Prince Harry has been nominated for the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2022 ESPY Awards, but the decision has been met with criticism from some in the US, including sports analyst Pat McAfee
Prince Harry has come under fire in the US after being nominated for a prestigious award that some believe he doesn't deserve.
McAfee argued that Prince Harry's nomination does not fit with the award's intended purpose and questioned the selection process. "A lot of conversation about Pat Tillman's name," McAfee said. "American hero ... Now there's an award named after him, as there should be in the sports world because that is somebody who is the definition of selfless.", reports the Express.
McAfee further criticised this process, suggesting it lacked due diligence. "When you do something like this, you know the immediate reaction from humans and sports fans and like people with common sense and brains is going to be like: 'Hey, don't be putting our f---ing guy with that guy,'" McAfee said, referring to Prince Harry.
Ty Schmitt, another member of McAfee's on-air team, further criticised the ESPYS, calling the awards "a gimmick" and arguing that numerous deserving American military members were overlooked.
