Seahawks win ESPYs

The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks won best team and their All-Pro cornerback, Richard Sherman (pictured), won breakthrough athlete at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. Kevin Durant won two ESPYs, including male athlete of the year, and mixed martial arts star Ronda Rousey earned female athlete honors, becoming the first UFC fighter to claim a trophy in the biggest category at the show. Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder also won best NBA player, ending LeBron James’ two-year reign in both categories. The Arthur Ashe Courage award went to St. Louis Rams draftee Michael Sam, who announced earlier this year that he is gay. The former Missouri defensive end will be trying to make the Rams’ roster when training camp opens. – AP
