He's a ****.
And for people defending him using freedom of speech, yes he does but everyone else also has freedom to criticize him for his statements and the right to be offended. It works both ways.

No one has said on this thread that you can't voice your opinion, people want Fury removed from a sports award ceremony because they don't agree with his

I just can't get excited about it, the guy is a prize knob, and the sports personality of the year is a non award of zero significance. Its got about as much relevance as crowning someone king/queen of the jungle.

What's ****ing astounding here is that very often on this forum people make the argument that certain people shouldn't win Big Brother (or other reality shows for that matter) because they're not very nice people, have said or done twattish things, and that as a result it would be 'immoral' if they won, and so should be evicted far in advance of that point.
Bearing in mind that mentality is in the context of a ****ing television programme of which its result will have no effect on its viewers, or any kind of cultural impact, just said person being financially rewarded (as if there aren't already thousands of ***** around the world making money they don't deserve). Yet here is an award that is culturally significant, does reflect a nation's beliefs, can endorse certain values and influence people as a result - and we're told it's perfectly okay for us to brush his comments under the carpet, pretend it's irrelevant and continue to support both his nomination and hypothetical win. What an absolutely ****ing ludicrous display of misplaced priorities and supposed 'morality'. This forum never ceases to amaze me ![]() |

Its not the prize or award its the fact its the BBC's flagship sports show and its a celebration of all sporting prowess this year

Is that not part of traveller culture though, the women keep the house and the men are breadwinners? Who are we to judge other people for their beliefs and what works in their cultures

![]() Just because people have different cultures doesn't mean I have to like or agree with them. What about the practice of female genital mutilation, should I respect that also?

Of course we can judge him for it, whether it's a part of his culture or not.

'It's their culture' isn't an excuse for backwards thinking, also it's offensive to suggest that the entire traveler community is as bigoted as this fool.

Yet it's fine for Muslims to have backwards thinking apparently as you are always defending their right to this and that

Saying that I don't believe all Muslims should be accountable for the actions of a few isn't the same as saying that I agree with the practices of the few in question and it's got absolutely nothing to do with you essentially branding travelers as sexist bigots and that that's okay because it's 'part of their culture.' You must be quite desperate to get one over on me to make such a silly leap of logic. |

Likes cars that go boom

Then there needs to be a traveller revolt, those women who don't want to be just wives should say so, that's all it would take :/
As for his religious views he's not alone in that thinking is he? and even though things are changing it's at a slower rate in some places than others. Maybe his achievements are great but I wouldn't say his off screen persona warrants 'personality' of the year in all honesty.

And Lewis Hamilton is more deserving of a place in the line up than Fury?
![]() He CHEATED during the Australian Grand Prix in 2009. He CHEATED during his relationship with Nicole Scherzinger. Fury might spout bollocks but he is a loving Father and husband who DOTES on his wife and kids. I don't see anyone onjecting to Hamilton being in the contest.
