    Show me the outrage from past ESPY winners.

    I think "outrage" is a big strong there. Perhaps "exhaustion" would be more appropriate.

    You should spend more time on social media. "Outrage" is pretty spot-on.

    And, of course, "outrage" is always greatest when it has no basis in actual reality.

    Pretty good. The titty-fuck line is very funny.

    Social media went nuts on the actor who said, "I'm still going to call you Bruce."

    I'm guessing a lot of people are keeping their true feelings to themselves on this one.

    Excited to hear so many people care about the ESPYs! I'll pass it along.

    I'm sure you are right. I'm on no social media, and that kind of "outrage" is part of the reason. I was basing my comments mostly on our discussion on this thread, that those of us here criticizing the award are in no way outraged by it. For me, it elicits more of an eye roll than actual anger.

    That said, people on social media, at least in my limited experience, have always gotten unreasonably upset about who wins what is ultimately a meaningless award. Perhaps never an ESPY, although I know some who were pissed that Tiger Woods once won best male athlete one year over an undefeated college and Olympic wreslter. Cael Sanderson, maybe? I can't recall.

    No one should ever spend more time on social media. 85-percent of the world is out earning a living and the other 15-percent is on Twitter. It's a playground for the cocksuckers.

    There's a mental image that will require a drill to get out of my skull.

    So-called tough guys seem to have the thinnest skin, i.e. those involved in military, policing, or wrestling. They and their sycophants drive a heavy percentage of social media outrage.

    Right. I'm here enough. The last thing I need is to be here and trolling comments of Twitter simpletons as well.
