Caitlyn Jenner excitedly tweeted “What the hell am I going to wear?” when it was announced that the reality star was to be honored at next month’s ESPYs with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.

Caitlyn is the new female identity of former Olympic gold medal winner Bruce Jenner, which was revealed Monday.

But now some are crying foul over ESPN’s decision to choose Jenner, 65, instead of Mount St. Joseph basketball player Lauren Hill, who courageously battled brain cancer while staying on the university team. The 19-year-old lost her fight against cancer on April 10.

And $cam told his coaches and teammates not to say anything until after his CFB career was over. His “courage” was timed for the NFL Draft, gee what a coincidence

If Sam The Sham was really “courageous” why didn’t he “Come out” during college. It was common knowledge around town he was homo. For the panderers at ESPN to award “Courage” Awards to $cam and Brucie just shows how effed up they are, how out of touch. These mental patients are in it just for the $$$, first and foremost. There’s no “courage” involved. Just duping naive panderers.

Basic Education for
Valerie's man child, the uneducated dolts at ESPN and
other liberals:

Males have XY chromosomes.

Females have XX chromosomes.

The person you are applauding 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.

I have a feeling that fans of the athlete-formerly-known-as-Bruce are NOT the target demographic for ESPN.

I say Boycott ESPN. They can push the agenda but I can vote with my channel changer.
