The decision to honor Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, an ex-Olympian decathlete once considered the greatest athlete in the world, with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, has elicited many strong, negative reactions.

Hannah Stocking, the girlfriend of Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, entered the fray and gathered some thoughts on the debate yesterday.

One of the chief arguments against Jenner is that she beat out a man named Noah Galloway, a soldier who served in Iraq and lost an arm and a leg to an IED during his service. Using a prosthetic leg, and still without an arm, Galloway has become a distance runner, personal trainer, motivational speaker and Dancing With the Stars contestant. Other detractors think that former women’s college basketball player Lauren Hill, who managed to play despite an inoperable brain tumor that eventually took her life on April 10. Few of the detractors of Jenner’s choice realize that there was no competition for the award, nor did ESPN decide to give the Ashe award to Jenner over Galloway or Hill. They simply decided to give the honor to Jenner, not create runner-ups out of Galloway or Hill. Jenner has broken the internet with her debut as a full-fledged woman on the cover of Vanity Fair in ways her stepdaughter Kim Kardashian failed to do with racy photos in Paper Magazine.

Jenner also set a Twitter record for followers in less than five hours.
