Isn't the award basically along those lines though. The people who care most about tennis vote for Murray (as well as the Scottish vote). People who like boxing most vote for Fury, F1 for Hamilton etc. It happens every year so why does it become a problem when RL fans do it?
That's why the likes of Adam Peaty in swimming and Max Whitlock in gymnastics have been nominated a couple of times now but finish comfortably near the bottom just making it into 5 figures because those sports don't have the same supporters numbers as others, yet their achievements are up there with the others.
