ESPN’s Pat McAfee Sorry for Calling Caitlin Clark a ‘White B*tch’
ESPN host Pat McAfee apologized Monday for referring to Caitlin Clark as a “white bitch” during a segment in his show earlier in the day in which he commended the WNBA rookie for bringing attention to the league.
“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,” McAfee wrote in a post on X.
“My intentions when saying it were complimentary just like the entire segment but, a lot of folks are saying that it certainly wasn’t at all. That’s 100% on me and for that I apologize… I have sent an apology to Caitlin as well. Everything else I said… still alllllll facts. #Journalism #WNBAProgrum #SheIsTheOne.”
