Pat McAfee has clarified the thought process on his Larry Nassar tweet that drew backlash.
“This guy has done the worst imaginable, so if he did design those terrible jerseys that Michigan State had as well, that wouldn’t even be mentioned [in his story].
“I want everyone to know who’s coming after me, I believe Larry Nassar [is] a terrible human. Worst human. Disgusting human. I would like to say this show covered that more than probably anybody, more than anybody about how bad of a guy he is.”“We need to tell people that there’s disgusting, horrible people in powerful positions. This isn’t something where it’s like, ‘Hey can’t talk about this,'” McAfee said.
“It’s like, ‘Hey, in our history, very recent history, people were given a lot of power that were very terrible people.’ In the sports world. And the way we decide to cover it is by talking s–t to somebody who loves everything about Michigan State because it’s his school.“If I went to Michigan State and this whole thing happened, if they didn’t say that to me, we would be avoiding something that is very serious, very terrible and very real.
“I think we’re talking about the victims, the future victims, and everything by reminding people that this motherf–ker had a lot of power at Michigan State for a long time, while being a terrible human being, and I’m just s–t-talking a friend.” McAfee said that he sent the tweet and went to the state fair with his wife, and that for people new to the show, he brings up Larry Nassar every time Michigan State is in the conversation.“But then I got everyone telling me I need to delete it. If I delete and apologize for that, I think there’s gonna be 150 shows we’re gonna have to delete off the internet.Share this article:
