masmiffy Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah im tired of hearing about Mandela too,sick of seeing all the celebs and politicians in competition to be his biggest fan aswell! Im also fed up with hearing about it but havent watched any of it. Those who are now his 'friends' wanted him dead for the awful things he was involved with and went to prison for!! His wife was even worse in her day!!! People really do have short memories. That being said well done to Amber for getting the award she seems to be a true talent, perhaps a female version of Mr Digweeed in the making! [Much prettier tho] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snowy1977 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah your spot on there masmiffy,theres a lot of people with selective memories of a terrorist though I suppose they would label him a freedom fighter.personally I thought both sides of that troublespot were just about as bad as eachother.

Scully Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Seems the BBC aren't promoting the Young winner much this year............. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/sport/ Young Sports personality gets no mention....... Have you contacted the BBC to ask why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) 03700 100222 - Automated line for comment and feedback (?). Left a question asking why Amber's award had no mention on Newsround, given that she is 16 and has won the prestigious award and that the show is aimed at the youth demographic, but Andy Murray's did. Sadly, I don't expect a response. Have you contacted the BBC to ask why? Edited December 17, 2013 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 No reply either, somewhat disappointing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1982 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Email sent this evening, automated response received, unlikely to get anything more. Certain producers at the BBC must have hated that she was selected by her peers to win, at least other sportsmen appreciated her achievements.
