I'll admit it, I didn’t watch the ESPYs Wednesday night on TV. I wasn't taking a stand against it or anything like that. I just wasn't going to get off work, go straight to the living room and announce that I had something I needed to watch.
Not for the ESPYs. I'll save those announcements for football season.
Plus like many award shows these days you can catch up pretty quickly on social media if you really want to find out what's going on. Even things that aren't part of the show itself.

It was through social media and the power of algorithms that Liv Morgan at the ESPYs with her WWE Women's World Championship belt magically showed up in my feed. She had and her belt managed to go viral.
The online chatter however was focused on her outfit. I guess it's worthy of some level of attention. Others seem to think so.
If you search "Liv Morgan ESPYs," which I've done, you'll see a few headlines. Some of the headlines use words like stuns and frenzy and backless dress and even sideboob, if you know where to look.

They all paint a picture that to me suggests I may have missed out on something. But I didn’t miss it. Look at me. No correction, look at us. Here we are all caught up on the WWE Women's World Champion's viral night at the ESPYs.

Not since she left the Stranger Things Season 5 red carpet in a pile of ashes has Liv caused such a commotion on the internet at an event that wasn’t for the WWE.
There's a reason Liv Morgan was the one at the ESPYs on Wednesday night at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City with a belt in her hands.
