Bob Costas: Caitlyn Jenner Receiving Arthur Ashe Award A ‘Crass Exploitation Play'

By CBS Connecticut, Jun. 9, 2015

BRISTOL, Conn. (CBS Connecticut/AP) — Legendary sports broadcaster Bob Costas is not a fan of Caitlyn Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS next month.

Speaking to “The Dan Patrick Show” on Monday, Costas called it a “crass exploitation play.”

“It strikes me that awarding the Arthur Ashe Award to Caitlyn Jenner is just a crass exploitation play – it’s a tabloid play,” Costas said. “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. That’s not to say it doesn’t take some measure of person courage to do what Caitlyn Jenner has done.”

ESPN has received some criticism from the online world about giving the former Olympian the award for coming out as a transgender woman. Some critics championed Lauren Hill, the Mount St. Joseph basketball player who died from brain cancer at the age of 19.

How A Massive Silent Cultural Revolution Has Changed America

By Kyle Smith, Jun. 6, 2015, NYPost.com

It happened without a Summer of Love, without Timothy Leary, without a groovy anthem or a shaggy new national look. In the past decade or so, there’s been a silent revolution in American culture, one at least as profound as the ’60s upheavals.

We’ve hardly taken notice of it, because it happened in people’s minds instead of in the streets, happened in ordinary people instead of in the elites and the punditocracy.

Compared to just a few years ago, we have a completely different set of ideas about what constitutes acceptable behavior. As Caitlyn Jenner puts it in her new reality show, “I’m the new normal.”

Consider America circa 2002: Not that different from today, seemingly. A time traveler who spent a few hours walking around your town then and now might have a difficult time filling a small notebook with observations about what’s changed. Maybe there are more Starbuckses. And what happened to Blockbuster Video?

Yet support for gay marriages to be treated the same as straight ones went from 39% just nine years ago to 60% today, according to Gallup. As recently as 2010, a clear majority opposed gay marriage. Today, a large majority support it.

Why Caitlyn Jenner Is The Most Shameless Kardashian Of Them All

By Robert Rorke, Jun. 3, 2015, NYPost.com

With precise timing and careful orchestration, Bruce Jenner turned his transformation to Caitlyn into a publicity stunt.

Anyone who sees it differently isn’t thinking clearly.

Caitlyn is an attaché of the monstrous Kardashian publicity machine, which has bankrolled an entire network, put the national media in a stranglehold, and persuaded an entire generation of adoring fans to embrace its relentless banality.

The former Olympic athlete has shown them all — especially ex-wife Kris, the family’s master puppeteer — that she’s beating the Kardashians at their own game.

Her transformation on the July cover of Vanity Fair — from Bruce, a hulking, ruddy-faced guy in a ponytail and sweatpants, into Caitlyn, a 1950s-style bathing beautywhose imperfections have been smoothed over through the wizardry of modern graphic design — has been carefully crafted into guaranteed newsstand gold: She’s a product, the most glamorous Kardashian of them all.

Bruce Jenner’s Audacious Challenge To Gop: A Trailblazer Takes Flight

Tim Teeman, Apr. 26, 2015, Apr. 26, 2016, TheDailyBeast.com

On Friday night, Bruce Jenner’s TV interview surprised everyone for its honesty and depth. Could he turn out to be an influential, inspirational activist?

The paparazzi pictures of Bruce Jenner on Sunday tell their own meaningful story.

Just a few days ago he was being photographed, without his knowledge, from a hillside near his home by paparazzi training their telephoto lenses on a figure in a striped dress.

Even when he was photographed out shopping, his head was down as the snappers pursued him, baiting him about transitioning.

But now, as the new pictures show, Jenner is smiling that quizzical smile of his that was much in evidence during Diane Sawyer’s landmark ABC interview with him on Friday.
