Der vandt walter payton-prisen i går aftes?
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year-prisen uddeles hvert år af National Football League (NFL) for at hædre en spillers frivillige arbejde og velgørenhed samt hans fremragende indsats på banen. Før 1999 blev den blot kaldt NFL Man of the Year Award. Kort efter Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton døde (han havde selv været modtageren i 1977), blev prisen omdøbt for at ære hans arv som menneskeven. Hvert år vælges en vinder blandt 32 nominerede fra de 32 forskellige hold. Et dommerpanel, der består af NFL's kommissær, Connie Payton (Walter Paytons enke), det foregående års vinder og en række tidligere spillere, udvælger vinderen af prisen. Vinderen af Årets Mand modtager en donation på 50 000 USD i sit navn til en velgørenhedsorganisation efter eget valg. De øvrige 31 finalister modtager også donationer i deres navn på hver 5 000 USD til velgørende organisationer efter eget valg. Chicago Bears og Kansas City Chiefs har haft flere vindere af prisen end noget andet hold, nemlig 5 vindere hver.
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award
The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award is presented annually by the National Football League (NFL) honoring a player's volunteer and charity work, as well as his excellence on the field. Prior to 1999, it was called simply the NFL Man of the Year Award. Shortly after Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton died (having been the 1977 recipient himself), the award was renamed to honor his legacy as a humanitarian. Each year, a winner is selected from 32 nominees from the 32 different teams. A panel of judges, which includes the Commissioner of the NFL, Connie Payton (widow of Walter Payton), the previous year's winner, and a number of former players select the winner of the award. The Man of the Year winner receives a $50,000 donation in his name to a charity of his choice. The other 31 finalists also receive donations in their name of $5,000 each to charities of their choice. The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs have had more winners of the award than any other team, with 5 winners each.
