Really ESPN? A sports achievement show turned into a progressive

mis- entertainment freak show. I want to say he / she is a drama king / queen, but I am disturbing,y amused and concerned what "it" will do for an "encore".

After a reality show with the Kardashians and a lopping of the balls, I don't know what else "it" could do for attention.

I don't think Jenner is a progressive. Wrong to assume that all trans people are progressive. Just as wrong as assuming all gays, or blacks, or Hispanics are progressive.

Jenner is just icky.

Every media outlet I the country has had Jenner stories. That doesn't make them all progressive.

I can't deny that it is a significant story, whether I think it is icky or not.

After almost 63 years on this Earth, I have come to the conclusion that people have the right to be happy.

If a guy I served on a high school music parents association board with comes out as a gay man and has never been happier in his life, who am I to tell him he should have stayed miserable?

If a young guy in my best friend's family feels he has been a girl living in a boy's body and does something about it, who am I to not give HER the respect she wants so badly?

If a guy whom I found out 30 years after graduating high school with him is gay, what am I supposed to do, hate him, even though he is the wonderful guy we've sat at high school football with for a long time?

If a guy I have admired since that week in Montreal when he won the Decathlon in world record points, wants to finally become what he has always believed himself to be, a woman. Who am I to tell her she should shove her feelings in a basement room and keep living in a way that brings her mental anguish and pain?

My motto has become "live and let live." None of these people affect my life in a negative way at all. Why should I try to ruin their happiness out of spite and hate?

I think you misunderstood my post. Caitlin is simply disturbed. ESPN, however, is just another progressive arm of the ABC/Disney cram/down media. This show is less about what happens on the competitive surfaces and more about what happens in ......

I found it much easier to just change the channel and watch Pretty Little Liars instead. As painful as that was..

Not that I matters, but I'm pretty sure she still has her man parts.

For YOU to call it a freak-show is really saying something.

I guess the old adage is true: It takes on to know one!

LOL!!!!

That was too easy!!

In case you haven't been paying attention, the game itself is less about what happens on the field/court than about the drama that happens off the field/court. And Sportscenter has become unwatchable for me because of the focus on everything but the actual games.

I tuned in to see if Micha Hancock would win, but between the two hours of depressing (but absolutely worthwhile) cancer speeches and an hour of Caitlyn Jenner, I don't know that her award was ever broadcast (though I know she lost).

Now I'm confused because I thought Pretty Little Liars and ESPN were the same show?

That was really well said EPC FAN.
An excellent post.
