Exactly. This is why Rolling Stone put the Tsarnaev on their cover and also published a bogus rape story.
The sports world, at least some in the higher ranks, appear to be embracing Jenner's change. I don't know if part of that stems from almost guaranteed higher ratings for the broadcast of the Arthur Ashe awards.
ESPN will honor Caitlyn Jenner with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY Awards, according to CNN's Brian Stelter. The show is set to take place on July 15 on ABC.
The Arthur Ashe Award is given to those "possessing strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of peril and the willingness to stand up for their beliefs no matter what the cost," according to ESPN.com. Past winners include Michael Sam, Robin Roberts, Nelson Mandela, Pat Tillman, Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King.
