The choice to give Serena Williams the Sports Illustrated magazine Sportsperson of the Year award has prompted both celebration and contention, with some arguing that the prize had a more deserving victor: racehorse American Pharaoh.
Williams posted the cover on her Instagram, writing, “This year was spectacular for me. For Sports Illustrated to recognize my hard work, my dedication, and my sheer determination gives me hope to continue on and do better.”
The award was seen by many as a welcome celebration of both Williams’ impressive career, and as an achievement for women and people of colour in the sport.
