Awarding and promoting emotional instability. People running ESPN are disgusting.
ESPN is a joke. They recycle the same athletes and teams and the attempt to brainwash is apparent. My viewing with the channel is minimal. Yesterday, while flipping through the channels, the “Lead” included a note about the upcoming Belmont Stakes. One sentence at the bottom of the scroll. It stated...”Victor Espinoza, Mexican-born, will try to become the first Latino jockey to win the Triple Crown.” Really? That is what ESPN highlighted? If the jockey was from Maine, would ESPN say something similar?
No one had any courage.
Of course not.
What’s the name of that college girl who was dying of brain cancer and hung on a few more months just so she could fulfill her dream of playing college basketball?
Courage? What courage?
The way has been made so easy for a person of uncertain gender orientation, that it was only riding the crest of a recent and perhaps quite ephemeral fad, which like the sweeping waves of a seashore, breaks and washes back to the larger sea.
South Park has done a number of parodies on this self-exultation of perversity and contrary behavior. Eric Cartman is usually playing the starring role.
A parallel may be found in the excesses chronicled by F.Scott Fitzgerald, regarding the 1920’s, Prohibition and generally widespread flouting of the law and civilized behavior.
Mental illness praised as courage. There is no hope for modern America.
Who or what made ESPN the arbiter of courage, or did they simply arrogate that distinction for themselves?
Agreed - she showed real courage
I'm going to laugh my ass off a year or so from now when "Caitlyn" Jenner returns to being Bruce.
I think this whole sordid mess is nothing but a publicity stunt.
I believe her name was Lauren Hill. RIP
Regards,
WTF does Bruce Jenner’s mental illness have to do with SPORTS?
People running it, sponsoring it and watching it. Boycott the sobs
Celebrate insanity.
It takes zero courage to run away from who you are. It takes zero courage to line in your little fantasy world with the whole world cheering you on. The sports establishment is just another arm of the rotten establishment.
They want to see courage? Come to Northwoods Ice Skating rink in San Antonio during the annual Sled Hockey tournament. You will see at least 100 athletes who are more courageous than someone whose better days as an athlete were almost 40 years ago.
Changing your identity and playing dress up does not require courage and ESPN should know this.
