The ESPY award winners usually receive the headlines, but this year, the main headline revolved around someone who walked away trophy-less: Harrison Butker.
The moment occurred last week, when former tennis star Serena Williams, the host; Quinta Brunson, actress and comedian known for Abbott Elementary, and the other Williams tennis-playing sister, Venus, took the stage together to speak about the importance and relevance of women’s sports. In their message, they applauded the excitement around female sports and said that viewers should appreciate it, not as “women’s” sports but simply “sports.”
Venus Williams implored viewers: “So, go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sports, because they are sports.”
