Michael Sam has been selected as the winner of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
The former Missouri defensive end, who likely will be taken in this week's NFL draft, will receive the award given to individuals who transcend sports at the 2014 ESPYS on July 16.
Sam, the SEC's defensive player of the year this past season, has announced he is gay and would become the first openly gay player in the NFL. He said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that he hopes to inspire other athletes.

Courage awards should go to the team mates who might have to bend over in the shower.

Inspire other athletes? To do what exactly? If this opportunist hadn't come out, he'd be a late-round pick destined for the practice squad.

Because the liberals have decided it is courageous to declare yourself a homosexual. so he gets an award for this alleged courage, in a media/entertainment environment which honors homosexuality.

When political correctness is confused with courage, true courage is either ignored or derided.

Well, I thought I was making that point by asking what I thought was a purely hypothetical question
..a question to expose the PC hypocirsy, not a question really begging an answer

So, an openly Sodomite football player receives an award named after a famous tennis player who died from a diseased he received from a blood transfusion that was tainted by Sodomites.
Circle of Life ... I suppose....

He wasn’t homosexual. He may have gotten AIDS from a blood transfusion.

Cultural Marxists will forever push the “victim” meme in order to control the minds and actions of Godless creatures. Victimology along with a threat of social/professional "ostracization" if you openly defy the reason for why the award was given. In this case, male-on-male buggery.
