I love this reply to Piers Morgan's reaction to Mary Earps winning

twitter.com 

The 'definitely-not-sexist' outrage online of the result has been rather pathetic as per normal. All the usual suspects (like above) complaining as well.

In the same vain, another favourite reply that I came across.

2017 was the last year the voting figures were released.

As I said, that year Jonnie Peacock pipped Anthony Joshua for third by just 18 votes. One *does* wonder how much this influenced the decision to stop releasing the figures (even though, of course, the official reason was to bring SPOTY in line with Strictly)...

Definitely things like that must have influenced it. Also, it didn't look great for the BBC or the people involved to have those in the final positions get such a small support.

Looking at the results breakdown (at the bottom of this article), the top six in 2017 were all men, and the four female nominees were all right at the bottom. Especially in the middle of the long period without a female winner, that must have looked very bad.
