Just signed. As I pointed out in the comments box, the contest is not only for being good at a sport, but being a personalty too. So there is absolutely no way homophobia has any part of it.

The BBC seems to think it is just about beating the crap out of a Russian. It used to be about personality.

I must admit I'm tempted to email around here, as I do have some contacts in the BBC, but the programme bunnies are surprisingly deaf to any criticism that does not fit their pre-conceptions.
Thankfully the bigot is unlikely to come anywhere near the top of the voting as it's a public vote and the 'sport' of boxing is not mainstream these days. Indeed, I'd not even call it a sport, just thuggery with rules.
I see the voting has increased considerably since last nights 11000, now almost 43000 at 0936 GMT and there is a good newspaper article on the matter http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/tyson-fury-petition -calling-for-boxer-to-be-removed-from-bbc-sports-personality -of-the-year-a6759241.html

Signed, sealed and delivered.
The honour should always be about "personality" and anyone exhibiting the degree of homophobia that this gent (for want of a better word) does should never have been nominated in the first place as he clearly lacks personality in spades.

It isn't just homophobia. He is anti women's choice in abortion, too. He's a tall, muscular bully, a terrifying man to meet. His family background is said to be bare knuckle fighting.

Indeed he did.
Thankfully; although it would have been suitable justice, LOL, if he hadn't placed at all.
The media gives far too much exposure to these ne'er-do-wells to my thinking.
