To be specific
"Many people were involved in developing the Invictus Games to what they are today

US Gen Gary Cheek and John Wordin developed the Warrior Games, which is the template for a huge raft of similar incarnations of the Invictus Games all around the world.

Martin Colclough (OBE and Help for Heroes UK Charity) took a team of disabled UK military over to the Warrior Games in 2012. It was Martin who invited Harry to go and watch the UK when the UK competed again 2013 in Colorado.

The London Committee (Paralympics) used the Warrior Games template to create the first incarnation of Invictus.

The Invictus Foundation was created under the umbrella of the Royal Foundation and named Founders were William, Harry and Catherine, none of them created the Games.

Harry joined the Invictus Board as its Patron. When the Games were being further developed, it’s no doubt that Harry had some small input into the discussions, but it’s laughable to say he created the Invictus Games.

Teams of people created and refined the Invictus Games to the well known entity it is now.

Martin Colclough is often over looked when titled people are mentioned but he did a great deal for wounded Military and Invictus in particular."

From a Brit who knows.

I think our society would be much better off if people like Pat McAfee would focus less on being furious and more on enjoying life.

My only problem with this is it should be an award to an American. But I have no idea who the candidates were and otherwise don’t care. I’ll hang up and listen.

Harry is an idiot but he's made an honest attempt for a long time now to participate in sincere philanthropy.

So long as the philanthropy doesn't involve his own dollars and pounds.

McAfee is wrong here. I think the award is well-deserved. And part of that clip was censored.

Harry has done a lot for the military. Unfortunately he’s also brainwashed by some succubus. Pat mCaffe shows would be a lot better if he did em with his mouth duct taped.

So a combat vet who has pointed his philanthropy towards injured soldiers is being called out by a guy who has a kicking contest every week during the cfb season? FUBAR

Combat vet is being really generous for the guy who had a protection squad around him. He barely got a sun tan.
Harry's Invictus Idea came from the US games and the work was done by others employed by the royal family.

Prince Harry is a ten year military veteran with multiple tours in Afghanistan. And he founded the Invictus Games for injured soldiers. McAfee has served in what way? Kicking a football? Being a loudmouth douchebag on tv?

Patrick Tillman was a man. Prince Harry...well he isn't fit to be mentioned in the same sentence.
