ESPN’s Pat McAfee has quickly addressed the mounting criticism he has faced for calling Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark a “white b*tch” during his show on Monday morning.
When discussing the 2024 WNBA Draft class on his show, Pat McAfee said to “call it for what it is, there’s one white b*tch for the Indiana team who is a superstar.” McAfee was referencing Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 pick of the draft.
Here is the clip of the comment below (WARNING: Video contains language that is NSFW):
Monday’s Pat McAfee Show opened with a Caitlin Clark PowerPoint:
“I would like the media people that continue to say, ‘This rookie class, this rookie class, this rookie class’. Nah, just call it for what it is — there’s one white bitch for the Indiana team who is a superstar.” pic.twitter.com/psGNQXts5O

Hours after making the comment, McAfee took to X/Twitter and apologized for referring to Clark as a “white b*tch.” The former NFL punter added that he personally reached out to Clark to apologize:
I shouldn’t have used “white bitch” as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark. No matter the context.. even if we’re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening.. I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe.
My intentions when saying… pic.twitter.com/F6OHB4gvYh

Caitlin Clark’s arrival in the WNBA has been one of the top sports stories of 2024. The highest-scorer in NCAA Division I basketball history has played a monumental role in helping the WNBA TV partners enjoy record-setting viewership, as reported by Sports Media Watch.
Clark is off to a superb start for the Fever, averaging 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Clark and Indiana have three more off days before they return to the court for a road game vs. Washington on Friday.
Another Controversy On “The Pat McAfee Show”
Pat McAfee’s reference to Caitlin Clark as a “white b*tch” is far from the only controversy to have transpired ever since his show moved to ESPN.
Though the words didn’t come from McAfee’s mouth, his show received immense backlash for allowing New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to speak freely on the program. Rodgers speed plenty of misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines and indicated that Jimmy Kimmel was on the client list of Jeffrey Epstein.
McAfee subsequently announced that the four-time league MVP and future Hall of Famer would not be on the show for the rest of the season. Rodgers has continued to float baseless conspiracy theories on other shows and podcasts.
Netflix Has Already Edited Out One Of The Most Memorable Parts From “The Roast Of Tom Brady”

Netflix has edited out one of the most memorable and hilarious moments from “The Roast of Tom Brady” that the streaming giant aired on Sunday.
Tom Brady was the target of jokes all night long from a series of A-lister celebrities, former NFL teammates and friends. Kevin Hart hosted the star-studded event which featured appearances from the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jeff Ross, Will Ferrell, Nikki Glaser, Tom Segura, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Peyton Manning, Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick, among others.
One of the more notable parts of the roast was when Kardashian came on stage to roast the seven-time Super Bowl champion. It wasn’t necessarily memorable because of what Kardashian said, but rather the fact that she was booed during her speech:
Tom Brady Is Sticking Around In The Spotlight
Fans who grew up watching Tom Brady certainly realized last year that football wasn’t the same without him. But on the bright side, Sunday’s event was just one of many public appearances that Brady will make from here on out in his post-playing career.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion and three-time league MVP is set to begin his “NFL on FOX” broadcasting career this fall, where he’ll work alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews. Brady will enter the first of a 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX back in 2022.
On top of that, the soon-to-be 47-year-old and future Hall of Famer is in the process of acquiring a Las Vegas Raiders ownership stake.
