Despite the fact that
Matthew Umhofer, the Opperman Foundation’s president, told The Washington Post that “the RBG Award celebrates the achievements of individuals in their chosen fields without regard to politics.”
looking at who the committee has chosen indicates, at least to me, a feeling that the committee has lost its way and needs to rethink both the award and its namesake. As always, YMMV.

I’m reminded of the documentary “Art of the Steal” (NOT the identically titled Kurt Russell movie) about the breaking of the Barnes Foundation trust and the futility of trying to control your “legacy” post mortem.
As the one quote goes, “We’ll just wait until everybody’s dead and then we’ll do what we want”…

Ok, what terrible thing has Sylvester Stallone done that I haven’t heard of?
Rumor has it he’s going to be a future Harvey Weinstein someday when he’s no longer too powerful in Hollywood to do anything about…

No.
He’s going to continue to grow more outrageous for the next 8 months (and beyond, whether he wins or loses). I’m aware that he and his supporters are dangerous, and I plan to be ready. But I don’t need to know every cockamamie thing he says, it’s a waste of a good life.
