The ESPN star suggested on Wednesday that his ESPN bosses made him stop talking about Caitlin Clark on his show.
Update: Awful Announcing — the source of the video — has since released a statement saying that Pat McAfee was not encouraged by ESPN managers to cease his conversations about Caitlin Clark.
When it comes to ESPN star Pat McAfee and WNBA mega-star Caitlin Clark, there have been more bad headlines than good ones over the past few months.
If you will remember, back in June, McAfee had to issue a public apology after referring to the Indiana Fever guard as “that white b**ch” when talking about her stardom in the WNBA.
While McAfee was singing her praises, the terminology that he used certainly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and ruffled some feathers with his bosses at ESPN.
Now it appears that those ESPN bosses may have stopped McAfee from talking about Clark altogether. This much is becoming clear after NBC’s Rich Eisen came on The Pat McAfee Show Wednesday afternoon and the two had a discussion about the sports topics that have been the most interesting to talk about this offseason.
