just because he’s fitter than everyone else. Federer’s not the best tennis player just because he’s fitter than everyone else. There are myriad factors of which fitness is just one.

The difference between s a sport and a game is the level. A game is just for fun but a sport is a proper competition that is also entertainment for spectators.

The Rear Of The Year means more as an award.

Yes. Snooker isn't a sport. Neither are darts or golf. If you can be competitive with a fat stomach then it isn't a sport.

Throw enough money their way and they'd quite happily recognise you as a sport.

I fine it laughable that Davis backs him for SPOY when he sees how he behaves in matchs like the Selby one. Much more of a disgrace than a personality.
