Giving Jenner - Bruce or otherwise the Arthur Ashe Courage Award is like giving the award to Steve Young Athlete of the Year for his play on the football filed over 10 years ago. The Arthur Ashe Courage Award is a sport-oriented award, even though it's not limited to sports-related people or actions, as it is presented annually to individuals whose contributions "transcend sports". Someone in the current realm of sports life or that impacted sports or the community on some level.
Yeah, there have been other people that have received the award but they still impacted community of sport on some level. Even Nelson Mandela.
Still, I understand the notion that ESPN is just grabbing for the attention.
