Why the fuck does the BBC have an award for the African player of the year ?

I thought Africa was in Africa ?

The BBC are all over the world, but that website is UK & I don't see what the fuck African player of the year has got to do with the BBC.

Do they have an East European POTY or a South American one ? Asian cricketer of the year, perhaps ?

Bizarre.

I'm not an expert on the BBC, but isn't Mase rather well-versed in BBC matters? I'm certain he even shared some insider information involving City and the BBC previously?

According to pornhub bbc stands for "big black cock" - I'm uncomfortable with racist tone of this award and this thread to be honest, highly inappropriate

Whether they do or not, they won't be getting any snow this year, by all accounts.

I'm looking forward to seeing this guy's stats for the year if he out done Yaya Toure.

I think it's because the BBC have exclusive UK rights to the African Cup of Nations.

They've awarded it last few years - pretty sure Yaya won previous two.
