Pat McAfee runs one of the biggest sports shows in the genre’s history. The former NFL punter talks all things sports, so when something is taking over the world, he will have something to say.
There is one issue, though, and it’s that McAfee uses some pretty strong wording on many topics. His show is owned by ESPN, so they say it’s a “no-go,” which is too bad for the 37-year-old talk show host.
McAfee may focus a lot on the NFL; however, in recent media, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been all the rage as she is completely taking over the WNBA, and surprisingly, McAfee isn’t allowed to speak on the star anymore.
McAfee was interviewing fellow sports show host Rich Eisen for Wednesday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show when Caitlin Clark’s name came up in conversation. He quickly shut down the topic, seemingly confirming ESPN’s decision.
What happened to @PatMcAfeeShow was unfair. He has always been a huge supporter of Caitlin’s. When Chennedy called her a B*TCH, he made a comment using the same word, but really was almost trying to say she’s our B*ITCH and everyone took the opportunity to pounce.

Pat McAfee Tells Rich Eisen That He Can’t Speak On Caitlin Clark
McAfee told Eisen, “The universe told me not to talk about her,” furthering his statement by adding, “You know, God came down and said you should probably go ahead and stop it.”
