ESPYS AWARDS: VOTE FOR RAFA!
June 27, 2009
The Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards (ESPYS) will once again recognize and celebrate the best sporting moments, and most successful athletes during the past year, when they take place on Sunday, July 15th at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
This year, the famous awards have honored Rafa with 3 nominations as the ‘Best Male International Athlete’, ‘Best Tennis Player’ and ‘Best Game’ for last year’s Wimbledon final against Roger Federer.
The Arthur Ashe Courage Award is another ESPY highlight, honoring an invidual for their personal courage or charitable works outside the sports arena, with past winners including such trailblazers as Muhammad Ali and tennis star Billie Jean King.
Unlike most awards shows, the ESPYs are probably most noted for its contribution to charity.
