PAT MCAFEE: SEX-ABUSE JOKES ARE BANTER. CALLING HIM CORNY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. Pat, you found room for a Larry Nassar punchline. You found an explanation for Aaron Rodgers’ Epstein insinuation about Jimmy Kimmel. But Utah students hurt your feelings, and suddenly Charlie Kirk’s killing entered the conversation. An extraordinary escalation from “please keep your shirt on.” Let’s review your standards. • July 2023: You invoked convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar while mocking Michigan State’s uniforms. Your defense: “I was simply talking sh*t to my friend.” • September 2023: Washington State’s defenders objected to GameDay’s treatment of their school. Your response included “Like, shut up!” and “Waste of time on this show.” • January 2024: After Rodgers’ remarks about Kimmel, you explained, “But I think Aaron was just trying to talk shit.” You also apologized. • October 2026: Utah’s official account shared students mocking you. You complained about discomfort, invoked Kirk’s killing, and said you hoped never to return. Your defense is the university posted it. Fine. Official platforms carry responsibility. Explain how ESPN escaped your calculation. You expect people to weigh your intentions when your jokes offend them. You gave Utah’s joke the assassination context. Those students did not become a threat because you disliked their delivery. Your discomfort does not establish their dangerousness. And dragging a killing into a dispute over being called corny deserves scrutiny, especially from someone whose business depends on other people tolerating public ridicule. Pat, how do you defend using a serial sexual abuser as a punchline, then invoke an assassination when college students roast your shirtless routine? Where was this concern about harmful public speech when you held the microphone? You told Washington State to shut up. Try holding yourself to a standard you haven’t shouted at someone else.
