Pat McAfee stopped his show after seeing a troubling message
Pat McAfee is used to hearing criticism online, but a message he spotted during his ESPN show this week caught him off guard. The former NFL punter and current ESPN personality was broadcasting from Los Angeles on Monday when he read a social media post that appeared to contain a disturbing reference to the 2025 killing of political commentator Charlie Kirk, according to The New York Post . McAfee paused during the show and questioned what the message meant before saying he hoped nothing like that would ever happen. After the broadcast, McAfee shared a screenshot of the now-deleted post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
