Why Prince Harry’s ESPY Award Is Sparking Backlash

Prince Harry is the center of controversy after ESPN named him as the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service at this year’s upcoming ESPY Awards. The Duke of Sussex was chosen to receive the honor for his work with the Invictus Games Foundation. However, the mother of the man who the award is named after, Mary Tillman, has spoken out against the decision. “I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” she told Daily Mail. ESPN responded to the criticism in a statement saying in part, “While we understand not everyone will agree with all honorees selected for any award, the Invictus Games Foundation does incredible work, and ESPN believes this is a cause worth celebrating.”
