I believe Costas got it right:

NBC sports anchor Bob Costas said:
“It strikes me that awarding the Arthur Ashe Award to Caitlyn Jenner is just a crass exploitation play – it’s a tabloid play.


In the broad world of sports, I’m pretty sure they could’ve found someone – and this is not anything against Caitlyn Jenner – who was much closer actively involved in sports, who would’ve been deserving of what that award represents.”

Have to agree with Bob there, its not often, but this is well articulated.

...it's an outright classless display and an insult to Arthur Ashe.

Yeah, IMO, Bob got it right, bullseye............

and yep, it is an insult to Arthur Ashe, a total mockery IMO......

espn does not represent my values, and the
way they are going is straight down the
path of inequity. Shame on them.

...espn has no "shame:...they never have.

I'm happy Bob Costas had the guts to tell it like it is.

Just saw...Cowherd is bailing on ESPN too.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

After this years ESPY fiasco with Jenner-fer, I don't see any point in even providing the award in future years.......!!!

I find it really hard to believe that the powers that be at ESPN couldn't find a more worthy recipient.
