Author Topic: Arthur Ashe Courage Award will be presented to Bruce Jenner at the 2015 ESPYS  (Read 1876 times)

Man what a load of bs this. I thought the award would be presented to someone like Jim Kelly who fought his ass off to beat cancer or Lauren Hill who also battled cancer and and played the sport she loved up until the moment she passed away. The runner up for the award is Noah Galloway who lost an arm and a leg in Iraq then went on to become a runner and a competitor on dancing with the stars. I wasn't annoyed by the whole Jenner thing until now and I'm probably not going to watch the ESPYS this year because of it.

hey it takes a lot of guts to cut your richard off


i just hate how we pour so much media attention towards something as dumb as a person getting a love change
can't we focus on things that are actually important?

I can't express my frustration towards this in words.

this

i mean, like, with people like that iraq guy, it's a story of loss and then success

what's this got

I can't express in words how much more important stuff there is going on right now.

like yeah it takes courage with all the discrimination and stuff but there are 10000x more courageous people out there they could have given the award to. forget that.

guys we need to throw the POOR OPPRESSED MINORITIES into hugboxes and give them free awards because they need to be uplifted by condescending to them instead of giving achievements to people who actually accomplished something in spite of physical barriers

yeah not sure if jenner was the best candidate for this

agreed lol

To be fair, you could probably go back every year in the history of this award and find other candidates who would have been more suitable candidates.

i still am unclear why we need to celebrate bruce's lovechange over the other hundred thousand people who have had lovechanges previously. i dunno what makes his so different.

the essence of ridiculousness
