Bob Costas Slams Caitlyn Jenner's Controversial ESPYS Award

Bob Costas doesn't have anything against Caitlyn Jenner — but he does have a problem with her receiving Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYS in July. The sports broadcaster spoke to The Dan Patrick Show and said he thinks there are other athletes who may be more deserving than Jenner.
The 63-year-old said he has no issues with Jenner but he believes that ESPN bought into the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians culture." The veteran newsman said he objects to ESPN's decision to single her out as the ultimate example of courage in sports.
"Bruce Jenner, who I did not know well, I always had a cordial and pleasant relationship with. I wish Caitlyn Jenner well, and anyone — even if most of us do not fully understand it — anyone seeking to find the identity they're comfortable with and to live the happiest possible life without intentionally hurting anyone else...I think we're moving toward a more tolerant society, and that's all for the good, and I wish Caitlyn all the happiness in the world and all the peace of mind in the world."
We think Costas has some great points but not sure if others will agree ...
