ESPN is giving their Arthur Ashe Courage award to Caitlyn Jenner....over Lauren Hill.
While I'm sure Jenner feels courageous and countless SJW feel like she is too, she's out pimping her new reality show, doing photo shoots and piling up (even more) bank than she had before....meanwhile, Lauren Hill passed away in April and ESPN has moved on.
Jenner wasn't exactly doing this from a position of weakness. Jenner had money and platform already. This wasn't some 17 year old having to explain to his parents that he likes other boys.
Can't help but think this is either a shill to appease the SJW of the world or a complete snub to the truly courageous Lauren Hill who did what many in her situation couldn't or even wouldn't be able to do.
Maybe that's too cynical. Maybe they were just caught up in the moment...maybe.
But ESPN is a bastion of horrible decisions and even worse people. So I find it hard to believe they just got caught up in the moment.
ESPN dropped the ball here. The right choice was there and fairly obvious.
