L. Hughley thinks Caitlyn Jenner "looks like every P.E. teacher I ever had," and says she wouldn't have been his choice to receive the ESPYs' Arthur Ashe Courage Award simply because she "put on a dress.".

But he doesn't consider that bashing.


"I think that it's named after Arthur Ashe," the comic said of the award, speaking to a TMZ videographer Thursday on a New York Street. "Arthur Ashe from Richmond, Virginia, a symbol of courage. He fought segregated South, a very segregated profession, he fought AIDS with dignity and honor, and Caitlyn Jenner put on a dress. I don't think it's the same thing."

end of quote

This is hateful and disgusting. He should know better.

1. He sounds kind of ignorant

Fortunately, there's a cure for that . . .

3. Nasty transphobia.

I am personally not all that surprised.

4. The Ashe family was involved in the decision.

If they had had problems with it, the selection would not have been made. His widow and daughter would not allow the award to be given to someone they thought was unworthy.

I suggest Hughley think about that. That goes for all the other people saying nasty things about who the award was given too. It's an insult to Ashe's family.
