Emotional Speeches and Record-Breaking Wins
Some very memorable speeches stood out. For one thing, Prince Harry spoke about his work with the Invictus Games Foundation.
Here is some of what he shared,
“The truth is I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality. This award belongs to them, not to me,” Duke of Sussex said. “That said, it is of great importance to me to highlight these allies, athletes and their amazing families for their achievements, their spirit and their courage at every opportunity, especially on nights like this in front of people like you.”
On another note, Serena Williams made some interesting comments about rapper Kendrick Lamar. As we all know, Serena is from Compton. And so is Kendrick.
Serena sang some of Kendrick’s alleged diss track, “Not Like Us.” And the audience watched Serena as she did a bit of the legendary ‘crip walk.’
I digress; the winners and nominees gave many emotional speeches. Some shared their stories of perseverance, dedication, and triumph.
Others thanked their fans and everyone who helped them in their careers. As the 2024 ESPY Awards ended, it was clear that this year’s show had been one for the books.
As the attendees filed out of the venue, they were left with memories that would last a lifetime.
