Tatayna MacFadden: nominated for an ESPY
One of my fantastic friends, Peter Grover, brought my attention to this amazingly talented athlete who I had never heard of before. Researching Tatayna MacFadden's abundant career feats as a World Paralympics participant I was beyond confused why I had never been exposed to her accomplishments before. The reason I was so confused regarding my lack of knowledge on MacFadden's career is that I consider myself to be well-versed in the athletic media outlets and sporting communities and I hear about amazing athletes all the times whenever I watch ESPN or open a Sports Illustrated.
Tatayna MacFadden was nominated for an ESPY for her accomplishments as track and field athlete. She won 4 gold medals and 1 Silver at the World Paralympics. She's sponsored by Chevron and she has set several world records at the last Paralympics. She is truly an athlete who deserves as much recognition as anyone in a professional sport.
If I were in charge of the sports media outlet, I would do so many things differently. I would cover women's athletics as much as men's athletics are covered and I would cover Paralympic sports as much as other sports are covered.
