And the Winner Is... Who?!
Peter Canavan, BBC’s sports personality of the year, that’d be a great laugh – reading Slugger O’Toole’s readers comments on the subject is already a good one. Exit Jonny Wilkinson (gnark gnark gnark). That’s what people in Ireland are trying to do thanks to an email praising the Tyrone captain who won the All-Ireland Gaelic football games. In this email, the authors ask to vote for him on the BBC website so that he becomes 2003 BBC’s sports personality – probably also to remind the English that you don’t need to dial an international code to call Belfast…
That’d be hilarious if it were to happen because people in London just don’t have a clue of who the heck Peter Canavan may be. According to Ellen and confirmed by the Guardian article, it already happened earlier this year as an Irish rebel song, A Nation Once Again was elected the world’s favourite song.
