The British sports personality of the year gets awarded tonight. Our Lewis is nominated but given the BBC's awful bias against him I fully expect he'll get voter-frauded out of the contest.

I heard the BBC management is hell-bent on giving the award to Rosberg so they're having Andrew Benson look through his genealogy for British ancestors as we speak

Considering the unicorn-soft Brexit we're negotiating, the jet money would have ended up in the pockets of some German farmer of genetically-modified chickens fed with nuclear waste, who would then export them into the meals of our schoolchildren. I'd rather have Our Lewis keep the money.

Lewis will at best come third to Anthony Joshua and Mo Farah. I’m going to take a wild guess that the man with four championships and a knighthood, without the benefit of a entire factory worth of people helping him is going to win.

The confusion and rage in the comments sections from his fans when they work out that they can’t accuse anyone of racism is going to be glorious.

F1 is a stupid sport for idiots, we're under no illusions of this.

However it is approximately 1000% more legitimate than boxing and athletics.

Reminder of that time Lewis won a WDC and came 7th, and the winner was a openly racist wife beating boxer who managed to luck himself into one win.

Or that other time he won a WDC and didn’t even get nominated.

Probably the most British thing you could possibly do is:

1. participate in a sport filled with cheaters
2. talk nonstop about how much you don't cheat
3. dominate
4. get found out as a cheat anyway

The thing about cycling is differentiating between badass cheating and boring, lovely cheating. Landis winning the Tour, Contador, and that time Chris Horner won the Vuelta are the former while Froome and basically all of Team Sky is definitely the latter.

Lance Armstrong was definitely badass cheating just because of the mafia-like nature of their scheme. He was literally The Godfather of cheating.

I considered him lovely cheating mainly because I hated the mainstream media coverage of him, kinda like the UK press and Team Sky (The World's Cleanest Cycling Team). I definitely get what you mean, though.

I would not be surprised if we find out Lance ordered his team to kill someone.

Knowing Spain's doping history I'm guessing they just forgot that they had set the machine to invert the results so it would only raise an alert if no drugs were found
