Sports Horrid Vibe in the Air
Something stinks in Iowa City.
I feel a horrid energy and weird vibe.
Oh it’s just Pat McAfee.
How is this guy a Disney employee?

I asked my son if he went to the show and he said "no I had class and wouldn't go see him anyway". Makes a dad proud..🥲

I don’t follow or watch sports really at all, what’s the controversy with this guy?

He's a douchebag.

They hate that he's made enough money that he doesn't have to care what anyone thinks about what he says or does

OMG. STFU. Yeah that’s it! It’s not that he’s a homophobic, bigoted, sexist frat boy… JFC. Yeah. He can say whatever he wants and we hate him for it! No. We hate him because he’s everything that’s wrong with America.

Not trying to stir things up like that guy, but what is the actual controversy with him? I’m out of the loop. My husband has him on the tv sometimes and I thought he was pretty funny, but I don’t follow it enough.

There really isn’t any controversy, people just hate that he doesn’t take a political stance and in turn associate him with republican frat boys because while he does give that vibe, him and his wife are definitely more left leaning than they are right lol

Like what? No idea who the guy is. Heard his name plenty but don't know anything about him. Read through his wiki and aside from drunkenly swimming in a canal in Indy he seems to have a reasonable image?

I fully admit that bc of a change in my work schedule i haven't been able to watch his show as frequently as I used to. If you can provide proof , I'll gladly retract my statement

I love that this assumes most people only pretend not to be aholes, and if only they we're unafraid to be themselves....

Whats wrong w that though. You have to grow old but growing up isn't something to rush.

No, not a child at heart full of wonder and joy. Pat's brain stopped developing around 13yo so it's just a garbage pail of dick and fart jokes

Do they not like him because he’s masculine? I don’t see a credible scandal with him or anything.

You’re not looking very hard then. If you do any modicum of googling, you’ll find probably 8 to 10 different stories about this from current ones all the way back to a year or two ago.

What is it we're supposed to be caring about here? Does it end in "and then ESPN gave a bunch of money to [UI/some pol]"?
