On Wednesday the ESPYs are on & as many of you already know Bruce Jenner will be recieving the Arther Ashe award for courage. Arther Ashe contracted HIV through a blood transfusion died in 1993.
Evangelist Franklin Graham hit the nail on the head when he had this to say.....
"It's hard to accept when you read about our wounded veterans, some of which have gone through 30-40 surgeries, not to change there gender but to try & put there broken bodies back together after defending our country. And to recognize the very confused Caitlyn Jenner as a hero before the entire world is in comparison a disgrace".
Some of the more recent recipients include, Pat Tillman. Nelson Mandela, Jim Valvano & the 4 men who stormed the cockpit of United airlines flight 93 on 9/11 to prevent it from reaching its target. There is NOTHING in Jenner's personal decision that involves heroism.
IMO if ESPN wants to honor courage this year, Lauren Hill the 17 year old college basketball player who battled a brain tumor before dying. Or there own sports commentator Shelley Smith who appears on the telecasts completely bald while battling her own cancer.
I will not be watching this show as I think its a complete disgrace that ESPN has completely lost its definition of what true heroism really means.
