Prince Harry Reportedly 'Stunned' by Pat Tillman Award Backlash

- Prince Harry was reportedly surprised by the backlash after being nominated for the Pat Tillman award by ESPN.
The criticism intensified when Pat Tillman’s mother publicly opposed the nomination.
Prince Harry will receive the Pat Tillman award at the ESPY Sports Awards on July 11 for his work with the Invictus Games foundation.
The award honours the late NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman.
However, Pat Tillman’s mother, Mary Tillman, criticised ESPN for honouring Prince Harry, stating there were "more fitting" recipients for the award.
“I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” she told the Daily Mail.
“There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.”
ESPN said Prince Harry was being honoured for his "tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport" with his Invictus Games.
Sources told The Telegraph that criticism of Prince Harry regarding his military record and work with veterans is a "bitter pill to swallow.”
The ESPY Awards (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) are run by ESPN. The Pat Tillman Award is usually given to unsung heroes.
Last year, it was awarded to the Buffalo Bills training staff for saving a player's life on the field.

The Pat Tillman award is for unsung heroes. Harry is not a hero. The Invictus Veterans are the heroes.
Nasty beac
Great point mate.
@@PatriciaFuller-wy1wh
Wake up!!!
Yes! ONe of them could accept the award, NOT the traitor!
Amen!
Just remember, it was the BRF that created the IG. They appointed henry as patron, not a creator of the games. ESPN, get your story right.
always blaming the royal family ok

Read the comment again.
I guess at this point we shouldn't expect ESPN to get anything right.
I don’t expect ESPN to get it right.
He, in fact, created the Invictus Games. Why lie? Who sent you?...
From an American's perspective, Pat Tillman's actions proved he was an honorable, selfless, courageous, brave, heroic, patriotic, loyal, forthright man who brought honor to his country by his willing service and ultimate sacrifice. Harry, who was NEVER in danger, played games and has embarrassed his country over and over again. The two men are opposites and therefore Harry is NOT WORTHY of this honor.
Prince Harry served in Afghanistan!
@@sarahmiller5632 He did not "serve." He was protected the entire time. He never engaged in combat. He never flew an Apache; he was a gunner (no pilot's license). He became known as "Bunker Harry" because he spent most of his time playing Xbox.
@@sarahmiller5632he was in Afghanistan but that doesn’t mean he was serving.
@@sarahmiller5632😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 served? Maybe playing pong!
@@GwendaOates-kp7de He flew in missions, it was William who did not see combat.
Harry turned his back on his country for fame and fortune, where as Pat Tillman left fame and fortune to serve his country. Pat Tillman didn't run away like harry did. #boycottespn #boycottespy
Pat Tilliman actually served.
Harry hid in a bunker during his service and played on the xbox. Even slept through an attack on the base. If you also follow his time line of drug use he was on drugs as well whilst out there. Harry has no pilot licence as he couldn't pass the exams.
He couldn't even pass his own education exams without someone else doing them for him.
WELL SAID.
Pat Tillman walked away from millions in order to serve his country.
While ...
To accept the award would be an UTTER DISGRACE.
When he let his nasty wife march in front of the veterans last year, in her horribly inappropriate outfit, then he sullied the reputation of the games and disrespected the brave veterans for whom the games were created! No respect for him at all! From an American! 😡🇺🇸🇬🇧
Totally agree. Meghan marching in front of veterans in her skimpy shorts and flip flops (while Harry watched from the sidelines) was abhorrent.
That was dreadful and embarrassing that she did that with a smug grin on her face.
American here- we don’t claim her!👿
This American seconds that statement!!! 😠😠
So a mistake or something like that happening makes you all discount what he has for 10 years with others for those games and injured veteran’s . Many of you also tried to take his role in those games away also despite in the 10th anniversary of those games those there the very few gave the history of those games and the role Harry played in them, listed him among the founders . I never knew anything about these games until hearing what those founders said, ,seeing videos on UA-cam with an ever present Harry for 10yrs. way before marrying Meghan. He still gets in that ground despite titles playing soccer and more with those injured veterans, he visits other ones still in the hospitals,children who lost their parent in the war. You let your gossip British Press who ran with this story until finally Mary lashed on or they had her too ,go on about Meghan in Nigeria ,attacks on her. Meanwhile this man was doing as usual visiting wounded soldiers, playing with veterans on the ground regardless of his titles. He was not thought lawn and tea Party while the anniversary of the games event took place in the UK, was not honoring and giving military medals to William who did not deserve them. Notice none of you said anything about this, even though it took place in front of servicemen standing at attention,one of them not giving this . He was nit in Afghanistan,he never flew an Apache ,did 2 terms ,received medals he was entitled too. You all remained silent about his father disrespecting those in the military even one his own child, not even inviting veterans to what of his and Williams get together’s,tea and lawn party .Yes these same evil British Press.love finding the Mary’s so even before they even did it getting those who work with the games to attack him knowing they were not there from the beginning nor knowing those founders he too is listed among by them.
Harry is NO HERO!
I bet you fancy him 🫵🏻🥰 and would drop your draws 🩲 for him
You keep him we don't won't the pig here thank you h a mm
Why not??? 😮🙄
@@Nanny-Camillahaha hilarious
I do not know how he’s got the gall to actually go up on a stage and accept this award after what Mary Tillman said in her protest to him receiving this PAID FOR award … Harry disgusts me.
Any narcissist would
@@debralittle1341yep ..and no DECENT person would .. he makes me sick, so does that evil entity he married 😏.
Why should he be stunned, he is no hero, has done nothing of importance and betrayed his country, family, doesn’t deserve anything, an embarrassment, shame on him and ESPN.
He served in 2 tours in Afghanistan, and flew in many combat missions.
@@thelight5384'served' is playing fast & loose with the truth. He was there but protected by everyone else.
@@thelight5384he spent his combat tours in a bunker playing on an xbox. He has no licence to fly as he couldn't pass the exam. He even slept through an attack on his base. He is no hero and he couldn't give a flying fig about the military or the vets. He threw a hissy fit when told no to third tour due to putting fellow soldiers at too greater risk (which he didn't care about) and quit instead of finding out how else he could serve. Oh he was happy then to go to the UK press and cry at how horrible the army was to say no to him.
He ditched an anniversary memorial for fallen Royal Marines that he was supposed to attend instead he attended the Disney premier of Lion King to tout his wife to the director.
Harry is a disgrace.
@@missc4079 Let me see I am supposed to believe your made-up story or the official website for the British military and his commanding officer. I think I will believe them over you especially if you get your news from the UK press which is garbage.
¡YOU TOO, WITH HIS HATE!. DO YOU KNOW HIM, PERSONALLY?@@missc4079
Harry’s ruined Invictus for vets. Ruined awards for real hero’s WHATS NEXT?????,
He becomes President of the US.
@@JassLJnot an American
@kathygoulden2925 he won this award that was supposed to be for an American Veteran what's stopping him from being President of the US?
He hasn’t done anything or even served with the US military! Most undeserving non american to receive an American based award.😢
Wrong! He trained with the US Rangers mate.
He still never served in the US military.
Why not give it to the Warrior Games?
@@ralphowens8346 as a former military wife and a military mom i take offense at that comment! “Training” and serving are two completely different things! My daughter “trained” with german military while she was airborne, does that now make her a german military personnel subject to their awards?! I think not.
@@ralphowens8346Training isn't serving.
He isn't a US Citizen and yes, he is a Veteran of the British military. He and his brother both served their country well.
One can scarcely imagine a woman less suited to royal life than Meghan Markle. This gig requires a certain humility and a sense of duty -- you fold yourself into a 1,000 year-old institution . . . You do not vainly attempt to bend it to your capricious will. MM: I'm going to change and diversify the monarchy! What nonsense.
In other words, make money from it.
I positively loathe Harry and that feculent termagant he married. I will never forgiver their abysmal treatment of HLMTQ and the late PP during their ailing end of days. Nor will I ever overlook their betrayal of, and malevolent infliction of pain and distress upon KC, QC, and the P&P of Wales.
Very well said
Said the racist.
@@user-yi5eh1ki4btry to but is failing at that as well
I did not know you could win an award for staying in your tent playing video games. This is where “Bunker Harry” came from. I’m with Pat Tillman’s mother.
Me took
Harry not a hero ! He is privileged! Don’t deserve Pat Tillman Award . Disgraced!
Privileged? You're upset because you weren't born into a royal family? "Thou shalt not covet!" HE WAS ENDANGERED FLYING MILITARY MISSIONS IN AFGHANISTAN!
Him being stunned is proof of his lack of self awareness.
STUNNED?
@@jonte8376 That was the description in the title of this clip. I’m using their language.
I have no respect for him. Nore should anyone else. Even if you have troubles with in you're family especially his family keep it private. now he doesn't like the backlash do us a favour harry and jog on
No doubt he's stunned. He's been stunned and clueless for quite some time.
Harry will walk across the stage to receive his “tainted” award, knowing thousands of people have signed a petition saying he doesn’t deserve this award. His wife will walk across the stage with him for her “look at me” moment. The Invictus Games is now being called “The Meghan Markle Fashion Show”, while he has been called “Bunker Harry”. Why is that Harry?
Great post!
I’m proud to have signed that petition. Too bad ESPN is too shortsighted to acknowledge the opinion of Mrs. Tillman and the many thousands who signed the petition. They will find out when people discontinue their paid subscriptions.
Yes but afterwards he'll be counting his $$$ and feeling safer w his USA VIsa. Why wouldn't they give it to USA warriors games, oh yeah, moving $$$.
Tells you how out of touch with reality H has become. Living the imaginary life created by his wife made him so isolated from the world.
Pat Tillman is rolling in his grave at the disrespect of ESPN and Harry.
and no doubt the atrocities committed by his wife. Ck out the Tillman Foundation and their buddies - an eye opener.
His widow and his brother are the ones who believes that Harry deserves this reward...
@@JassLJhis mother dose’nt thought
@@jeanettegrewal355 ???
He should be embarrassed , mortified, and Absolutely ASHAMED!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
By buying this award they have wiped out the awards worth and wiped out hero Pat and his family. But we know how those two demon s treat family
He has to have been living under a rock to not realize this while thing's a bad idea!
He needs to do the right thing . And turn it down.
And tell his wife to stop buy all these awards.
Harry will never understand why his popularity has dropped to a single digit.
If the award is for unsung hero’s….it doesn’t apply to Harry. Or is this just his ongoing obsession with notoriety. .
We USED to give awards for honesty, BRAVERY and most important INTEGRITY! Harry falls sort in all categories.
It all started when every kid who participated in any sport got an award. Not the winner, all of them.
@@user-hf1pg2ey6l Harry still living the loser kid life.🤣🤣🤣🤣
PH really lives in his own bubble if he can’t understand WHY this backlash exists.
Legend in his own mind
Seems the major backlash is what he hoped for - more reason for total tax paid security.
If accomplished, his family will forever travel the world in style.
This seems his main aim, being ridiculous so more of the masses swarm against his antics.
Ugh.
Bunker Harry doesn't deserve this award. he isn't American even, and Being a prince isn't anything to do with an American hero who sacrificed his life for his country. This guy is best known for throwing his entire family , including his incredible grandmother and grandfather, aside for a dubious ( to put it lightly) woman.
Exactly. He didn't visit his ill grandparents in their last years. He spent less than an hour with his dad when King Charles got diagnosed with cancer. Harry is merely a figurehead for the Invictus Games - other people do all the work, he just walks around during events with his lazy, money hungry wife. He does not deserve any award from the USA, as other comments have noted. He's a disgrace to his family, the UK, and the USA.
Who paid ESPN to give this to the Duke of Sussex? Hmmmm?
His wife may have paid ESPN . She pulls all of his strings, doesn't she. All for money and fame, and been seen.
This award is insulting to Americans because it is founded on an American hero, not a foreign prince no matter who he is. Harry's military career was very short, and it insults the many unsung servicemen who did heroic deeds and contributed to their country. What has Harry contributed to the UK or US? Nada.
ANYONE who has done an ounce of good for the veterans... would be a better candidate .... than Mr. Spoiled brat ('wants his own way'-yet expects the $ to keep flowing from RF)... despicable choice!
Given to unsung heroes...well definitely going to the wrong boy...he sings his own praises and is definitely no hero...he should be ashamed of himself if hee actually takes that award...oh wait, what am I saying...if he cowtows to that thing he's married to, and lets her accept the award on his behalf🤨🤦♀️
Shame on him.
Harry was a toy soldier. Protected. Bunker Harry.
I'm not surprised he's stunned regarding the outcry and back lash ..He is so self entitled he really expected people to be gushing over him getting the award ! ... Neither he nor Meghan have an ounce of humility in them .. They think they are so special and entitled .... Normal people would not have felt they were worthy , but they just have to have EVERYTHING .. yet they are most unworthy ... He should feel ashamed not shocked and stunned by the outcry ... Despicable ... The Royal family must feel so ashamed of him ..
What heroic act has he engaged in?
Is this what he's blowing his money on? Granting himself undeserved awards in order to appear more important and honorable than he is?
He already got an award for something to do with being a pilot when he never even completed training to be a pilot. He failed miserably at it.
Why is he being lauded as a hero when he's done absolutely nothing to deserve it?
Harry does nothing for the invictus games but shows up I’m willing to bet he doesn’t send out flyers or make phone calls.
lol at anyone who thought he was popular in America. We can't stand him or his wife.
Agree ! Both are rarely talked or read about here in the US - sometimes seen on the cover of a cheap tabloid at the grocery store checkout line , which we all know is fake news . 😂
@@cynthiajohnston424We all consider them as perfect joke material I'm hoping South Park makes another episode😂
Totally agree - why should the value of this great award be diminished by giving it to HIM. Pat Tillman was everything that Harry isn't. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
Having Harry as a recipient of the award has forever tarnished the Pat Tillman Award. He is just trying to increase his profile on it's 10 yr anniversary. The concept of the Invictus Games games was stolen from the Warrior Games. Americans should be honoring the Warrior Games instead.
I understand that the Warriers are not associated with Pa's foundation for obvious reasons.
Harry left his career in the BRF and enlisted in Netflix. Exactly the same honor and courage as Pat Tillman???
🎯🎯🎯
Apparently not stunned enough…
He's stunned by the backlash? Exactly what good work has he done to deserve it? Good gosh, the arrogance and entitlement of Harry! He's still clueless isn't he, thinking his mere presence and him riding the coattails of the royal family HE quit, is enough for him to buy awards. I fully agree with Pat Tillman's mother, in that there are thousands more people doing actual work for veterans, who deserve this award over the traitorous, red-headed prince. What a fool, and ESPN is idiotic in even entertaining Harry's nomination.
I agree he should NOT get the award. It’s not his invictus anyway. It’s the veterans they are who make them what they are.
Yeah! Stunned that Harry calls the American constitution bonkers yet accepts award from a vet who fought for the American constitution…wried
Harry the horrible lives to grift.
Don't know why either one of them are stunned they keep winning as the Most unliked here in Amedica!We don't like whiners that turn against family!
Harry DOESN'T deserve the award, he has NOTHING heroic.
Espy’s need people to watch so they add people like Harry in the mix to add to the hype, it has nothing to do with who is deserving of the awards
🎯🎯🎯
Maybe let vets vote instead of a committee?
I’m stunned that H is stunned..! He is NO hero and if he walks up and accepts this award he should feel so ASHAMED of himself.
Harry, we are stunned that you would be stunned. Aside from the fact that members of the Royal Family set it up for, do you honestly believe you can stand up there and accept an award for The Invictus Games which have now morphed into the Megan Markel fashion show with all expenses paid? You use to serve, now you take.
Hew may be working hard for veterans, and they may benefit from that work, but I think there are many more appropriate recipients available. Is he doing this work for compassion and understanding, or is it for the recognition it brings.
He doesn't deserve any rewards
You are right of course they gave it to him to get more publicity ,it is all about attracting attention but they could have found some one with a high profile and American
If he had any integrity he would not accept this award.
If he is stunned he should take the global feed back and grow some ethical standards!
That award should go to an American hero. Let him get an award from his country. I will not be watching that fiasco.
He turned his back on his country.

If anything, Harry should be GIVING awards, not RECEIVING them. It's his own fault that his reputation and public relations image is in the garbage given the way he has treated his family and his country. Awards will never repair the damage he and his wife have done.
Anything for the Spotlight 🙈
Harry now declining the award, as has been suggested, would most certainly not be perceived as a gracious gesture, but as reluctant capitulation over the mounting opposition to Harry having even been considered for the accolade. The time for Harry to have respectfully declined the award in favour of someone deserving, would have been when he was first selected for the award. Too little, too late.
Such a conundrum couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
@@comet1227 🤣😅😂
Well he would be even more stunned if the true amount of votes against him receiving the award were published .
Invictious was handed to him already setup. He needed something to do after military to stay out of trouble 😂
He is a spoiled brat who left his family and Country; he gets nothing
What on earth has he done to even be mentioned is a slap in the face to those deserving, ESPN must be trying to get views or something.
He killed 15 people on Call of Duty...
Pat Tillman sacrificed ALL for his country. Harry will never know that level of sacrifice, courage and bravery. I agree with Pat Tillmans mother!
Me too
Time to cancel ESPN!
This is disgusting
Tireless work ?? When?
The absolute arrogance of the man! Has he no shame?

Hazbeen is not worthy of the award - total disgrace - ESPN is out of it's mind
When he's looking and talking to the soldiers he doesn't have the warmth and sincerity William has.
He looks down on those who truly serve as being beneath him.
Look how he turned his back on a memorial for Marines so he could go stump for work for his wife with Disney.
Remember how he walked over Veteran's graves on Memorial Day for a photo op.
Look how he's mismanaging Invictus for his own benefit.
He has no concern for Veterans at all.
I’m stunned that Harry is stunned. He really is dim witted as many reports claim he is to be academically and intellectually speaking.
The petition has over 70,000 signatures at this moment.
Well he is finding out he is not as loved in the US like he thought he.
He should be more concerned and value a mother's wishes than getting another award. His mother would be so ashamed.
Whoever had the idea to do this were out of their minds!😢😢😢🤔🤔🤔
Americans love the Royal family but we love them over in the UK, don't need them coming over here to be leaders or heros we have our own.
And the Real Royals respect that and agree with you.
Harry ceased being Royal a looong time ago. A title does not a prince make. He serves nobody but himself.
Pat Tillman abandoned the pursuit of personal wealth to embrace a life of service , whereas Harry abandoned a life of service to peruse personal wealth …. All for a unknown Z list wannabe actress who never made it in acting 😂
Knock off the copy and pasting of someone else's comment just for likes. We've all seen you and Derek doing this everywhere.
Refuse to even watch this traitor.
Harry should have never been considered for this award, its all suspicious and I wouldn't be surprised if he paid for it.
Does anyone think Prince Harry will have a shred of decency, act like a Prince, and stand down to respect this grieving mothers’s wishes? Has he an iota of shame? What does he think Prince William would do?
Let's hope people boycott the awards of boo him.
Him and his Mrs really are on a different planet most of the time they never learn.
Well ding ding ding Harry
Maybe the fog is starting to clear!
I think there should be a prominent video on line telling the whole truth about the initiation of the Invictus games. How harry is only a figure head and how they thought it would give him something to concentrate on and keep him out of trouble. And the involvement of the prince of Wales and the king on the whole enterprise.
I completely agree.
