Bob Costas called ESPN's decision to award Caitlyn Jenner with the Arther Ashe Courage Award a "crass exploitation play."

The veteran broadcaster said that while he has no qualms over Jenner's transition from a man to a woman, he believes there are other more worthy candidates in the world of sports.

"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," Costas said on "The Dan Patrick Show."

He continued to say that ESPN's decision to award Jenner was merely to "attract eyeballs."

"I think this is just a play to pump up the audience, the way lots of things are put on television to attract eyeballs -- not because of the validity but because of whatever the kind of gawker factor is."

He's not lying. Shit is terrible on so many levels. This cross dressing fool haven't did shit for sports in 40 years but they want to give him an award because he's wearing a dress and got some fake tits. Why is espn trying to push that gay agenda on everyone. :smh:

This.
 
He's Bob Costas...he can easily withstand those comments

i agree with you to an extent. but there are forces here at play that supercede costas and his pull.

remember how much press micheal sam got even before he was drafted and even before he made the cut on any team. there is an agenda here that steamrolls anyone in the way.

not even fox news went after bruce jenner or any of this other stuff. that says alot.
 
His statement don't mean shit if he apologizes for it. They win. I'll wait to see his reaction to the reaction.
 
He's right and its not just limited to ESPN.

basically.

I find it funny how they find ways to force feed this bs to the public.
Looking at a sports award show and all of a sudden they find a way to slip in some shit about a tranny?

And him playing in the Olympics really has nothing to do with it...imho. Theres some other shit going on.
 
Whelp, time for Bob to look for some new work. He just fucked up, they comin'.

I doubt it... Bob Costa works for NBC. ESPN is owned by ABC, which is also the stationed that interviewed "it". You see the connection?:rolleyes:
 
They criticized Connor Cruise when he said it, they criticized Snoop Dogg when he said it, they criticized Clint Eastwood. I wonder if they're going to go after Bob Costas.
 
I give him props for speaking the truth. IF Bruce Jenner wants to live his life as a woman, then more power to him if that makes him happy. But to say he deserves a courage award for trying to live as a female is bullshit and beyond ridiculous. That award loses all credibility. Just being black, I should get a courage award myself for all the injustice I had to overcome in a white dominated society.

I don't fuck with Bob Costas - now that's a CAC prick if I ever saw or heard one speak. Meanwhile, ya'll are acting like an ESPY is a damn Nobel Prize. Fuck is an ESPY worth? ESPN and Bob Costas can both go to sleep.
