More than 30,000 people have signed a petition against Prince Harry being awarded the Pat Tillman Award for his work with the Invictus Games. The award, named after former footballer Pat Tillman who served in the military and was killed in Afghanistan, is meant to honor those who exemplify Tillman's values of dedication to their squad and country. Critics argue that Harry's controversies, including endangering his squadron and facing accusations of self-centeredness, make him an unfit recipient for the award. Tillman's mother also expressed disappointment in the decision, stating there are more deserving individuals in the veteran community. The petition calls for ESPN to reconsider giving Prince Harry the award and honor someone more deserving. Supporters urge unbiased journalism to hold power accountable and expose the truth.
