Here are a couple of folks who apparently were not considered as worthy.
Lauren Hill, the 19-year-old Mount St. Joseph basketball player who courageously battled brain cancer while staying on the university team didn't get squat. She lost her fight against cancer on April 10.
MIND BOGGLING!
I'm pretty рissed off at the moment. |
I agree that there are far better choices for this award than an Olympic athlete who was on a Wheaties box who decided to change his gender after decades of anxiety and the like about his sexual identity. I kind of think this is as some said all about ratings and the ads they can get big bucks from these high ratings.
I disagree about the Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, etc. as these are usually based on the votes of other people in that same field not necessarily just the actors but all of the people who are part of these various associations.
