Bob Costas: Caitlyn Jenner getting Arthur Ashe Courage Award is 'crass exploitation play', Consider Bob Costas as a real part of those neutral with ESPN/ABC honoring Caitlyn Jenner the prestigious Arthur Ashe Courage Award. The NBC sportscaster was on The Dan Patrick Show this week when the point of Jenner being given the honor at one month from now's ESPY's came up. Costas, who is nothing if not insightful, smooth and expert, didn't keep down.
"It strikes me that honoring the Arthur Ashe Award to Caitlyn Jenner is only a dense abuse play – its a tabloid play. In the wide universe of games, I'm almost certain they could've discovered somebody – and this is not anything against Caitlyn Jenner – who was much closer effectively included in games, who would've been meriting what that honor speaks to. This isn't to imply that it doesn't take some measure of individual valor to do what Caitlyn Jenner has done."
Costas is correct. It is "a play to pump up group of onlookers" and to look for "whatever the rubberneck component is." Jenner gives the grants, which are on ABC — the system that initially talked with Caitlyn Jenner — some mass bid.
Yet granting her is in accordance with previous victors of the recompense, for example, Billie Jean King, Michael Sam, Dean Smith, Muhammad Ali, four men who attempted to impede the 9/11 assault on Flight 93, Pat Tillman, Tommie Smith and John Carlos.
There were some other extraordinary competitors this year, including Lauren Davis, the school green bean with an inoperable cerebrum tumor who demonstrated phenomenal boldness by playing in a real diversion and scoring two focuses and, thusly, bringing issues to light about her condition before succumbing to the condition prior this year. Davis would get my vote, however I don't believe its appalling for Jenner to get the grant, the length of Davis gets some affirmation on the show that most won't be observing at any rate.
Regardless of the fact that you accept, as Costas does, that this is "a dense misuse play," would it say it isn't additionally an opportunity to "teach individuals on the difficulties that the transgender group faces," as an ESPN maker said? Why wouldn't it be able t
