Pat McAfee: ‘God’ told me to stop talking about Caitlin Clark after ‘white b–ch’ controversy

Pat McAfee is on the defense again about Caitlin Clark.

The ESPN personality ruffled some feathers again when the Fever rookie was brought up on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday.

McAfee said “the universe told me not to talk about her,” referring to Clark, during a conversation with veteran sportscaster Rich Eisen.

The former NFL punter added that he was “an idiot” for his previous remarks about Clark, whom he called a “white b–ch” during an installment of his show on June 3.

He issued a public apology and reached out to Clark at the time.

Some on social media thought McAfee was referring to ESPN when he said “God” and “the universe” told him to stray away from Clark conversations.

“This isn’t true. I said ‘God’ and the ‘universe’ told me to stop talking about it.. that was thru me saying something that inevitably always caused full chaos,” McAfee wrote in a reply tweet.

“It wasn’t great for my life or for the progrum (sic). You took a completely false headline from an asinine account and amplified it. ESPN has zero say over my show. Thanks again.”

In June, the 36-year-old McAfee landed in hot water when he spoke about Clark, along with the 2024 WNBA draft class, and her impact on the league’s viewership this season.

“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 b—h for the Indiana team who is a superstar,” McAfee said at the time.

McAfee issued an apology on X just hours later.

“I shouldn’t have used ‘white b—h’ as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark,” McAfee said . “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 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.”

Clark never addressed the situation publicly.
