Pat McAfee issued an apology for calling Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark a “white b----” during a WNBA segment on his show Monday.

“I shouldn’t have used ‘white b----’ as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark,” McAfee wrote on X more than an hour after his show aired. “No matter the context .. even if we’re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening.. I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe.”

McAfee continued: “My intentions when saying it were complimentary just like the entire segment but, a lot of folks are saying that it certainly wasn’t at all.
