ESPN personality Pat McAfee is facing mockery following comments made during a recent trip to the University of Utah for College GameDay. According to The Hill, McAfee apparently compared himself to the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk while expressing discomfort with how he was received by students.
Yahoo Sports reports that McAfee addressed the situation toward the end of The Pat McAfee Show, noting that the university's Instagram account had "posted something talking a little trash" about him the previous night. During the broadcast, McAfee expressed difficulty picking against the Utah student section before ultimately predicting a victory for Houston in the matchup against the Utah Utes.
