AGENT PROVOCATEURS

That is really depressing.

Seriously? I try to avoid most things Kardashian, so I know little about them, but is Gawker actually full of passionate Kardashian defenders?

My 2 cents: Lauren Hill from mount st Joseph in Cincinnati deserved this award more than anyone in the world. That girl faced cancer like a fucking warrior.

Ed Sheeran, who I don’t get

I agree, and funny you should mention that. Lauren Hill should have won that award. No comparison in my book. A college basketball player struggling with the pain of terminal cancer and chemotherapy who uses that struggle to raise millions for cancer research? Or a reality show star getting plastic surgery and a new…

You make some good points in your first paragraph, but Stuart Scott never won the award. That being said, while the ESPYS are a joke, the list of people that won this award is pretty damn impressive. If you look at the list and what the winners have gone through, Michael Sam and Caitlin Jenner are pretty obvious…

For your hard day, my other All-Time Favorite, as I am old and also a dork :

No joke: today my car broke down and I discovered I did not get a job I need. This made me fucking cry with laughter. All the stars to you.

I have a real issue with with giving Caitlyn the award. First let me preface it by saying

I agree with you, and I think it’s a shame that Deadspin has become a place for performative sanctimony, where one has to preface and apologize for having a different perspective, even if it’s both reasonable and not offensive (like yours).

You know why.... RAWR!

People can hate the Kardashians and reality TV all they want.

I don’t know Tom, I mean. I am afraid here at Deadspin to say what I think without repercussion. I mean, I get the ESPYs are just famewhoring anyways. I do think reasonable people (not necessarily just Bob Costas) have legit hesitations about hoisting Caitlyn up so unequivocally. I’m sorry :(

Bob’s soapbox is now officially taller than he is.

Good god, the snark here is unbearable

I bought all three movies on iTunes a few months back in a fit of...I dunno, nostalgia? Acute velociraptor deficiency? And holy SHIT I’d forgotten how bad the other two are. :(

Jimi Hendrix comes along and turns it into a classic.

Same here. It definitely struck me as a joke about her media saturation over the past week, not about her transition. But everybody is in kneejerk mode with this story right now, so anything that’s not 200% positive about her is going to be called transphobic. I swear, our country has turned into Quahog/South…

My partner worked on this pathetic excuse for an “award” show, and said Eastwood was actually one of the few presenters who was funny and DeNiro is the one who needs to be sent away on an ice float. This was all prior to this non-story making the rounds. (You do realize you’re just feeding the beast here, Jezebel?).
