Compare & contrast in how many ways government & royalty have impinged upon your life

I'll never be a royalist but that's a very good point.

Like I said, totally full of $h1t.

He's in more bother now for sexist comments he's made

"Fury has caused outrage this week after video on YouTube showed him giving his views on women. He says: "A woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back, that's my personal belief."

Fury also gave his opinion on women in boxing, in which he spoke about the ring girls who "give me inspiration, when I'm tired and I see them wiggling around with their round two, round eight (cards)".

When asked about British heptathlete Ennis-Hill, Fury said: "That's the runner isn't it?

"I think she's good, she's won quite a few medals for Britain, she slaps up good as well, when she's got a dress on she looks quite fit."

British boxing officials are apparently meeting to discuss his comments and the issue has been raised in the House of Commons too so don't be surprised to see the BBC buckle too and take him out of the running for the award. His odds have now slipped to around 16-20/1 now making Sinfield the sole third favourite with bookies at around 10/1 still. Murray remains odds on, Ennis-Hill around 2/1 and Hamilton around 20-25/1. Froome and Farah are struggling back at around 60-100/1

The BBC won't need to take Fury out of the running, he's doing a pretty good job of it himself.

Still think Murray's nailed on to win it, despite having - by his standards - a fairly ordinary year in the Grand Slams. What is it, one final and two semi-finals for a bloke ranked in the world top 3?

Murray has done the British thing hasn't he. Gone to help the plucky, but crap, Davis Cup team. He's not managed to beat any of the other big boys in the majors (none of whom bother with the Davis Cup), but we don't care. It does seem like he has put his body on the line to do it, played a lot of matches during periods he could/should have rested. To be honest it's a competition that generally barely registers beyond people involved in tennis.

Ironically, had it not been for James Ward pulling off a shock win against John Isner in the first round against the US, then Murray's later heroics would never have happened. GB lost the doubles in that tie, so would likely have gone out.

More comments from the Heavyweight SPOTY contender

At least he says what he thinks! perhaps somebody needs to have a word in his shell like, about him digging a real big hole for himself though.He may have gone under the radar a bit before but he now carries himself as heavyweight champ of the world and the wider public take more notice of his antics and his comments.

Groan. He's a f*******g moron. Gives boxers a bad name. Still, managed to make David Haye look good.

Not so sure "at least he says what he thinks" is much of a defence against accusations of homophobia and misogyny. He just needs to start blaming stuff on "the blacks" and he's got himself a full set.

I get the feeling Fury thinks of himself as something like Mike Tyson. Except whereas Tyson was the baddest man on the planet, Fury's just the dumbest.

i'm not defending him Andy.I like the fact he says what he thinks but obviously some of the stuff he says right now, he needs to keep to himself which i thought i conveyed in my post but obviously not.He urgently needs a PR manager before he alienates the whole of the UK, he is well on his way already.

Agree.
I had to laugh at the bit from, I think it was his uncle, on 5Live this morning.
Said all he had to apologise for was linking homosexuality with paedophilia, and that all this fuss shows some people don't have the right to free speech anymore.

I just don't quite know how to combat that kind of batsh|ttedry.

Indeed - the fact he was able to say it kind of proves he has the right to free speech. Just as those of us who consider him an idiot have the right to call him one.

I bet there are senior people within the traveller community wishing he'd just keep his mouth shut.
