Report: Caitlyn Jenner's Camp Pitched ESPY Award in Exchange for PR Plugs

Chron.com:

ESPN's annual ESPY Awards show generally comes and goes with little controversy.

Until this year, that is. 

Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic champion decathlete, will be awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at Wednesday night's event which will be televised on ABC. Abby Wambach, a member of the U.S. women's national soccer team that just won the World Cup, will present Jenner with the award.

According to a new report, Jenner's ESPY award originated as a pitch from her representatives to ESPN. Per RadarOnline, Jenner's camp suggested to the network that she receive the award and offered public relations plugs on her upcoming reality show in return.

"They suggested that she receive the Arthur Ashe award,” a source told the website. “It was a brilliant move because the executives at ESPN loved the idea, and immediately began making sure it got done. Caitlyn’s journey to accepting the award will also be featured on her upcoming reality show, 'I am Cait.'”

That's right. Thanks to Barack Obama, white liberals, the Gay Mafia and the rest of the sexually-deviant loving, morally bankrupt souls on the Left, a man who chooses to dress and act like a woman is getting a notable "courage" award, while real courageous athletes of recent past are blithely passed over.
