Anger over Caitlyn Jenner being chosen over Lauren Hill for ESPY courage award

When it was announced that Caitlyn Jenner was to
be honored at next month’s ESPY’s with the Arthur
Ashe Award for Courage. Jenner  excitedly wrote
on Twitter “What the hell am I going to wear?”
But now some are crying foul over ESPN’s
decision to choose Jenner, 65, instead of Mount St.
Joseph basketball player Lauren Hill, who
courageously battled brain cancer while staying on
the university team. The 19-year-old lost her fight
against cancer on April 10.
Several fans took to twitter to vent their frustration.
But Hill wasn't the only overlooked candidate
people were made about. Iraq veteran Noah
Galloway, who lost most of an arm and a leg
fighting, but still competes in extreme sports and
almost won this season's "Dancing With the
Stars," also had hundreds of tweets from fans irate
over Jenner's choice.
ESPN would only say of their decision-making
process that “many people are discussed every
year,” and that "there is no such thing as a runner-
up."
They also provided a written statement which said
Jenner was chosen "to help move forward a
constructive dialogue about progress and
acceptance."
