Pat McAfee, an ESPN broadcaster who formerly punted for the Indianapolis Colts, lambasted sports journalists for their outrage over a reporter\u2019s remarks toward Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> head coach Liam Coen.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Free Press associate editor Lynn Jones-Turpin made the comments that sparked a sports media debate<\/a> online. She told Coen, “I\u2019m going to tell you, congratulations on your success, young man. You hold your head up. You guys have had a most magnificent season. You did a great job out there today. You just hold your head up, OK? Ladies and gentlemen, Duval. You keep it going. We got another season.”<\/p>\n

Jones-Turpin\u2019s words sparked consternation among journalists who cover the NFL, and generally sports, for a living. NFL fans brushed it off as sports reporters taking themselves too seriously.<\/p>\n

McAfee took the side of the fan in a lengthy rant posted to X.<\/p>\n

“Love seeing these sports \u2018journalists\u2019 getting ABSOLUTELY BURIED for being curmudgeon bums..” he wrote. “OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM but a LARGE % of these things hate sports.. they hate what sports are for people (happiness).. They hate what sports are for society (unifier).. they\u2019re political journalists by nature who\u2019ve preyed on sports because they saw it as an easier path to \u2018make it.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Their days are numbered.. my show being broadcasted on ESPN 10 hours a week with ZERO creative say from any \u2018journalism school\u2019 puppets is living proof of that.. that\u2019s why they attack me as much as possible.. I\u2019m happy the world is starting to see what they truly are. Now\u2026 We as a society have to stop taking these particular humans seriously. Their opinions and thoughts are coming from a place of wanting to destroy sports.”<\/p>\n

McAfee suggested<\/a> the negativity about Jones-Turpin\u2019s remarks meant that journalists will “never get” that “sports are the greatest thing on Earth.”<\/p>\n

“Also.. Thank you Lynn Jones for setting up a situation for me and all of us on how Liam Coen, a man who might be a (GOAT) when he\u2019s done, handles compliments during one of his most miserable moments. He handled it with class and humility.. feels like some journalism was actually done there,” he added.<\/p>\n
