ESPN Responds to Backlash for Giving ESPY Award to Prince Harry | THR News Video

ESPN is addressing criticism over Prince Harry's upcoming honor during The ESPY Awards.

The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYS for his work with The Invictus Games Foundation.

The Pat Tillman Award for Service honors someone who has used their connection to the sports world to positively impact the lives of others and was named in honor of late NFL star and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman, who died during combat in 2004.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Tillman's mother was shocked by ESPN's choice to honor Harry.
