Aliyah Boston took to social media Wednesday as she penned a note about her thoughts concerning ESPN not inviting her to the ESPYs.
The South Carolina basketball star was nominated for the “Best College Athlete, Women’s Sports” award. The network told The State that the reason Boston did not receive an invite to the annual awards show is because her award was not part of the televised schedule. Per a statement, due to COVID-19 restrictions and a new venue, the network “prioritized athlete invitations to focus on specific awards that will be handed out during the broadcast.”
The statement came after South Carolina head women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley called out ESPN for not including Boston.
