In response to the backlash, McAfee offered an explanation for his behavior claiming that he had received a message from God urging him to stop talking about Caitlin Clark.
‘Well… the universe told me to not talk about her,’ McAfee said. ‘God came in and was like, ”You know what, pal? Probably go ahead and stop it.’
Eisen then asked McAfee why the ‘universe’ showed him a sign to stop mentioning Clark in his weekly debriefs on live TV.
‘Because I’m an idiot, mostly,’ McAfee said.
He later apologized.
‘I shouldn’t have used ”white b****” as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark,’ McAfee wrote on X.
‘No matter the context… even if we’re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening… I have too much respect for her an women to put that into the universe.’
He continued: ‘My intentions when saying it were complimentary just like the entire segment but, a lot of folks are saying that i certainly wasn’t at all. That’s 100 percent on me and for that I apologize…
‘I have sent an apology to Caitlin as well. Everything else I said… still alllllll facts.’
Pat McAfee’s claim that God told him to stop talking about Caitlin Clark on his ESPN show adds a layer of intrigue to an already contentious situation.
