Rory McIlroy finished runner-up to F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton
Needless to say, the good people of Twitter are not very happy about Mcilroy losing out on the prestigious prize. The world number one was the clear favourite for the award after a phenomenal 2014, which included being part of the victorious European Ryder Cup team.

No disrespect to Hamilton- but that was actually embarrassing – there can be no doubt Rory McIlroy should have picked up #SPOTY2014

A cynic might say McIlroy's decision to represent Ireland in Rio swayed the vote in Hamilton's favour #SPOTY

Lewis Hamilton won because he's English. Rory McIlroy didn't win because he's from Northern Ireland. #SPOTY2014

As Rory McIlroy took to the stage, he had his 'right, you fuckers, I'm definitely playing for Ireland in the 2016 Olympics' face on. #SPOTY
