    I believe Costas got it right:

    NBC sports anchor Bob Costas said:
    “It strikes me that awarding the Arthur Ashe Award to Caitlyn Jenner is just a crass exploitation play – it’s a tabloid play.


    In the broad world of sports, I’m pretty sure they could’ve found someone – and this is not anything against Caitlyn Jenner – who was much closer actively involved in sports, who would’ve been deserving of what that award represents.”

    ...it's an outright classless display and an insult to Arthur Ashe.

    espn does not represent my values, and the
    way they are going is straight down the
    path of inequity. Shame on them.

    I'm happy Bob Costas had the guts to tell it like it is.

    After this years ESPY fiasco with Jenner-fer, I don't see any point in even providing the award in future years.......!!!

    I find it really hard to believe that the powers that be at ESPN couldn't find a more worthy recipient.
