But now some are crying foul over ESPN’s decision to choose Jenner, 65, instead of Mount St. Joseph basketball player Lauren Hill, who courageously battled brain cancer while staying on the university team. The 19-year-old lost her fight against cancer on April 10.
Several fans took to twitter to vent their frustration.
But Hill wasn't the only overlooked candidate people were made about. Iraq veteran Noah Galloway, who lost most of an arm and a leg fighting, but still competes in extreme sports and almost won this season's "Dancing With the Stars," also had hundreds of tweets from fans irate over Jenner's choice.
ESPN would only say of their decision-making process that “many people are discussed every year,” and that "there is no such thing as a runner-up."
They also provided a written statement which said Jenner was chosen "to help move forward a constructive dialogue about progress and acceptance."

Smh
The world has gone mad..
Seen
Dont these people have any shame?? You have spent 60 something years with a penis and screwing women, and all of a sudden you decided you want to be the one on the other end receiving the penis. Useless people.
Lol
Trust the westerners for their undying support for gays n Transgenders
Bruce may turn out to b more of a drama queen dan the kardeshians in no tym... #bloodstains
Can u imagine dis crazy decion made frm them but dis is really bad, and not encouraging choosing someone dat change his personality over one dat scale thru cancer.
God help, and save us.
Ad diz he/She Became Hot cake ad talk of town @d end ....
*The Hustle for Fame is Real Mehnn*
Jenners courage 4 gini? For coming out as a transgender at 65? HmMmmmmm, nawa ooo......I make bold 2 say Jenner is non deserving of dat award!!
Everyday strange stories.. odi egwu
Hmmmmm. Reason behind this Bruce's transition is yet to be known. Cos I doubt its cos he wanted to be a woman, there's more to it than that.
#ITwillONLYgetBETTER
#itMUSTendINpraise
Imagine the comparison
Esu ti gbajoba. Guard your grill. Americans have lost it.
Rather disappointing!
Am wit dem jare cum on dy are jt shoving ds transgender tin in our face ooooo.
It is a shame
Deluded society! what Jenner did was for himself ... these others did for selfless service to humanity ...there's huge difference. Media be givin attention to irrelevancy
Speechless
Noted
Nonsense. The other two believed in themselves. Bruce has low self esteem that's why he is now a woman. Shior to ESPN
Rubbish.
Now he's being awarded for courage? is transexualism supposed to be a sport? what does ESPN stand for? a lot of people's reasoning is getting so warped by the day.this is definitely not ordinary. there's obviously an agenda behind all this.
Everything is for Caitlyn this year o lol
the smellof MALESHE is making wave with her foolishness , o ga o
Fuck this world and all its fucking award.
So a fucking man won an award for switching his looks to a woman. Physically, he looks like a woman but the foolish motherfucker knows he is a fucking gay assed dude.
-LORD PHIL
This is so unfair! This is the fame he/she wanted. He/she (Bruce/Cait) will soon be stripped of the medals he won, when he contested as male in the Olympics. This is due to the statements he/she made of being a woman in a male body all his life! Lol
People celebrate evil now... The bible said it. "iniquity shall abound and d love of many shall wax cold".... How can u term wat Bruce did as "courageous"... Crazy Americans
That's how the world will start disregarding meaningfull things and focus on stupid irrelevant things...
So funny I knew the caityln Jenner is looking for attention. They should leave him to enjoy all the covers of the magazine that's all it will only last a year before I guess depression sets in.
Caitilyn is here to stay I guess
This is Bullshit
Revoke Caitlyn Jenner's Olympic Medals-Thousands sign Online Petition against the star.
"It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman.
We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best.
"However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men’s sports and vice versa."
bullshit!
oju aiye....Bruce winning is better publicity...
Nawaa oooo
Rubbish..madness
This is bull shit, why give it to Jenner. There was a time when this award went to guys like Pat Tillman, who gave up his chance at fortune and fame to sacrifice his life on the battlefield, but the honour devolved quickly from there. I thought it hit the basement last year when they handed it to former third string NFL player Michael Sam for achieving the remarkable feat of being gay while playing a game.
@linda is it ESPY or ESPN
This ESPN just want sales, they don't care about anything. What is courageous about Bruce abi whatever.
Dis man transition don dey fetch am money o.#isokay
Jenner d great... lmao
The world has enthroned narcissism over hardwork and true courage.So sad.
theplushist.com say so
If he was a celebrity I doubt anyone would have cared. And in my opinion they are other people more wonder of that award than Jenner. Hell he's not even worth it, all he did was buy a B cup breast, make professionals do his hair and makeup, get paid to appear on d cover of vanity fair like a model and he's also got his stupid docuseries. Which he's also making money off. Everything he does is for money and attention, unlike d true courageous and inspiring lesser know people out there. Bruce is just a drag in a dress no matter what he chops off or buys off the surgeon's shelf. And maybe u can buy some XX chromosomes,womb,ovaries and eggs while he's there and mayb then I might start taking him seriously. God made man and woman and put serious work into making each sex special. So chopping off Ur di*k, wearin silicon in Ur breast and wearing makeup doesn't make u anything more dan a phony and a circus joke. #rantover #weshouldnotletthemediaforceeviluponustoaccept
Gaskiya the world has gone crazy
I need to understand what is courageous about being a Tranny. This show how debased the whites are. Sense of divinity thrown to the dogs.
This judges are blind...bruce doesn't deserve nothing ***far too kind***

Should a transgeneder be celebrated as courageous over these brave hearts...obvious its not only in Nigeria that abnormality is celebrated. Mtcshewww, lindodo post my comment o
WTF?!! So this is heroic? becoming a woman is now the nu black? Really? Michael Jackson did surgery and everyone almost crucified him and now Bruce Jenner is seem as a hero an courageous? Pls miss me with that bullshit! That girl Lauren Hill should have been chosen for that award. That this fucked up society we live in.
Dis is just d beginning....#rubbish#
What a silly decision!
Dis shit irritates me more by d day, can't deal
Some bullshit! Whites and their negative agendas!! if you don't accept their negative opinions or reason with them on issues like Bruce turning himself into a woman, they will call you closed minded! that's bullshit! God doesn't make mistakes! God created everybody the way they are. This Kardashian/Jenner clan will stop at nothing to remain in the limelight!! BULLSHIT!!!
This Jenner business smells like a conspiracy with every passing day. Now I understand why some quickly screamed ILLUMINATI when this all started.
Mad people.

Help me ask them o!
Mcheeeeeeew! D hype is so so annoying. Linda take note!
America wants to promote same sex compilations and would do anything to force it down the throats of the world! All these are ways they want to use to continue to make it relevant in our consciousness. Western consumerism is what would be the end of the world.
I love my county......
#stillrootedinournormsandcultire#
Up9ja abeg...
Evil everywhere..
I love my country...
Most sensible comment ever!!!!
See wat d society is encouraging
I totally agree that the world is going crazy more than we can ever imagine. They must impose the new way of life to the world at all cost and means. Gradually tramping morals under feet. Cunningly convincing the world that wrong is right.
People should open their eyes and be wise. Don't be blown away with the strange wind.
Someone sent me this site: www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/
Na wa wa
god help us. we should ban . the jenners, kardashians, and this stupid award. cut them off . stop watching there shows. stop giving them attention and they will cancel there show,s. America has become a joke. I,am starting to feel like it,s really hard to be proud to be American , this world , god help us all
Folks need to stop. He is courageous. Folks have died doing this. He is so public with it. Its a risk. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
