Today on ESPN, Pat McAfee pushed the boundariesin his monologue about the Indiana Feverstar, calling her a “white b*tch” with no remorse.
His segment on Monday’s Pat McAfee Show, which airs live on ESPN, was all about the fallout from the incident between Clark and Chennedy Carter in the days since the Fever beat the Chicago Sky.
The former NFL punter was not the only ESPN figurehead to land in hot water while discussing Caitlin Clark on Monday, as Stephen A. Smith was called out by Monica McNutton ESPN First Takefor being a part of the problem in the way people walk about women’s basketball.
Despite his unsavory reference to Clark, many viewers of the show appreciated McAfee for his well-researched segment once they saw beyond the cursing. He made a powerpoint full of stats, arguing that Caitlin Clark is being covered so heavily because of her achievements, not because she is white, as many suggest.
The ballsy ESPN host was willing to risk getting clipped up on social mediaand getting in huge trouble with ESPNjust to make the point that Clark is the reason people are watching the WNBA. In doing so, he got a lot more people talking.
