I mean, 99.9% of the population doesn't watch the ESPYs. It's not like I was talking about the Super Bowl or even the Teen Choice Awards.

Jim Kelly's feat was tremendous, but I think Caitlyn's coming out will be more impactf, socially, for our country going forward. It's more representative of the manifestation of our most cherished and lauded ideals.

You mean impacting the .05% of people who are like Bruce? (I don't know the actual number, I made that up but I know it's really small)

I do give you an A+ for effort tho. You are one persistent son of a bitch

Hey I was thinking about it earlier and I was where your thought process is..but then I thought about what we want to stand for as a country and the ideals we lauded. Ideals we must protect for everyone.

Even if it's .05 of the population, every single bit of that .05 deserves respect and deserves equality in our country. That trumps the discomfort of the .95. Always does and always will.

We aren't America, or America at its fullest and best when we disregard, ignore and discriminate against minorities.

Maybe that small percentage is just fricked in the head.

Disney/ABC/ESPN = Liberal Social Agenda


Now the only question is, will Robin Roberts or George Stephanopolous be the first to interview Catelyn?

No one is saying he shouldnt have equality in the country. It's the fact of giving him some courage award over plenty of other people who more deserve it

Do you think ESPN chose him because they honestly thought he was the one who deserved it most? Or do you think they chose it because more people will talk about it, get riled up about, and will increase their ratings??

It's an easy answer

Tony Soprano was on to something in his rant to the psychologist about gay couples.

he said it would lead to other peculiar behavior eventually being accepted.

By the very definition, he would qualify as a freak.... But you can't call him that because "he's not, he's normal"....

I'm sure billionaires who run this empire are Democrats.
