Why not pin this at the top like the vote for Steph? Can we vote daily, like for Steph?

I agree it would be nice if it was pinned.

By the way it's Stef.

. . . She's up against a baton twirler amongst others.

Yeah . . . a baton twirler?? Well, OK.

I also find it interesting that there are four women basketball players among the
nominees (four and a third if you count the three sport candidate), and no men
basketball players.

I have a friend (business associate) who was the top (or runner-up) National Baton Twirler of the year.
University of Georgia BS and MBA.

Funny thing, she's a very accomplished business professional (and athlete) but, some years ago she dropped reference to the award from her resume. Sad really but people have funny attitude toward baton twirling (YOU try it sometime - I could never do it!)

My funny attitude toward baton twirlers is to put them in a similar category
with jugglers who can keep four pie plates in the air.

Obviously it requires manual dexterity and good eye-hand coordination, so
I guess you could call it an athletic endeavor like a thousand other things
that require good motor skills.

But is it a sport? . . . or an exhibition?

I don't really think it's a sport, though it does require lots of movements that one would use to play sports.
My mom baton-twirled as a child from age 6 thru middle school. She's still pretty good.

It seems to me that baton twirling requires as much athletic skill as those little girls in the Olympics who dance around the gymnastics mat in their leotards, armed with a big long ribbon.

Or the sweeping people on the curling teams with the brooms.

There may be others.

Let's not diss the curlers.

Marge Simpson was a world class curler, need I say more?

I changed my opinion of baton twirlers after watching that future NBA Hall of Famer twirl.
