主页上对该奖的介绍:
Known as the ” Oscar” of sports awards, and older than The Heisman,the AAU Sullivan Award honors theoutstanding amateur athlete in the United States. It has been presented annually by the AAU since 1930 as a salute to founder and past president of the Amateur Athletic Union, and a pioneer in amateur sports, James E. Sullivan. Based on the qualities of leadership, character, sportsmanship, and the ideals of amateurism, the AAU Sullivan Award goes far beyond athletic accomplishments and honors those who have shown strong moral character.
大意:
“AAU— Sullivan”奖被誉为体育界的“奥斯卡”,专门授予美国的优秀业余运动员。该奖自1930年以来每年颁发一次,以纪念“业余运动联盟”的创立者、前主席及业余体育的先锋James E. Sullivan。基于业余运动的领导地位、性质、运动员精神、理想等特点,“AAU—Sullivan”奖超越了运动员的成果,专门授予那些有着强烈道德品质的运动员。
