Neither name the girl, Pat repeatedly says "allegedly," so they'll be fine (legally). Still a shitty thing to do.
I am not so sure about that. Saying the word "allegedly" isn't some legal cure-all that provides protection to say what you want as a media entity. It's actually just a lazy way of attribution to the source of the material being discussed. Pretty sure the true test for whether "allegedly" offers legal protection for media members is whether the source of the information should have been deemed credible and legitimate. As part of the mainstream sports media sphere, I'd argue McAfee has a duty not to promote stories with such poor sourcing as originating with an anonymous post on YikYak when the result would be clearly defamatory if untrue. That is true whether or not the topic is as salacious as this one, but especially when it is brought up for no other reason than trying to get more clicks from dudes like himself who find the rumored sex lives of coeds entertaining.
If she has a remotely decent attorney, which it sounds like she's going to, she's going to be able to pretty clearly prove damages.
I don’t know where the original thread on this is but sounds like a bunch of the barstool dipshits put out cya statements after thinking it was good content to weigh in
Par Mcafee silenced by Paul Heyman. Real lol when he hit the SAS line about halfway through. Pat was squirming.
Don’t be a dick at games. Somebody was a dick McAfee: It was me. I was the dick. Lifelong Hoosier. I can translate.
he is saying Pat was acting like the embarrassing asshat he is and Indiana fans should not lean in to, or promote, that stoolie ethos or thats how I am taking it
The white text on a photo and weird ass wording is kind of hilarious on its own. Team JCM either way.
was obsessed with I Need a Lover, Paper in Fire and Pink Houses as a youngling edit and Ain't Even Done With the Night
McAfee is pretty insufferable, but that’s a big nothing-burger for me. He was hyping the crowd up, not unlike what I’ve seen at other stadiums.
I don’t know that’s pretty fucking bad. Not happening in this instance but the kind of behavior that leads to mob mentally and eventually violence.
You realize the people he was specifically calling out by name were at the game right? That is bullshit mob mentality behavior.
Team JCM Nothing wrong w hyping the crowd & showing someone to boos on the jumbotron but mcafee never met a microphone he doesnt love & thinks he can turn any sporting event into monday night RAW. Just start a lets go Pacers chant
Kinda weird to call out specific fans who just happen to be famous unless they are also shit talkers like Spike Lee was known to be. Troll players or the fanbase as a whole and it's a different reaction imo
He would have gotten the same reaction from the crowd had he said, “let’s show these New Yorkers what a real Indiana welcome sounds like!”, instead of “let’s send those sons of bitches back to New York!”. Everyone would have known what he meant. I think that is JCM’s point.
They probably declined an invite for his show or to do a social media appearance while in town, and he was being a bitch about it.
Wow. It’s almost like context matters. Also, Ben Stiller seems really mad about this “bullshit mob mentality behavior.”
Never really understood talking shit to opposing fans as a guy from LA. You don’t want them looking at you directly when you take a bottle to the back of their head and curb stomp them
One of my favorite things about Mcafee is he and his wife used IVF and yet clearly support a party that a large chunk sees them as murderers and would ban in a second.
I dont have any issue w what he did. I'm also not going to waste an ounce of energy defending that turd. Especially over something as inconsequential at this.
Just pointing out the stupidity. Same thing with a Will Compton. Dude needed IVF and walks around pushing Girl Dad merch, clearly supports the same movement that criminalized women’s reproductive rights.
hold on, I have an opinion but I also have an eighty-five point moral checklist I need to run through before I feel good about giving it. it's very important that my position is unassailable as I make fun of this chucklefuck dipshit or I won't feel like a true liberal.
