ESPN's Pat McAfee Show Embroiled in Controversy

Disney remains silent as host Pat McAfee stirs up controversy, leading to suspension of regular guest Aaron Rodgers.

  • ESPN host Pat McAfee has been causing controversy for the Disney-owned network, allowing guest Aaron Rodgers to spread misinformation about vaccinations and insult influential ESPN executive Norby Williamson.
  • Rodgers, a regular guest on McAfee's show, has been suspended from appearing while the current NFL season is in play, following his suggestion that ABC star Jimmy Kimmel would feature on the Jeffrey Epstein associates list.
  • McAfee has also accused Williamson of trying to sabotage his show by leaking unflattering ratings data to the press.
  • Despite the controversies, ESPN seems to tolerate McAfee's antics as his show attracts younger viewers and has a massive YouTube audience.
  • Disney, which owns both ESPN and ABC, has remained silent on the ongoing drama.
