Some of you need to let the "Chloe Kelly Derangement Syndrome" go. Having her live rent free in your head isn't worth the aggravation.
This award is not necessarily about "the best". It may be taken that way by some but it clearly is not. Mary Earps won it in 2023.
Zara Tindall (Phillips at the time) won it in 2006. Beth Tweddle placed third that year. If you don't know who Tweddle is I wouldn't be surprised. Tweddle won a gold medal at the World Gymnastics Championships that year, in a sport typically dominated by the Americans, Chinese, Romanians, and Russians. That is a big deal. Perhaps if it had been an Olympics year she would have won the BBC award.
Kelly is gone. Getting upset about her isn't worth having your blood pressure spike when you see or hear about her. That said, I have inconsequential things that get on my nerves.
