    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.

    Par Mcafee silenced by Paul Heyman. Real lol when he hit the SAS line about halfway through. Pat was squirming.

    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.

    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.

    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.
