Prince Harry has been picked to be awarded the prestigious Pat Tillman Award at ESPY in Hollywood. ESPN, the broadcaster of the event, stated that the British royal is being recognized for his extensive efforts in using sports to benefit the veteran community, notably through his Invictus Games. However, the decision sparked controversy, with Tillman’s mother arguing that there are more deserving recipients with fewer ‘privileges’, as reported by the Mirror.
The award is intended for those who have served others in a manner that upholds Tillman’s legacy. As such, the soldier’s mother expressed disappointment, stating that she was not consulted about the decision. She said, « I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award. There are recipients.far more fitting.individuals working in the veteran community who are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.
