If you don't know me by now; I tend to avoid sensational journalism and like to remain objective. That's when I saw this meme, I quickly went ahead to check facts. Even though I now know that it was a rumor as far as SGT Noah Galloway being a "runner-up", STILL the fact that he was not even nominated in the first place boggles my mind. This really got under my skin.

Probably 99% of the RP community was cheering for Noah Galloway. Why? Because he represents US. The ESPY's and the Arthur Ashe Award didn't exist in 1976 --which is, in my estimation, when Jenner should have been eligible. His day has passed. ESPN can kiss our rosy red backsides ...'til football season. Then, we'll be right back in front of the tube every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights.

In the meantime, I propose the inaugural "RP Courage Award." This year's winner: SGT Noah Galloway, U.S. Army

To tell you the truth, I didn't even know about this award until this falsehood went viral.

Just as i'm sure a lot of the outraged people on the internet didn't have a clue about the award either, but you mention a veteran being passed over...oh boy...brace yourselves.

Yes. Rating is all they care about. The only way we can make our voices heard is by hitting them where is counts...their rating.

ESPN should be ashamed of themselves. It's disgraceful and a slap in the face.
