ESPN has released a statement following Pat McAfee’s recent comments in which he pointed to someone at the network trying to sabotage his show.
McAfee straight-up named high-ranking executive Norby Williamson in his rant, referring to him as a “rat” while claiming to have no respect for him. The accusations have caused a stir at the network, especially as they’re right on the heels of the Aaron Rodgers controversy.
Andrew Marchand of The New York Post has shared a statement from the network in which it defends Williamson while disclosing that the matter will be handled internally.
“No one is more committed and invested in ESPN’s success than Norby Williamson,” it reads. “At the same time, we are thrilled with the multi-platform success that we have seen from the Pat McAfee Show across ESPN. We will handle this matter internally and have no further comment.”
We expect an interesting show from McAfee next week.
