Perhaps the most fired man in American media history, Keith Orberman is asking for ESPN to fire Pat McAfee after hosts and WWE analysts were called “a horrifying country” over the weekend.
McAfee was in Toronto for WWE last weekend Removal chamber Events seen Canadian crowd unleashing booing torrents Starspangled banner When the night begins.
“These are the most stacked removal chambers WWE has ever had,” McAfee said while laying out the stacked cards. “What's in a kind of scary country in Canada started this whole thing by booing our national anthem! But it's going to be a historic night for WWE on the road to WrestleMania.”
To his surprise, Orberman did not get an exception in anthem booing, but instead assaulted him with McAfee and demanded that ESPN be fired for calling Canada “bad.”
“Many of us tried to warn new ESPN management that this idiot would draw them into permanent political debate and that they would either be enveloped by it or fired that day. Orberman wrote to X.
“That day is today. I'm going to fire him.”
It is unclear whether Orberman is intentionally funny by calling the national anthem spat between the US and Canada a “permanent political debate.” However, assuming he is not, after more than 20 years of ramp-prolonged leftist activism by the ESPN personality, it is intentionally or unintentionally hilarious to think that McAfee's words at the scripted WWE event have ended.
In addition to McAfee's comments not being serious in either tone or subject (not like former ESPN personalities like Jemelehill, who called President Trump a white supremacist), McAfee is away from the deep bench of liberal activist Espan in the sense that he actually earns the network. So no, Keith Orberman, McAfee wouldn't be fired. Unlike Orberman and his friends, he's an employer's asset.
McAfee addressed comments on Canadian WWE fans in Monday's episode Patmacafee show.
“There were a few things that Canadians have told me. I think you respect for your passion for your country. I was showing the same for me.
“You booed my country. Now, I've heard from many Canadians. During the national anthem, obviously the Rogers Centre is an overwhelming boo, meaning it's a very big boo. The first reaction when the national anthem began was for some of these Canadians just to start booing. My entire life, my first reaction when someone booes the national anthem is that you f*ck you.”
I said it well.
