Outstanding story on Bruce Jenner

    Kardashian, Inc., employs several hundred people in LA, some of whom are my friends so far be it for me to criticize them...and by all accounts, Kris really is a crackerjack businesswoman, and, frankly, lots of people say Kim is a too.

    As for Bruce...Jones was pretty much just giving us a snapshot of Bruce's life now in this moment in time, vs. that moment in time represented by the photo on the wall. But it would be great to delve deeper in a diffferent profile into the whole plastic surgery thing. Is it true that Bruce wanted a sex change? Is it indicative of his wanting to just be someone else after the Olympic heroism went away? What made him such a bad dad to Brody and the original Jenner clans?

    A sex change?

    Kris does appear to be a good business woman, but she seems to put business success ahead of the best interests of her kids. For her, it's always about business and promotion.

    Kim just comes across as dumb. They had some event at Sears corporate offices to talk to fire up their employees about the Kardashian clothing line, sold exclusively at Sears.

    Kim was terrified to even open her mouth. Some people are uncomfortable with public speaking and such, but when your whole business is licensing your name, and doing promotions, you'd think you'd be able to do that.

    No.

    Is that why he got so much work done on his face?

    That's what started the rumor. That his face became very plastic and feminine looking.

    Whether that's the genesis or not, no one knows. But it was definitely out there.

    I worked in the same newsroom as a high-level female track athlete. She said the people in the track community absolutely thought he was preparing for a sex change.

    It's always been there but I think it's more prevalent now. Either way I do prefer stories that do not have a tinge of promotion to them

    FWIW, the Jones story is pretty dang good for that family.

    If SportsJournalists.com threads continue to go the way of this one, I'll be outta here, too. Unbelievable but then, very believable. Sadly.
