Pat McAfee blasted ESPN’s plan to award Prince Harry the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the upcoming ESPYs.
During the “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, McAfee accused his own network of “trying to piss people off” for honoring the Duke of Sussex with an award named after the late NFL safety turned Army Ranger.
The award is handed out to those who have made significant contributions in the world, which echoes Tillman’s legacy.
“It’s going to Prince Harry,” McAfee said. “Who I don’t even think is a Prince anymore, right? He said don’t call me that? See, why does the ESPYs do this s–t?”
A member of McAfee’s crew, Boston Connor, called the decision to award Harry “asinine” while others said the award should’ve gone to “someone from the United States.”
“This is like actually the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen in my entire life,” he added.
