ESPN has damaged the credibility of the Arthur Ashe “ESPY” Courage Award by planning to give the award to reality show actor Bruce Jenner for what appears to be nothing more than an elaborate publicity stunt. Jenner claims he’s now a female character called “Caitlyn” but admits he hasn’t had, and doesn’t plan to have, an operation to change his body from male to female....I might let him get away with this farce if there weren’t much better qualified candidates for the award.

That’s his out. You shouldn’t post it on public forums.
Good point.
ESPN is one or the more fanatically politically correct entities now in the world of entertainment and supposedly “unbiased” reporting of that entertainment. “Courage” is just another word they want to take control of and change its meaning into something much twisted from its original definition.
“Courage” used in this sense would apply equally to the Cowardly Lion in the world of Oz. False and ultimately unearned.
Why doesn't Jenner simply turn down the award??
I estimate 225-250 million people absolutely despise the way the country is going socially. But fear from being labelled a bigot , your life ruined , audited relentlessly by the IRS , and / or possibly jailed it’s easy to just not say anything at all.

For the same reason he underwent his surgery. He’s a publicity whore who’s desperate for attention. When was the last time anyone paid any attention to him? 1976?
Less than $2000 to go to end the FReepathon. Throw $5 at it.
Thanks.
Transjenner just needs a good arse kicking from a girl.
SPAM MUCH?
Like everything else these days, the definition of “courage” has gone to sh*t. Thinking you are a woman and dressing up like one IS NOT courage. That’s just being a freak.
excellent commentary
It takes a UK newspaper to tell the truth about this mental case named Jenner.
What do you expect from the likes of the WA compost, the NY and LA slime and the PC correct morons at ESPN. If Walt Disney was alive today, no one at ABC or ESPN would have a job. What an absolute joke.
The liberalization of America is a sad thing. From queer “marriage” to the lame attempt to normalize something like this freak Jenner, our culture is under attack. Just look at the average media headline regarding Jenner, they all call him “She” or “Her”. Don’t think for a second the goal isn’t to indoctrinate the younger generations who see this garbage and are led to believe it acceptable. I/we never will, because we know better. But those young impressionable minds are being targeted and they are at risk.

$20.00 You post a lot. You don’t donate?
Seems to me after hearing the “interview,” that this is pretty transparently just a publicity stunt for the Kardashian Money Making Machine, with this new spin-off.
Some people donate anonymously. And some people donate a large annual amount and not at every ‘thon.
How do you know that?
