Lindsey Vonn turns heads at the ESPYs, the US men’s team was disgustingly snubbed & Dechambeau fires back
This piece is an instalment of OutKick's daily "Nightcaps" column, a roundup of sports and culture stories from the past 24 hours, with this edition centred on the 2026 ESPY Awards and the reaction to it. The headline points to three separate threads within the column: skier Lindsey Vonn drawing attention with her appearance at the ceremony, criticism that the US men's team was unfairly overlooked for recognition, and golfer Bryson DeChambeau hitting back at critics.
The fuller text supplied consists largely of links to related OutKick stories rather than the column's own narrative detail, so specifics of the Vonn appearance, the alleged snub and DeChambeau's response are not given. Related ESPYs coverage referenced elsewhere in the roundup includes a risqué joke about DJ Khaled that slipped past Disney's censors, Mike Tyson's on-air reaction to learning about Shohei Ohtani, and the Savannah Bananas' widely panned opening performance. The "Nightcaps" column runs Monday to Friday on OutKick.com.

Explained simply
The ESPY Awards are an annual American television ceremony that honours sporting achievement across multiple sports. Held by ESPN, the awards celebrate noteworthy athletic performances and moments from the past year, with winners selected through fan voting, editors' choices and judgement from professional athletes.
The 2026 ceremony drew widespread attention across social media and sports commentary. Several moments proved particularly noteworthy, including the appearance of former Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and criticism that the US men's team had been unfairly overlooked for recognition. Golfer Bryson DeChambeau also made a public response to his detractors.
The ESPYs hold significance as an annual marker of American sports culture and reflect broader discussions about which athletes and achievements the sporting world values. The ceremony typically generates considerable wider conversation beyond the awards themselves, shaped by moments of celebration, controversy and social media reaction.
