Caitlyn Jenner excitedly wrote on Twitter “What the hell am I going to wear?” when it was announced that the reality star was to be honored at next month’s ESPY’s with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.

Caitlyn is the new female identity of former Olympic gold-medal winner Bruce Jenner, which was revealed Monday

But now some are crying foul over ESPN’s decision to choose Jenner, 65, instead of Mount St. Joseph basketball player Lauren Hill, who courageously battled brain cancer while staying on the university team. The 19-year-old lost her fight against cancer on April 10.

How does a sports station seriously support these things? Men I know do not agree with this PC illogical stuff. Not really any sports fan. Brainwashing? Braindead?

This is Lauren Hill. A very courageous young lady.

We are a trivial culture.

Obama wants to present the ‘award’ himself, but is willing to play it safe for now, and send Michelle to do the dirty deed.

REAL courage is what Lauren Hill showed when she was battling brain cancer, she never asked anyone for sympathy, she went out there and played her heart out on that court, knowing that she would die..that is TRUE courage..TRUE courage is the marine who got his legs blown off in Iraq, that is TRUE courage..TRUE courage is Leah Still, a little girl who is battling cancer right now and is in need of everyone’s prayers..if Bruce Jenner has ANY decency, he will give up that award and give it to someone who truly deserves it

He’s allegedly more courageous, he CHOSE to be a woman.

Exactly. Brucie is just a dumbass transvestite with breast implants and taking female hormones too that lead to female breasts.
He is not a real transgender “woman” until he gets his balls and penis loped off. He has not done so. He is a money grubbing fraud. The low information voters thrive on this toxic sludge for their minds

[superfries]

Ur thinking of the wrong Lauren Hill

I would presume Bruce Jenner has a sexual preference. Had he privately and quietly had his "change" it might have been less provocative. What concerns me is that some years ago I read of a man hooking up with a "female" at a bar. They got into some groping in the back seat of his vehicle. He was so disturbed when finding out the "female" had male genitalia, he committed murder. His life ruined. I could not find that reference, but found this.

February 2015. A Texas College football player met online a "female." A relative explained they got into some hot and heavy stuff on meeting. This was in a vehicle. Two shots were heard and forensics put the football player on trial for his life. The trans gender person was dead.

The 21 year old football player as his photograph showed, could have had success with women in general. I am saddened by the sudden revulsion that causes some men to completely lose it. Lives ruined.

Let us get back to normal.

We are headed toward a time when our ultra frivolous, easily amused. populace will just hand it all to anybody that screams BOO.

I read you and know there is a valid reason for your apparent despair. As I watch the various television shows and the fawning agenda driven sycophantic talking heads, I shout in disgust. However and it is a big however, I often visit our neighboring twin city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

It seems that the rot and degeneration has not reached much of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Maybe someone will say different. Life goes on and the long ships pass up and down the St Mary's River. The tourists flock along the waterfront. One murder in the last five years. Low crime rate.

I have read the book "The Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon, first printed about 2002. His little odyssey around the periphery of the USA. The quiet strength of the men and women in little towns stands out. Now I know this is a long screed, please excuse. I am now 83 years old. The highlight of my summer is to be driven by my daughter and family up to Michigan's Copper Country. This in August. I first "discovered" it in 1961. Took relatives from England up there.

Then there is the classic film Anatomy of a Murder. This made up in those parts. I expect to see everything much as I last saw it. This old fashioned America must and will endure. The struggle will not be easy. Those who sneer will have to face one heck of a winter season (laughs). No room for frivolous do nothings, I would guess.
