1) In no way, not even in any remote, minute way, is this an embarrassment to "the sport". People hardly connect him to track and field, and even those that do, he was in the outlier event of Decathlon. No one gives a crap.
2) Bruce Jenner is a REPUBLICAN. So much for tagging everything you don't understand as "liberal lunacy".
3) Why would you act so strongly to this news? Does Bruce Jenner's life affect you in any way? Do you have the opinion that married couples can decide to have 20 children or more because their religious views tell them not to use birth control? If so, why? Why is it ok to leave them alone to their extreme views and yet attack Bruce Jenner?
4) The most conservative family I know watches and loves Keeping Up with the Karsashians, and they all talk about it with fellow church goers at their very conservative and evangelical fundamentalist church.
To each his own, brother...and that's a LIBERTARIAN view, not a Liberal one.
