I fully agree with you that the board needs to revisit the criteria for the awards. It cannot be that Bunny Shaw is so recognized on that huge stage and we are ignoring her contribution. But try and remember the boxer from Montego Bay was nominated one year and for some reason I believe he won that year….
Yow the way how dem ppl yah hate jff dem so delusional to everything wah this haffi do wid jff. I am not a jff fan but my god man. Dem nuh have nothing fi do wid this. @@sheldonwisdom8567
At least Bunny is appreciated by her team in the Women's Super League UK, Manchester City. Can't believe not one of the Sunshine Girls have been nominated also.
Bunny's two goals against South Africa broke her own national scoring record. Nikeisha Price broke the national 400m record. Price gets nominated based on that criteria but Bunny gets snubbed. Some folks a carry belly fi Bunny.
Tracey, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. This is a huge anomaly!!!! Bunny Shaw should have been nominated and possibly win 🏆 the title as well. This must be a slap in her face more so when you consider her performance for Jamaica in the South Africa match last month!!! Smh Big up Khadija Bunny Shaw👏👏🏆👌🇯🇲
It is absolute rubbish that These specific ladies couldn't even get nominated. Definitely agree with everything you said. All my sporting groups and friends are disgruntled over this one. It's wild!
On a world level Bunny is seen as almost Cristiano Ronaldo like and would easily go into any world team on present form. Its reprehensible that she is not in the running for the award.
Bunny is second in the all time world ranking of goals per games (1.34) in women's football, and that stats does not include the brace she had against South Africa. There should be a national protest to against this injustice
She is one of the best Female players in the world and I think Jamaicas #1 goal scorer men and women (check me on that not sure). She is a sports Queen!
Yes, she is the all time record goal scorer for Jamaica, men or women and she set a new record when she scored against South Africa a couple weeks ago.
Excellent point made maverick I never thought about that till now.bunny shaw have all rights to make that list considering her accomplishment for 2024 especially the netballers that played so well even against england
She a di BEST football player (male/female) Jamaica eva produced. You claim seh a di Pearl - Walter Boyd no way near her. Don't bi bias cuz she a female. Wi fi BIG hsr up more.
To add insult to injury....2023 was a World Cup year for netball and Jamaica took the bronze....so in addition to their World Class performance for their clubs Fowler and Sterling should have easily met the criteria 🙄
No resting until the criteria change this issue is a cross the board thing with the senior Jamaicans who are in these offices they're not easily subject to changes & it's even holding our country back outside of sports!
This conversation was due from last year when the girls performed at the world cup. At least Becky Spence or Allison Swaby should have been recognized by this award but this is Jamaica.
I totally agree with you Mr Tracy , preposterous nomination and the biggest blunder in the earths history . Crazy none sense in these selections . Change the whole selection panel no sorry fire all of them .
Too much Corruption in Jamaica sports. What they have done is absurd. This younglady has represented herself and Country exemplary. All other countries have honored their athletes. Look at what St Lucia has done for Alfred. Gross disrespect to the young lady. Come on Jamaica. As the Word says a Prophet is not Honored in his or her own country. This seem to be the profile of Jamaica: Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Now Bunny Shaw.
But one of the funniest thing is beside the names of these stars club starting line up is their countries flag. The world recognises their nation and we cant recognise their achievements due to ancient criterias. Thanks for this Oral.
Tappa Whitmore and Walter Boyd scored 5 goals each in the semifinal round of France 98 World Cup qualifiers and topped the zone involving Mexico and Honduras.
Criteria or not it’s a sports award. If she makes the list for any world sports award nomination it can’t be overlooked by the local body or any other body that is doing such types of award and can’t get even a nomination. Makes absolutely no sense..
Understand the narrative that Shaw not representing the country for a period would lessen her chance of being Sportswoman of the year. Seeking some clarity here the best sports person should be the best representative in the national colour or the best Jamaican in a particular sport at an elite level? I think the obvious answer is best in national colour. Notwithstanding, we can put in a few elite level performers like Shaw and the net ballers. They dont have to win but they can get a mention.
The criteria definitely need to change because apart from Ricketts none of them ladies more deserving the award like Bunny Sterling or Fowler . And they are hypocrites because when they went to World Cup & the netball tournament repping Jamaica they still were not awarded anything!!! 🙄 love track more than any other sport but this is just unfair!
So now we are giving awards to 5th place finisher at the Olympics, runners who fail to make Olympic finals, cyclist rank 603 in the world, and athletes who fail to deliver when it counts. This is a slap in the face to the greats that have won this award, Merlene Ottey ,Vcb, Shelly, Sherika, Elaine, etc.
@@barrylloyd5864are you saying Ricketts doesn't deserve to win, this lady have been very much Ms reliable for Jamaica is it a case where the field event don't count. Then you are just like them who thinks the Footballers and Netball players dont count either.
Maverick they would have to be representing Jamaica in whatever sports they are playing. What if you have a Jamaican who has never played for Jamaica but is playing for a club in England and is the best player. Bunny should be included because she is still playing for Jamaica.
Maverick I agree with what you are saying re criteria, but we have been hearing that excuse for years; it is time for that to change now. We keep on hearing "we will think about it", then nothing happens.
These roles can be adjusted within the organization to a accommodated there athlete. That I find out with organizations like this one they don't like changes. Members of these organizations, worst, if there are Mosley old members their mindset is one way.
Cricketers have been nominated previously and a cyclist was on this list.So is it that the criteria is of such the JFF could not have put in a nomination? Or are other factors at play ,sports politics.Just a question!!Mi not even resting, just gone!!
CRITERIA FOR SPORTING DISCIPLINES NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY, OUR JAMAICAN SPORTING DISCIPLINES ARE GLOBAL. OUR JAMAICANS ARE BREAKING THE GLASS CEILINGS, OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEEDS TO BE THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
MAVRICK there no way on earth, Leon Bailey would have been nominated for ballon d’Or and they don’t nominate him. I think this is big disrespect to Bunny Shaw.
They have on blinkers.....this didn't happen overnight...... especially with the netballers....they have been consistent for years and ignored nonetheless
And lastly, as a massive sports fan, that RJR Sportsman and Sportswoman of the year is losing its credibility. In other footballing nations, they have football specific awards, in Jamaica we don't have that, the criteria needs to be changed so all athletes have a chance.
The Jamaican athletes perform poorly in 2024. The women perform poorly. Bunny Shaw and the Sunshine girls are the two discipline that done well for Jamaica. The people who do the selection seems to live in a different world.
Neither fair nor fearless more like sucking up. The netballers yes Shaw HELL NO. Exactly what has she done that involves Jamaica to qualify for the award?
Bunny should be included, Chris Gayle won, Deon Burton Won. that female west indies cricketer won. Look at the list of the males nominees this year, Pathetic.
Bunny Shaw performs just like Leon Bailey for the national team. She don’t show up on the big games. Bunny does not deserve to be nominated. What has she done for the national team on the biggest stages? Nothing.
Bunny Shaw was nominated for the the Ballon D'or y'all can keep y'all award respectfully. And Sterling not making it is ridiculous after that performance in the Australian netball tournament? Laughable
Maverick, I heard the boss Gary Allen made references to this issue and his considerations for changes in the future... Hope they sort this anomaly in the criteria and nomination progress.. Bunny Shaw not being nominated for the RJR Sports woman award show that they are totally out of touch with the reality of 2024.. Seem RJR ppl stuck inna 1960s?
Didn't she lead Jamaicas women to the World Cup twice? when u sah she has done nothing for jamaica what do mean exactly. She has represented our country well internationally she easily an embassidor.
Too much people without the knowledge of sport if Deon Berton wan the sports award why the best female footballer in the world she should be toasted to be the winner but politics always over shodow performance we need to select people with knowledge and experience in all arenas of sports to do the selection
I fully agree with you that the board needs to revisit the criteria for the awards. It cannot be that Bunny Shaw is so recognized on that huge stage and we are ignoring her contribution. But try and remember the boxer from Montego Bay was nominated one year and for some reason I believe he won that year….
It's laughable that Shaw didn't make the list of best female sports woman of the year award. This is just ridiculous
Yes!
Bunny Shaw is facing JFF sabotage. She is hands down the most dominant female Jamaican sports figure at the moment.
JFF VEX EVERYTIME SHE SCORE A GOAL, LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL 😂😂😂😂😂
This has nothing to do JFF, this award is conceive and run by the RJR GROUP which is an independent and private company
U might be right about Jff but what does that has to do with this?
Yow the way how dem ppl yah hate jff dem so delusional to everything wah this haffi do wid jff. I am not a jff fan but my god man. Dem nuh have nothing fi do wid this. @@sheldonwisdom8567
I think her standing is beyond gender, no other comparison for this year
Oral you are spot on with this one, both Bunny and Sterling should've been nominated. Not saying they would win though.
Mi balla deserve the recognition. Because of her I watch womens football
Truth, me too. For the first time ever.
Total shame
Facts.... Been watching her since she was playing in France..... She is a genuine baller
Best footballer out of Jamaica bar none. Bun bun 💪🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
At least Bunny is appreciated by her team in the Women's Super League UK, Manchester City. Can't believe not one of the Sunshine Girls have been nominated also.
Bunny's two goals against South Africa broke her own national scoring record. Nikeisha Price broke the national 400m record. Price gets nominated based on that criteria but Bunny gets snubbed. Some folks a carry belly fi Bunny.
Well said, Maverick. They should change the criteria and nominate the top performer in the sport of choice.
Tracey, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto. This is a huge anomaly!!!! Bunny Shaw should have been nominated and possibly win 🏆 the title as well. This must be a slap in her face more so when you consider her performance for Jamaica in the South Africa match last month!!! Smh
Big up Khadija Bunny Shaw👏👏🏆👌🇯🇲
The award biased 😢 see it year in and year out
It is absolute rubbish that These specific ladies couldn't even get nominated. Definitely agree with everything you said. All my sporting groups and friends are disgruntled over this one. It's wild!
BUNNY SHAW IS THE NUMBER 1 FEMALE FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD 🌎 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
On a world level Bunny is seen as almost Cristiano Ronaldo like and would easily go into any world team on present form. Its reprehensible that she is not in the running for the award.
Bunny is second in the all time world ranking of goals per games (1.34) in women's football, and that stats does not include the brace she had against South Africa. There should be a national protest to against this injustice
@barrylloyd5864 agree
No need for debate, you are completely right Oral
Well said my name sake. Too much prejudice in the awards. The people that are judges, aren't keeping up with the world of sports. They're are lost.
Thanks for highlighting this, food for thought
She is one of the best Female players in the world and I think Jamaicas #1 goal scorer men and women (check me on that not sure). She is a sports Queen!
Yes, she is the all time record goal scorer for Jamaica, men or women and she set a new record when she scored against South Africa a couple weeks ago.
Fear and fearless analysis, mi boss
Like a lot of laws in Jamaica this also needs to be revised.
MAVERICK YOU DESERVE A MEDAL

I agree with your reasoning totally maverick. Bunny Shaw should definitely have been included in the short list for athlete of the year.
No resting until the criteria change this issue is a cross the board thing with the senior Jamaicans who are in these offices they're not easily subject to changes & it's even holding our country back outside of sports!
this is a problem.... bunny should have been nominated !
Wow .. Nicely said. 👏🏿👏🏿 Hope somebody listens
This conversation was due from last year when the girls performed at the world cup. At least Becky Spence or Allison Swaby should have been recognized by this award but this is Jamaica.
Remember Deon Burton won one year... I hope they listen to you and add her as a late entry.. That would be the right thing to do...
Symbolism... too late now!
I totally agree with you Mr Tracy , preposterous nomination and the biggest blunder in the earths history . Crazy none sense in these selections . Change the whole selection panel no sorry fire all of them .
Totally agree Maverick but on a different note; a me alone see seh the maverick close the back door on the plant 😂😂
Too much Corruption in Jamaica sports. What they have done is absurd. This younglady has represented herself and Country exemplary. All other countries have honored their athletes.

Bunny shaw should get the award hands down😊
Well.said general maverick
Tappa Whitmore and Walter Boyd scored 5 goals each in the semifinal round of France 98 World Cup qualifiers and topped the zone involving Mexico and Honduras.
Definitely need to be there, she's carrying jamaica n making jamaicans proud
Criteria or not it’s a sports award. If she makes the list for any world sports award nomination it can’t be overlooked by the local body or any other body that is doing such types of award and can’t get even a nomination. Makes absolutely no sense..
They need to revisit the criteria of the sports man and women of the year

@Micht30 Ricketts earn her nomination and so does Bunny
TRUTH MAVERICK TRUTH!!!!!
Me say as soon as me see bunny name me come watch fi see wah yuh go say 😩 Cah yuh better nat!!!!!
Maverick they would have to be representing Jamaica in whatever sports they are playing. What if you have a Jamaican who has never played for Jamaica but is playing for a club in England and is the best player. Bunny should be included because she is still playing for Jamaica.
Big up King 🤴 maverick.
The world football nominated bunny shaw and that is enough for me maverick
Thanks for the explanation, Maverick.
The organization responsible for the awards is stuck in time. WHAT A SHAME
Big Up Bunny!!
Serious ting!
Yea dem need fi adjust it right away!
In everything,it's 💚vs🧡big up de maverick,bunny for de hunny 😂
Maverick I agree with what you are saying re criteria, but we have been hearing that excuse for years; it is time for that to change now. We keep on hearing "we will think about it", then nothing happens.
Thanks Maverick
You
Can be nominated in the world.And cannot nominate it in jamaica a joke this
These roles can be adjusted within the organization to a accommodated there athlete. That I find out with organizations like this one they don't like changes. Members of these organizations, worst, if there are Mosley old members their mindset is one way.
By their argument, i wonder if she had won the Fifa award if she would be nominated?
Leon Bailey as well....has to be nominated, even if they don't win...
Cricketers have been nominated previously and a cyclist was on this list.So is it that the criteria is of such the JFF could not have put in a nomination?
Or are other factors at play ,sports politics.Just a question!!Mi not even resting, just gone!!
What shame for the sadness of the tragedy.ja need to a good look at this award and fix it 👀🙏
CRITERIA FOR SPORTING DISCIPLINES NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY, OUR JAMAICAN SPORTING DISCIPLINES ARE GLOBAL. OUR JAMAICANS ARE BREAKING THE GLASS CEILINGS, OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEEDS TO BE THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
JAMAICA HAS EVOLVED OVER THE 65 YEARS OF SPORTSMAN/WOMAN AWARDS CEREMONY.
Fully agree
I agree the nomination is Athletics bias though.
RJR should be embarrassed not nominating shaw , shaw won female footballer of the year in England and her own country didn't nominate her
MAVRICK there no way on earth, Leon Bailey would have been nominated for ballon d’Or and they don’t nominate him. I think this is big disrespect to Bunny Shaw.
Traditional, we can't change anything in Jamaica because of tradition even when the tradition have nothing to do with Jamaica history or future.
No sah, this can't be real. No net ballers, no bunny. How about Fraser McConnell, think he was nominated last year, he should be nominated again.
Don’t leave off Sara Misir, one of the world’s best female drivers, is not even a thought to this RJR nomination.
Them up in them feelings still 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exxxactly mi fren💯💯💯
Gary Allen is track & field just to say.
Not necessarily throwing any words on him
All mi haffi seh is mi luv yu orange shirt
They have on blinkers.....this didn't happen overnight...... especially with the netballers....they have been consistent for years and ignored nonetheless
Luv ur shirt🍊🍑🧡😉
And lastly, as a massive sports fan, that RJR Sportsman and Sportswoman of the year is losing its credibility. In other footballing nations, they have football specific awards, in Jamaica we don't have that, the criteria needs to be changed so all athletes have a chance.
Facts 💯
!00% Agree with you.. SMH..
The Jamaican athletes perform poorly in 2024. The women perform poorly. Bunny Shaw and the Sunshine girls are the two discipline that done well for Jamaica.
The people who do the selection seems to live in a different world.
Dats Craaaaaazeeee!!!😮
THE HANG MAN RESTETHHH. DWL
They is bringing down the prestige of awards by rjr
Sorry bunny
Neither fair nor fearless more like sucking up. The netballers yes Shaw HELL NO. Exactly what has she done that involves Jamaica to qualify for the award?
Rename the awards
“Elite Track and Field Award” unfair to our supreme athletes
No sah,Deon Burton won the sport man of the year
it is easy to see where bunny stands in the world ... regardless of the name/title/level her event is given.
Bunny should be included, Chris Gayle won, Deon Burton Won. that female west indies cricketer won. Look at the list of the males nominees this year, Pathetic.
Sunshine girls yes but Bunny hasn't done anything on the national team. She has been nominated for playing for Man City
Maverick on another note the JFF men National team stricker was hurt recently.
Bunny Shaw performs just like Leon Bailey for the national team. She don’t show up on the big games. Bunny does not deserve to be nominated. What has she done for the national team on the biggest stages? Nothing.
I REBUKE THE AWARDS ,I HOPE EVEN IF THEY ADD BUNNY ,SHE DONT TURN UP , RJR FI GWEH
Bunny Shaw was nominated for the the Ballon D'or y'all can keep y'all award respectfully. And Sterling not making it is ridiculous after that performance in the Australian netball tournament? Laughable
Maverick, I heard the boss Gary Allen made references to this issue and his considerations for changes in the future... Hope they sort this anomaly in the criteria and nomination progress.. Bunny Shaw not being nominated for the RJR Sports woman award show that they are totally out of touch with the reality of 2024.. Seem RJR ppl stuck inna 1960s?
it only needs common sense... not changes !
Real talk
The RJR award should change its name to be a athletics award instead because that's what they represent
Bunny Shaw should not be nominated.... The netball girls 10000% Bunny has been great for her personal career
I agree with you. What she do is for herself and her club not for Jamaica 🇯🇲. When Jamaica needed her she turn her back on us don't forget that
Didn't she lead Jamaicas women to the World Cup twice? when u sah she has done nothing for jamaica what do mean exactly. She has represented our country well internationally she easily an embassidor.
Rasheed Mcdonald gets nominated, but not Bunny Shaw😮😮😮
She refused to represent Jamaica during the period so what do you expect Maverick. Thats the consequence of not representing your country
Jamaica fi dash weh now man 😂😂😂😂
Too much people without the knowledge of sport if Deon Berton wan the sports award why the best female footballer in the world she should be toasted to be the winner but politics always over shodow performance we need to select people with knowledge and experience in all arenas of sports to do the selection
It is indeed flawed.
If Bunny nuh win Jamaica sporting awards ah permanent joke
it should be one simple question.... is bunny the best or top 3 jamaican player in the world today and the answer is yes !
Not for the Jamaica.... For her Club she is absolutely phenomenal
Deon Burton never win sportman a the year award.
Yes......No major track & field event took place that year. Plus Burton scored 4 big goals in World Cup Qualifying.
