Giving her the fighter of the year award is clearly a case of ridiculous political correctness. I have never seen such an overhyped fighter.

Ronda Rousey could not beat a single participant in the men's 126 pound weight class of the NCAA wrestling championships, if they made their MMA debut against her. This is the weight class below hers. Every single wrestler in the 126 pound weight class in that tournament was stronger, faster, more athletic, and more skilled than she is.

So she can't beat up the guys...who cares? She's still been very dominant in her sport.

I doubt the Williams sisters could hang in a tennis match against the best male players but that doesn't mean they weren't deserving of respect in their sport.

It should've gone to Brock Lesnar. He ended the streak and squashed John Cena for the title.

So you're saying she doesn't deserve it because a bunch of dudes could beat her?

So did they basically just go all in on the political correctness angle this year? I didn't see anything but the Devin Still speech. And that's the first thing I've seen of the ESPYs since Devery caught the Bluegrass Miracle.

She deserved it. She had a very recognizable year.. Even I now know who she is when I never heard of her prior to 2015.

This actually isn't a pr stunt imho. She was legit worthy. You can't compare the two or dismiss her for not being a guy.

There should be a thread titled "Place your ESPY gripes here."

Do the boys need a special category so they can get a trophy, too?

Look I'm not a fan of Ronda either.

Great athlete no doubt, I think she should have accepted her award with grace and not mention mayweather in her speech.

However I am confused by you posting this. It seems like a captain obvious post she obviously couldn't outwrestle them.

Not even the worst Ronda robbery of the night. She beat out Serena Williams for Best Female athlete of the year.

People who actually watch the espys are just looking for something to be a butthurt bitch about.


Just stop watching ESPN. I get all my news from TD anyway and you'll be better off
