Serena Williams’ diss about Harrison Butker wasn’t the only highlight from the ESPYs. See all the most memorable moments from the show!
The 2024 ESPY Awards was a night packed with iconic performances, speeches and call-outs. Host Serena Williams came out swinging, throwing her best shot at Harrison Butker, referring to his past comments about women’s career paths. Not only that, but the tennis champion even sang a few notes of a song to tease her rival, Maria Sharapova.
But the real highlights were within several speeches of the night. South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley fearlessly discussed the pay gap that women in sports are still dealing with while addressing the crowd.
“How do I not fight pay disparity when I do the same job and get paid less, but win more?” she asked after inviting her team to stand. “They’re watching me; I can’t ask them to stand up for themselves if I’m sitting down, nor can I ask them to use their voice to affect change if I’m only willing to whisper. So, when someone tells me to ‘shut up and coach,’ I simply say: ‘No.’ I have a job to do.'”
