Quote:Meh...  the main stream media is plastering this story everywhere as if to make a PC point.  It used to be a sport-oriented award, but now it's nothing more than a "feel good" award, much like the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

I suppose that he/she is "courageous" for putting his/her personal life out there for all to see.

 

If he/she was being honored for his accomplishment in the Olympics I might care.

Exactly.  The best part about this is that the MSM jumped into this with both feet obsessing over his transition, hanging on his every word when he did that interview recently.  Then he dared to admit his conservative political viewpoint during the interview.  The twitterverse went berserk trashing the guy after spending all of the time up to that point lauding him for being so forthcoming.  It was an amazing shift and it happened in an instant.  The reaction was swift and it was absolutely brutal.  Here they were thinking they had a kindred spirit standing up and joining the LGBT community only to come out as an evil conservative.  What a letdown that must have been for them.
