Bob Costas: ESPN 'Courage' Award to Jenner Is 'Crass Exploitation,' a 'Tabloid Play'

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Bruce “Call Me Caitlyn” Jenner spurred another controversial firestorm with the announcement of being awarded ESPN’s Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the upcoming ESPYs. Jenner, who swapped athletics for acting in commercials and TV shows shortly after the 1976 Olympics, is being given the award despite many other deserving people who have shown courage in the face of adversity, such as Mount St. Joseph University basketball player Lauren Hill, who battled terminal brain cancer yet continued to play basketball.
