http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/sports-personality/25017298As they are also allowing online voting during the programme, I suspect a large number of corpulent people sitting in their armchairs and eating Pringles will be swept back to the fervour of Wimbledon and swinging it in favour of Mr Murray. The candidates: Ben Ainslie Ian Bell Hannah Cockroft Mo Farah Chris Froome Leigh Halfpenny AP McCoy Andy Murray Christine Ohuruogoguhgoohoo Justin Rose Any thoughts on the team? At least we won't get a repear of last year's farce when the Beeb ignored their own rules and voted Team GB <sotto voce> er and NI (aka "Anyone but Team Sky") winners.

It would be a travesty if Murray didn't win it, I was starting to think that I may not see a British mens Wimbledon champion in my lifetime. I know he's not much of a 'personality' per se but his talent, grit and determinedness are up there with the best.
Horsing around's a serious business.

Ali, the Lions are not affected.
From last years T&Cs:
"For the team in an individual sport or sporting discipline that has achieved the most notable performance in the calendar year to date. The team should have significant UK interest or involvement.
For the avoidance of doubt this criteria excludes Team GB/Paralympics GB but includes the likes of British Cycling, Rowing Coxless Four and the European Ryder Cup team."
Pretty clear, no? Apparently not.
For this year that second paragraph has been deleted, but it still has to be an individual sport.
NB Lions are just as eligible as they always were.

NB Lions are just as eligible as they always were. Thanks for clearing that up Mark. Not that I have the slightest bit of interest in the event itself!
