A day after receiving plenty of online flak for making an insensitive joke about former Michigan State sports doctor and convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar, ESPN personality Pat McAfee doubled down on it Monday, openly wondering why anybody would want him to apologize.
The controversy started when McAfee replied to a tweet from one of his colleagues on the Pat McAfee Show, who had posted a tweet criticizing an alternate Michigan State football jersey. McAfee replied to the tweet, writing, “I think [Larry] Nassar was in on the design team actually.”
During Monday’s show, McAfee defended his joke, chalking it up as simply him teasing his friend.
