Pat McAfee’s viral comments from Monday did not stop with Caitlin Clark. They extended to WWE’s Monday Night Raw, where he seemingly fanned the flames of the backlash he received.
McAfee is known for his sense of humor and ability to make sports relatable. These qualities have built his career and ESPN and helped him reach superstar status in broadcast circles. But he’s also brought plenty of controversy with him on the air. On Monday, he crossed the humor line and used misogynistic words when he called Caitlin Clark a “white [expletive]” as he explained his opinion on why the WNBA needs to stop hating on Caitlin Clark.
McAfee would later issue an apology. But, hours later, he seemingly doubled down on his actions as he used an opportunity to say Braun Strowman’s “one big [expletive]” tagline with an extra word added. In a recent clip from the show, MccAfee pauses mid-tagline before adding “white” to his words. (Warning: There’s NSFW language in the post and in the video.)
