Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition. We now have over 2k signatures calling for the BBC to remove Tyson Fury from the Sports Personality of the Year shortlist. The BBC have put out a statement saying "The nominees for BBC Sports Personality of the Year are decided on their sporting achievements. As Fury became heavyweight champion of the world over the weekend, the panel feel that he should be a contender for this year’s award." The BBC clearly do not understand that by nominating Fury, who has on a number of occasions expressed homophobic views and compared homosexuality to paedophilia, they are putting him up as a role model to young people all over the UK and the world. It has also been confirmed by the BBC that Fury was only added to the list 'at the last minute' to reflect the 'weekends sporting success'. Please, if you can, share the petition on social media and encourage your friends to sign. I am aware that some social media posts are going 'missing' no doubt due to a campaign by Fury supporters to ensure our voice is not heard. Please keep trying. If you are inclined you can also make a complaint to the BBC directly by following this link: https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/?reset=#anchor There is NO place for homophobia in sport, thank you for all your support.
