Actor/producers Peter Berg slams Caitlyn Jenner's 'Courage Award'

"Friday Night Lights" director Peter Berg isn't happy with all the praise being heaped on Caitlyn Jenner -- and is now mocking everyone from ESPN to President Obama for honoring her ... instead of military vets. 
Berg who also produces and co-stars in "Ballers" -- reposted a crass meme to Instagram following the ESPYs which compares a double amputee military vet to Caitlyn. Berg co-signed on the meme with a simple comment -- "Yup."
Berg wasn't the only star to express outrage over Jenner getting the award -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry tweeted, "What exactly is 'COURAGE' these days?" 
He was retweeted by NFL linebacker Sio Moore.
So, how is ESPN handling the criticism? Michelle Beadle summed it up this way:
"This rage over an arbitrary award is silly. Courage and bravery come in many forms and faces. I welcome progress for everyone. #BeYou." - TMZ

America will find the silliest excuses for silly things and find a way to make you feel guilty about your stance! What is courageous about what Bruce Jenner did?

The choice of dis 'woman' over a double amputee vet who didn't let disability keep him down typifies everything that's wrong with AMERICA.

Courage has now become a full grown man with children from two marriages waking up one morning and deciding oh i don't like being a man anymore, so I can just do a couple of surgeries and become. Why not? Uwa wara wara

Like seriously, Caityln is not the first transgender even if they deem it as courage. Why the award?

The same Barack Obama wouldn't let his kids watch the Kardashan show,people can be real hypocrite, what exactly really is courage?, I don't see any of this world leaders campaigning desperately for same sex marriages and all, allowing their kids to follow same.....

Shameless man/woman.

Alero said...

Just imagine!! What the world is turning in to... afterall He/she is not the first trangender... So wats the fuss abt his/her own... Abi linda you no dey show us hot chics wey be men before for this your blog before Caitlyn or bruce did his/her own transformation ?.. So whats special about her/his dat she/he was giving an award for?? Is it because she/he did it at old age??.. People have been doing it even before now and some had to put up with the stigma that comes along with it and those people paved the way for her/him.. So I dont see why him/her shud be given an award When people are given up there life and fighting so she/he and her/his family can live peacefully... reality is still a dream!!

Unknown said...

I'm sorry what Bruce jenner did is not courage it is called cowardness.... hiding under the skirt of caitlyn and calling that courage...plz the more some pple hype this abomination the more it becomes redicule...how do u explain to a 5yr school kid that what he did was courageous? What positive impact will it have on the lives of future generations? Bullshit

HMMMMMMM! Free Born! in as much as i appreciate your comment on issues, i think you should try and have a rethink about issues before you start typing. Even if u are not gunning for anything in life as i can see. am sure will have children one day. Anything can happen on the social media. Please as a brother that is concern i wish you try not to comment on anything if you dont read well or u dont have anything to type. I am an unlikely commentator here but am sooooo bordered that a Nigerian youth can be thinking as u are. Please grow up and be a good man and not be a Negative person. Back to your comment on this, clearly there is not hate in the statement the man made. Just a wonderful opinion and if u feel he is wrong by stating that then give us reasons. May your leg never get broken. Am touched cos i got my leg broken but God healed me. I dont know your age but please grow up and be sensitive, pleas
