re: Caitlyn Jenner will receive ESPN's Arthur Ashe Courage Award

Did not skim 12 pages.

1. A decathlete IS a badass. But it was 1976. His gold medal and wheaties years are unknown to most. So it's been 40 years since he was a sports figure.

2. I thought this award had a shred of honor to it? Past winners?

3. Facebook article (so it's suspect) said the runner up is an Iraq war vet who lost an arm and leg but still competes in ultra endurance events? Is that true?

4. Ray Rices wife deserves the award more than Bruce. For remaining married to that heavy handed bastard.

5. Bruce still has a twig and berries? He is just a tranny on hormones for the sake of vanity until his cock and balls get lopped off.

6. What 65 year old woman is named Caitlyn? NONE. 65 year old women did not name their daughters Caitlyn. Their daughters named their daughters Caitlyn.

2015 Caitlyn Jenner - WHAT A JOKE

Although Roberts was legit, I see a trend.

ESPN is only measuring what trends on Twitter. It's not really difficult to figure out their formula. Greenburg obsessed over trending Twitter topics around 3 years ago, and that terrible show became completely unlistenable.

ESPN is pandering daily to the #hashtag best moment of the day. It's horrible to anybody with a long view, but it's great for a daily money grab corporation. Caitlyn is a desperate media attention whore hashtag Kardashian money grab. It's pretty sad how easy it is for these companies to get clicks.

To give a prestigious award of courage for this is sickening.

I can't believe public abominations are now seen as courage.

WTF is this world headed to?


Why don't sheep/goat/animal frickers get courageous awards too?

Most logical comment all thread.

It's offensive to me that all American news organizations now think that "trending" and "newsworthy" are synonymous. But they don't give a shite about 40 year old men. They are going for narcissistic teenagers and 20 year olds who actually think Twitter matters.

They could of gave it posthumous to Stu Scott or his daughters.

Stuart Scott won a different award. The fact that you don't know that is proof of your faux rage.

True for every single person in the thread.

This is irrelevant. On principle people are going to be pissed when an award designed to go to a courageous individual trying to overcome great odds doesn't go to one of those people but instead is used as a Kardashian publicity stunt and a shameless ratings grab.
