The newly minted Caitlyn Jenner, who won Olympic gold in her previous life as Bruce Jenner, is ecstatic ESPN has chosen to award her its annual Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at next months' ESPY awards.
"What the [heck] am I going to wear," she tweets.
Not everyone is over the moon. Social media was afire Wednesday with complaints from sports fans who insist the award rightfully belongs to Mount St. Joseph University basketball player Lauren Hill, who continued playing while battling brain cancer.

Another Hill fan, Tom Cruise's son Connor, writes, "Ashton [Kutcher] is gonna come out and yell PUNK'D."
