The New Years Honours are nothing but a popularity contest.
The more popular your sport - the bigger the medal/Honour.
Did any Brit 2012 Olympic medal winner not recieve an honour?
Phil Taylor must be fuming that darts isnt as popular these days ..
Yes the Brownlee who was 3rd didnt get awarded a gong by the queen

Phil Taylor was awarded an MBE in 2001 but it was revoked following a criminal conviction.
