Post a price list for the awards so that grifters from across the globe can vie for them.
ESPN you are truly disgusting and should know better. This is an American award for a worthy American recipient, not an idiot like Harry who ran away from responsibility and duty, threw his family under the bus and then proceeded to play victim with his narcissistic wife.
Disgusting, using his mother death as a comparison for pat tillman and his mom? The same women who said you were undeserving of her sons award. He should have kept her name out of his mouth
Harry is an absolute disgrace and has tarnished this award. He and his awful wife have taken so much funding towards their own expenses ie her ridiculous outfits, and made the games all about themselves and not the veterans. Invictus has been losing both money and athletes since the Meg arrived. A joke that he was allowed to buy this award. Pat Tillman was a TRUE hero and inspiration. Harry is just a spoiled, entitled, angry, and pathetic little man.
Congratulations Harry!
The depression and suicide rates of combat veterans is another tragedy of war that often goes unnoticed. Your recognition of the very real struggles of wounded veterans and your efforts to help them is commendable. Keep up the good work on behalf of those who gave so much of themselves.
Real royals give awards not accept them. He should have given the award TO the veterans not receive it from the veterans. Was this another pay for play award to boost his ego and brand 🤔.
Harry and Meghan the ratings ESPN were thru the roof coz the whole world wanted to see the work that u do … Harry your powerful and heartfelt speech broke the internet.,, u are an undeniable force and good for u for leaving all the toxicity behind and choosing to help and uplift others and shine a light through all your philanthropic work..the world is a better place with u both in it … may God protect u and your family…as young people we look to u…. ❤
Meghan u said yes to the People’s Prince … Harry is the good son of Diana … he cares so much about others ..he’s compassionate, empathetic, loving , authentic and selfless ..I can’t say that about any of your family members, they treat u like garbage, sell u out to the tabloids to disparage you , your wife and children…they are sick people they are a shame …your mother Diana is proud of u the Spencer family loves u that’s all u need ❤❤❤❤
ESPN…what a load of crap. Pathetic self serving manipulative gaslighting by a narcissistic lazy entitled Harry. They had the nerve to leave after receiving the award and disrupting the flow of the show. Low class and shameful.
Giving a Latin "lesson" was patronizing.
Also, it wasnt just me, right? The woman in white did not want to hug him and looks pissed 😂 Im here for it
May The Good LORD 🙏Bless and Keep and Protect The Sussexes and 2024 ESPYS Pat Tillman Award for Service from all Evil💥🗽🤝🙏✌👀💐👏I raised well from an early age by both my parents with these words: Whoever does Good, Meets with Good, this was beautifully written on a porcelain wall sign in our home👍🌹🥀⛪🌻🌷👏
Why they keep saying winning the award why not just say bought the award because that the reality😂
He didn't mention the Royal Foundation, his family, the British government and the Paralympic team who helped him. Didn't mention the members of the IG Foundation or the CEOs. And he only mentioned Pat Tillman's mom just to rival with his own loss, because his sorrow always has to be more important and painful than other people's grief.
Harry arriving late, staying just long enough to collect his gong (award) and then leaving straight afterwards says far more than anything he uttered in this speech.
And what was he doing telling/ ordering the three veterans to stay on stage with him, yet doesn’t even mention them in his speech.
Finally, Royals are meant to give awards, not collect them
They had to retrain meGain otherwise she would have grabbed the mic 😂😂😂
A beautiful speech. Congrats!
You should be ashamed of yourselves for giving the award to someone who didn’t deserve even to hold that award never mind receiving it. 🇬🇧❤️
Harry shouldn’t have accepted award what a complete hypocrite.
You guys let down Pat Tillman’s mother and did her wrong.. she was 100% right. If Pat knew his mother was ignored like this, then to gaslight her while accepting the award in his name..? This would break his heart. You guys allowed this!! But now we know how this organization operates. 250k “donation” made this possible. Money and greed, it’s not about real heroes.
yuck
Disgusted that he accepted this he does not deserve this and does NOT respect Mary Tilman otherwise he would have declined. He is all about publicity and recognition for himself and megain
The speed she stood up to make sure she was in camera!
To bring such s glorious and prestigious award into such disrespect. Disgraceful. Harry is a Doofus but ESON to try and profit from this egregious debasement is unfortunately par for the course fir a Woke Disney Group company
Mary Tillman, I am so, so sorry your hero son’s legacy has been trashed by these clowns in suits
Hazbeen & the claw are disgusting individuals 😮
Disgusting disgraceful abhorant
Disgusted by this disgraceful to all involved in allowing Harry to accept the award
@espn you should be ashamed of yourselves. Why are you awarding a shameless and disgusting man with an award that he does not deserve? Shame you are too dumb and ignorant to know any better
Shame on you.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
As a Brit I’m sick of TO and TOW, his lies and disrespect for everything our monarchy and people!
They’re grifting and piggybacking off everything for their own financial gain!
Shame on you ESPN and these 2!!
#Bunker harry most UNDESERVING recipient
😂😂😂😂This is hilarious. A capital BOOOOOO for you!
Creepy
They couldn't find a worthy American??? Or did this one pay the right amount?
Did Harry and his wife leave after Harry received this (bought) award without watching the rest of the ceremony??
He’s not the founder of the Invictus Games, he only promotes them and claims expenses when he does. Instead of donating money, he takes it, instead of doing any work for the IG he uses them for his own PR. This award is proof. I lost all respect for self-centred Harry. He fought with the late Queen over the word ‘service’ saying he would lead a life of service. He has no idea what service to people means. He only cares about his own feelings.
Word salad!!!
The elites are trying to sell us lies like they try to sell us breakfast cereal. If Mikey likes it it has to be good. We don’t believe you ESPN, Disney and Serena Williams. It is time to Boycott these people and corporations. You can sell us cereal but stop selling us your ideologies! Harry’s face doesn’t belong on a Wheaties box!
#PrinceWilliam GIVE PERSONALLY THE AWARD TO ROB BURROW as a recognized veteran he give RESPECT AND HONOR, while HARRY STOLE PAT TILLMAN Dignity, honor and Pride..
What a gracious and kind speech. He has done meaningful work than most members of the royal family. I think there’s a lot of jealousy instead of respect and compassion for his achievements. He’s supposed to be the spare but he has done the work of a king. Keep up the good work Prince Harry, ignore the envious people who don’t deserve your attention.
The Henry Windsor Stolen Valor Award 🚹
What about the people affected by African Parks Harry? You left them behind.
