An Inspirational Night At The ESPYs.
BARNETT: We have exciting news for fans of Disney theme parks. You see Disney revealed the design for its Shanghai Disneyland scheduled to open next spring.</s>CHURCH: Officials say the new park will feature six themed lands filled with rides, shows and everything else fans have come to expect in a Disney park. Shanghai Disneyland will feature the first mandarin version of the musical "The Lion King" the last Disneyland opening was a decade ago in Hong Kong.</s>BARNETT: Now golf's third major of the year, the Open Championship is underway at St. Andrews golf course in Scotland and all eyes are on American Jordan Spieth.</s>CHURCH: Yes, he is aiming to be the second player in history to win three majors, including the Masters and the U.S. Open in a calendar year. That hasn't been done since Ben Hogan back in 1953. He tees off in less than an hour.</s>BARNETT: Good luck to him. And you will surely see a lot of this on social media in the next day. An emotional and tearful moment for one of the most famed U.S. Olympians of all time at the ESPY Awards.</s>CHURCH: Yes, gold medalist, Caitlyn Jenner, received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage Thursday night. In her first speech since identifying as transgender, Jenner called for respect and said that the world needs to accept people for who they are.</s>CAITLYN JENNER, ARTHUR ASHE FOR COURAGE AWARDEE: So for the people out there wondering what this is all about, whether it's about courage or controversy or publicity, I'll tell you what it's all about, it's about what happens from here. It's not just about one person. It's about thousands of people. It's not just about me. It's about all of us accepting one another. We're all different. That's not a bad thing. That's a good thing.</s>BARNETT: Now Caitlyn Jenner's speech was one of many highlights from the ESPY's. CNN's Stephanie Elam looks back at a night filled with inspirational and emotional moments.</s>STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The 2015 ESPYs were heartbreaking while at the same time inspiring, and a lot of it had to do with what athletes were dealing with outside of the world of sport. There was Danielle Green, the former basketball player turned war hero who lost her arm in battle and came home to work with other veterans. She won the Pat Tillman award. There was also Lauren Hill, the young basketball player who wanted to play her first basketball game. She lost her battle to cancer. Her parents accept that award on her behalf. And then there was also Caitlyn Jenner, the one person people were really looking to see and she took her time at the spotlight to focus on issues in the transgender community as she knew that she has a place to do it with her fame and with the safety of her protected bubble that so many young people she says don't have the same luxury.</s>JENNER: If someone wanted to bully me, I was the MVP of the football team. That was not a problem and the same things goes tonight. If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is I can take it. But for the thousands of kids out there coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it.</s>ELAM: Several of Jenner's children were in the audience and a couple of them got emotional. She got emotional as she talked about not wanting to let down her family with the decision to come out as a transgender person. There were a lot of people we spoke to who for the most part showed support for Caitlyn Jenner, not just in general, but also receiving this Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. A lot of people felt like this was a worthy reason to honor somebody who became the world's greatest athlete in the 1976 Olympics when Bruce Jenner won the decathlon. But you saw on Twitter some people were not thrilled about it. But at the end of her speech, inside of that live broadcast, she did get a standing ovation. Stephanie Elam, CNN, Los Angeles.</s>CHURCH: It was certainly a very powerful and inspirational speech.</s>BARNETT: There was some backlash online, but that's just proves there is a long way to go in raising awareness.
