Prince Harry's Honorary ESPY Award Draws Backlash from Pat Tillman's Mom


ESPN’s decision to give Prince Harry the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPY Awards has drawn backlash from the late Tillman’s own mother

“I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” Pat’s mother, Mary Tillman, told the Daily Mail in an interview published on Saturday, June 29. Past recipients of the Pat Tillman Award for Service include soccer star Marcus Rashford, who helped raise millions of dollars during the COVID-19 pandemic to feed children in England, the Buffalo Bills training staff for the work they did in saving the life of Damar Hamlin and retired Army Command Sergeant Major Gretchen Evans.
