Who Else Should Have Received ESPY Instead of Jenner?

This was bravery topped off with being very unselfish and sports,

ESPYs honor late Lauren Hill for inspirational cancer battle LOS ANGELES Lauren Hill was honored Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards for the best moment. Hill inspired people with her fight against brain cancer and raised over $1.5 million for cancer research before she died April 10. The Division III women's basketball player just wanted to play one game in college.

There was online backlash when ESPN decided to honor Caitlyn Jenner with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, with many believing Hill was more deserving.

The Daily Mail reported this about Jenner, not associated with sports for a very long time.

REVEALED: Caitlyn Jenner's reps 'demanded ESPYs award in exchange for PR plugs and Diane Sawyer interview'
Caitlyn Jenner's representatives asked ESPN that she be the recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs
They offered PR plugs on Jenner's upcoming reality show 'I am Cait'
ESPN executives loved the idea
Talks hit a stumbling block and Jenner's team threatened to pull out of the 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC
ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney
The problems were resolved and ABC landed one of the biggest stories of the year

So who else could they have honored instead of a senior citizen kinda sort of sex change dudette?

After all, this was supposed to be an award for courage tied to sports. Wasn't it? Bruce Jenner was a sports figure but Bruce isn't Bruce anymore.

There are a lot of combat wounded amputee veterans all over the country involved in sports. Their bodies were not altered by choice. They were altered by bombs and bullets. They didn't put themselves first. They said they would risk their lives for someone else, putting everyone else first.

Was it "brave" for Jenner to do what he/she did? Debateable. Some say it was downright self-serving while others say it gives people courage to be who they are. If that is the case then the LGBT community should have give Jenner an award and not ESPN. This wasn't about sports. It was about a PR disaster and ratings.
