ESPN's Arthur Ashe Courage Award and the dropped ball

In the absence of Jenner let's say the award went to Hill. Then you can have people questioning them for trying to profit from a young woman's death, which they most certainly would be doing.

So, what I am getting is there is a contingent here who would rather see ESPN profiteer on a young female athlete's untimely death over profiteering on the gender politics of the day. Sorry, but not the bandwagon I want to jump on.

I'm going to guess that most people's problem with the issue is probably because the one lost her battle and the other got exactly what they wanted.
