Shit like this is why it’s a joke that anyone cares at all about ANY award that’s voted on.

Voters are biased idiots. If an award isn’t based solely on stats, it’s worthless.

One of the most informative things to come out of many Baseball HoF ballots going public was how some of these voters don't take their responsibilities seriously. Without bumping into the maximum numbers of votes, voters will both drop and add players at random as the years go by. It only makes people less invested in the outcomes. Thankfully the people that do put effort into it do tend to say out loud the base needs to be pruned.

I wish he wasnt made of the same glass as Tomáš Rosický was. Guy is brilliant, no idea why he was used rather as a substitute earlier this season

The goal @CanadianFlyer88 posted I was just staring at the TV
He's really good, I think Alonso probably feels Boniface is a more versatile player, which I would agree with. Schick is a great striker though. Seems like at any given time either he or Boniface are injured.

"no idea" in my post is a homerish overstatement no doubt :) (honestly)

100000% serious that only statistical awards (most goals, winningest team, whatever) should exist.

When I take over sports, they will be.
