RORY MCILROY WAS hot favourite to win the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award tonight. And I guess that was a pretty big deal, because Twitter has been beside itself with rage since the Co. Down man was named as runner-up to Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton.
Golfer Ian Poulter led the criticism
There were Tweets with historical context
Probably proves that SPOTY can’t be relied on to deliver the goods, not like our Rory.
Some people pondered his election tactics
Though maybe it had nothing to do with that
Let’s compare the skills
One person thought that Hamilton’s entourage was a deciding factor
There was the odd conspiracy theory
But mostly people just couldn’t believe the twist in the tail of their Sunday night TV
Maybe next year, Rory.
