Piers Morgan has been slammed for going "full Joey Barton" after he called out Mary Earps for being named as BBC Sports Personality of the Year despite 'not winning anything'.England and Manchester United keeper Earps received the prestigious award over the likes of cricketer Stuart Broad and athlete Katarina Johnson Thompson with the controversial Talk TV presenter taking to X to question the public's decision to vote for the female goalie.He wrote: "Trying to get my head around two of England's women footballers winning BBC SPOTY in successive years… while male sporting superstars with great personalities like Rory McIlroy, Frankie Dettori and Ronnie O'Sullivan have never won it. "No offence to Ms Earps, but shouldn't it have been given to someone who actually won something in 2023?, the Mirror reports.However, viewers were quick to hit back at Morgan with one tweeting: "Basically what happened was one year Beth Mead was voted by the public as the winner and then the following year Mary Earps was voted by the public as the winner."Another replied: "She sold more goalkeeper shirts than [Jordan] Pickford.
Made girls believe. Brought joy to millions despite making us wake up at stupid times to see the games. "She also won the Arnold Clark Cup if that helps your frankly ridiculous argument." A third shot back: "Is Morgan going full [Joey] Barton here?
Never ever go full Barton!"Football manager Barton recently caused an uproar online after making a string of sexist comments as he claimed that women shouldn't be allowed to give their opinion on men's football.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines
