Shame On ESPN:

From Fox News: Caitlyn Jenner excitedly wrote on Twitter “What the hell am I going to wear?” when it was announced that the reality star was to be honored at next month’s ESPY’s 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....
But Hill wasn't the only overlooked candidate people were made about. Iraq veteran Noah Galloway, who lost most of an arm and a leg fighting, but still competes in extreme sports and almost won this season's "Dancing With the Stars," also had hundreds of tweets from fans irate over Jenner's choice.
ESPN would only say to FOX411 of their decision-making process that “many people are discussed every year,” and that "there is no such thing as a runner-up." They also provided a written statement which said Jenner was chosen "to help move forward a constructive dialogue about progress and acceptance."  http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/06/03/anger-over-caitlyn-jenner-being-chosen-over-lauren-hill-for-espy-courage-award/
Jenner is nothing but an attention seeking whore, seeks as much attention as the family he married into- the Kardashians.
He also killed a woman because the moron doesn't know how to drive.  Where is her award from ESPN?
There are so many cases of athletes who courageously battle adversity while Jenner undergoes elective surgery.
Finally, Jenner still an athlete? 
What has done athletically in the past 20 years or so?
Shame on ESPN for choose Jenner to be some kind of courageous fellow.
