Pat McAfee Blasts 'Old ESPN People' in Instagram Rant, Hints at Tension on College GameDay

His post underscores a collision of safety concerns with unverified claims of internal resistance.

Overview

  • McAfee shared a collage of negative comments from a College GameDay clip and said his harshest critics are “old white people” and “old ESPN people.”
  • He asserted that College GameDay producers fall into the group he says dislikes him and suggested behind-the-scenes friction at the show.
  • McAfee said he deals with frequent harassment, including death threats, as he explained why he was responding publicly to critics.
  • He previously accused longtime ESPN executive Norby Williamson of attempting to undermine his show and of manipulating ratings, with outlets noting Williamson has since left the network after decades there.
  • ESPN has not issued a public response to McAfee’s latest remarks, and he remains slated to appear when GameDay broadcasts from Nashville this Saturday.
