Pat Tillman’s Mother Has Unsurprising Reaction To ESPN Honoring Prince Harry With Her Son’s Award

The Duke of Suss3x is set to be handed said awardthis month, but Tillman’s mother reckons there are others who are more deserving.

Mary spoke to the Daily Mail in a recent interview, revealing she and her family were not consulted ahead of what she described as a shocking choice.

“I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” she told the publication. “There are recipients that are far more fitting. There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.

“These individuals do not have the money, resources, connections or privilege that Prince Harry has. I feel that those types of individuals should be recognized.”

The Prince will be handed the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPYs on July 11.

The award is presented to someone with “a strong connection to sports who has served others in a way that echoes the legacy of the former NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman.”
