At the 1976 summer Olympics in Montréal, Bruce Jenner won the gold medal for the men’s decathlon, setting a world record with 8616 points.

In July, Jenner will be honored with another award, this time for a much different “achievement.” On Monday, Time reported that at ESPN’s ESPY Awards, the former world’s greatest male athlete will receive the acclaimed Arthur Ashe Award for coming out as a transgender.

NYC disease.

Residents of NYC both in front and behind the camera (especially behind) are very very leftist despite their on camera personas.

Just because one cam claim a gemder preference. Unless their body parts change with it. As with discharges of eggs from a male body part, and sperm from a female body part, that really would validate their claim. Otherwise that claim would seem to be a mental disorder./s

Ashe died of AIDS due to a blood transfusion, not immoral behaviour.

In related news, Team Obama is lifting the ban on homosexual men donating blood.

What many minorities don't understand (and don't take advantage of) is they're privileged also. Because they're living in a country where people with ability can go far. There are now a number of black billionaires. Name another country where that happens other than some corrupt African dictator who robs his own people.

But if you mention that to any of number of certain minorities, they explode with indignation and howls of laughter.

But it's still true...if you have the ability, you can go far in this country. Even with liberals screwing everything up.

Basic Education for
Valerie's man child and
other liberals:

Males have XY chromosomes.

Females have XX chromosomes.

The person you "tweeted" about is a male, no matter how many body parts he cuts or distorts or tucks or how many chemicals he injects into his body.

Period.

Full stop.

End of story.

For a society that somehow thinks of itself as educated and scientific, we sure have found a way to pervert PERCEPTION over REALITY.

Where’s all the faux angst about the incredible amount of airbrushing required to make this mentally deranged malcontent intoxicated on fame pass for a woman?

Just wondering.....

Yep And CDC is considering revoking the ban on blood donations by gays. They may have done it already.

If being a she/man indicates any amount of courage (playing devil’s advocate here) ESPN should give it to Rene Richards. S/he actually had the surgery.

He's insulated by a Leftist Hollywood echo chamber. Why is this viewed as brave?

Although I do believe there are some in his circle who are afraid of the "tolerants" among them to really speak their mind. That Vanity Fair pic was worse than silly - it was pathetic and depressing. He looks ridiculous.

The biggest reason for this award? Ratings.

I haven’t watched ESPN since they fired Rush.
