Both the ESPY's and ESPN are a joke, but there's a difference between a cross-dresser and a Trans woman.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
Woah, I don't give a fuck about anyone Kardashian related no matter what they do, and ESPN are kinda cashing in here, but still, some of you folk seem actively frightened and angry about this.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
do you carried away much? ESPN should be removed from the cable channel lineup for pretending to care about Jenner or his family. and the Kardashian family once again was successfully able to use a network for their gain. RIDICULOUS!LAglamrocker wrote:That was fantastic! The story,speech, his mom!, athletes sitting and learning something was good to see. He changed a lot of people minds with the speech, Good for her!
did the presentation mention anything about the car accident Jenner was involved in? a person was killed and guess what, it was not Jenner. just an innocent person who was driving on a highway.
i will take a wild guess and say nothing was mentioned of that huh?
FUCKING JOKE

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
It's not Transphobia, it's Transnausea. The world is acting like BRUCE is the first dude to ever mentally become a woman. He's not. Alexis Arquette became one years ago. Larry Wachowski (Matrix director) became one years ago. Did either of them end up with half as much attention? Nope. Because they're not associated with the Kardashians. This is a story for dipshit housewives who still buy the National Enquirer. Normally I avoid things I don't care about, but his story is inescapable and, quite frankly, not that special.Rainbow Bright wrote:The Transphobia is strong in this thread.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
So? That was forty years ago. Would ESPN be honoring him now if he didn't recently become a tabloid queen? No.DEATH ROW JOE wrote:LMFAO, hope for your sake you're doing a parody of an imbecile.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
I'm not sure what you want here cooperkill...
Do you want ESPN to be honoring more LGTB athletes, or fewer?
Should they seek out athletes who transitioned many years earlier?
Should it be Renee Richards - a true pioneer - who is being honored, rather than this Jenny come lately?
Regardless of what your exact problems with the award are, what is your big picture concern? Are you afraid that ESPN is undermining the vast credibility, legacy, and importance of an ESPY award with this event?

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
I don't want anything out of this. I'm just voicing my frustration in yet another American news story that's impossible to avoid. Basically, Jenner isn't doing anything new. He's tabloid fodder because of who he's associated with. ESPN, which hasn't mentioned his name in any show I've watched in the past dozen years, all of a sudden honor him. You can almost hear ESPN and every news outlet patting themselves on the back for covering this story. If he's helping people in some way, good for him, but Holy Christ is this shit overhyped.
(By the way, I feel the same way about celebrity marriages, diva baby bumps, and the horse that was somehow going to change the world by winning three races in a row.)

You have Alice Cooper's signature tattooed on your forearm, and sleep with a Jason doll.
Lots of people would think this shit is stupid, a brainless celebration of substance-lacking pop culture. But I doubt anybody is getting all fired up about it.
I keep hearing about this Catlyn Jenner Culture Assault and I'm not feeling it. It's pretty easy to avoid or disregard this shit. Not watching garbage like "The Espys" is a good start.

I didn't watch the ESPYs. I saw the clip on the news. For the record, they didn't mention any other awards.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
That UFC chick made the news when she got an ESPY. And rightfully so.
For the record, the only time that shitshow of an awards show has ever been cool was when they hired Norm MacDonald.

Don't know if this story is legit or not although it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were true.

Representatives of Caitlyn Jenner reportedly negotiated her ESPYs award in exchange for PR plugs in her upcoming TV series and threatened to pull out of her 20/20 interview.
Reports have emerged that Jenner’s team approached ESPN with the idea that she win the Arthur Ashe Courage Award just as details were being finalized for her 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC.
ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney, and ABC aired Wednesday's awards ceremony.
‘It was a brilliant move because the executives at ESPN loved the idea, and immediately began making sure it got done,’ a source familiar with the negotiations told RadarOnline.
The talks hit a stumbling block, and Jenner’s agents were reportedly prepared to pull out of the interview with Sawyer.
‘It was ironed out, and ABC owns one of the biggest stories of the year.’
The build up to Jenner accepting the award will be featured in her upcoming reality show, “I am Cait”, generating a great deal of publicity for both ESPN and the awards.
However, there is some dispute as to the timeline of the negotiations.
The Sawyer interview took place in April, and ESPYs producer Maura Mandt has told Sports Illustrated that the final decision was not reached until May after consultation with the Ashe Foundation.
ESPN has come under fire on social media for choosing Jenner for the prestigious award, with some claiming there are more worthy recipients.
One name that surfaced was the late Lauren Hill, the former Division III women's college basketball player. She raised $1.5 million for cancer research before succumbing to the disease.
Hill will be honored at Wednesday’s ceremony, and her family have said that they had nothing to do with the criticism of ESPN selecting Jenner.

RBO, from your perspective are you offended that Jenner is receiving this courage award when countless others blazed the trail before her without any recognition? Is all this praise really justified or earned? Is it enough that she's bringing a positive light to the issue?

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
I don't get the whole "If you don't like Bruce Jenner You're transphobic!!!" Dude is an attention whore and has been for sometime, never thought I'd see the day when people would be skeptical of others who dare doubt a member of the Kardashian clans motives. You CAN think coming out as transgendered is brave and still think a person is full of shit and just looking for a quick buck. I think plenty of people are brave just not this douche Would anyone actually be shocked if this was nothing but a publicity stunt?
Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
I more offended by the Kardashian's then his gender. I've never like Jenner, this changes nothing other then I can say I don't like the bitch. If it helps the gender movement then go for it. I'd rather support someone else.

Re: ESPY's honoring Bruce Jenner tonight?
exactly, most people I've talked with don't like jenner because of the Kardashian connection and the whole perception of lets strike while the irons hot when it comes to his transformation, it's an obvious cash grab, and yeah the Espy's may be shitty but they've honored much braver people, and tossed a much fitting person aside(lauren hill) for the sake of ratings, if jenner wasn't getting an award and openly shopping for designer gowns and size 18 heels while the media drooled over it do you think the show moves to ABC for the first time ever and gets promoted like never before with jenner as the center piece.....right before the "Caitlyn" show was to start? no fucking way. not liking that shit doesn't make one transphobic, in most cases it's people saying this shit is getting old fast.UtahRatt wrote:I more offended by the Kardashian's then his gender.
