But this year the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year has sparked backlash following an unusual sign-off by presenter Gabby Logan.
One online critic said: ‘What is wrong with saying Christmas? Or is this word banned in case someone is offended?’ Ms Logan was joined by Clare Balding, 53, and Alex Scott, 40, to host the ceremony which honoured sports stars for their outstanding achievements. But despite their extensive broadcasting and sports experience across gymnastics, football, swimming, rugby, and horse racing, some viewers were left frustrated by the absence of a single male presenter.
Another said: ‘#SPOTY no male presenters? What happened to the politically correct inclusively. Guess it only works one way’. The Olympic champion, 22, became the fourth consecutive female winner after Emma Raducanu, Beth Mead, and Mary Earps in recent years.Read More BBC Sports Personality Of The Year viewers slam 'woke' presenting line up and 'switch off' show The 22-year-old not only brought home several medals, but also became the sixth fastest woman in history as she set a new 800m British record of one minute and 54.61 seconds.
