Pat McAfee calls Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark an unacceptable name

The sports world was set ablaze on Monday morning when Pat McAfee referred to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark as a, “white b****” during a segment on the “Pat McAfee Show”.

“Just call it for what it is. There’s one white b**** for the Indiana team who is a super star,” McAfee said, before going on a long rant about Clark’s rookie season with the Fever.

McAfee was widely criticized for his comment, which he apologized for during Tuesday’s episode of the “Pat McAfee Show”.

McAfee also noted in his apology that he reached out to Clark directly, through the Fever’s public relations team.

“I did reach out to Caitlin Clark through the Fever (public relations),” McAfee said. “Sent an apology and then got a message back that she said it was all good.”

So Clark saying it “was all good,” signals that there’s no bad blood between her and McAfee, who has been seen sitting court side at Indiana Fever games this season.

Although that doesn’t mean that ESPN won’t still decide to punish McAfee for his disrespectful comments.
