Should we throw our support behind a male player because all football was banned in 1314 by Edward II "...there is great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls from which many evils may arise which God forbid; we command and forbid, on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future."?
I hope that second paragraph made sense in your head because it makes naff all now you’ve written it down.

To sum up this thread so far, it’s the BBC who’s to blame for Mary Earps being favourite to win SPOTY even though it’s bookies who set the odds and the public who vote for it.

Also anyone who votes for her instead of Stuart Broad hasn’t got a brain even though everyone has access to the channels Earps regularly appeared on and the vast majority don’t have the channels Stuart Broad appeared on.

Superb stuff.
