The BBC revealed the nominees for Sports Personality of the Year late last month. Unlike last year, five of the twelve nominees are women. Here are our reactions.

Pinkstinks often gets asked ‘What about the boys?’ Well, we care very much about boys.

How heartening to see the reaction from established sports personalities to the appalling remarks made by Andy Gray and Richard Keys regarding Sian Massey
