Courage? Outrage? Concern?

The biggest story in the sports world this week involves no games or current athletes, but rather a retired star of decades past. Let’s call him “the athlete formerly known as Bruce Jenner.”

The word I would say that has been bandied about most concerning Jenner’s decision to transgender (is that a verb?) is “courage.”

I think the word I would use is… eh.

I’m not sure exactly why, but my reaction this week has been one of, well, not much reaction. Are there just too many unusual things happening in the world for me to care about this one? Perhaps.

Remember that Jenner also claims to be some kind of political conservative. Now that takes courage.
