I think the award itself just changed... that people who vote will now feel comfortable voting for a career and not just for a year.
I know, I know, don't need a lecture about what it's supposed to be for but I do think it just kinda evolved before our eyes.
It's putting the sport first, in the eyes of the voters. My opinion anyway and I'm good with the outcome as I would have been with Blame winning.

What a bunch of whiny little drama queens.
Brilliant post, Sightseek and yeah I agree with MaTH this is not sad no matter how you look at it.
This is the new reality... fan-friendly voting... and there's a reason.
The powers that be... I see it as their chance to continue the Zenyatta thing... to cash in on it for lack of better wording.

I think that was the motivation anyway and it was a collective individual thing if that makes sense.
LIke "for the good of the sport" kinda mentality.
Of course I could have my head up my ass...
