Pat McAfee addressed a joke he made about Michigan State\u2019s football uniforms by referencing disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McAfee talked about the snide tweet<\/a> on his show Monday. He is set to move his show to ESPN in the near future.<\/p>\n

“Hey, listen, I don\u2019t want to say it, because, you know, there is an all-out onslaught against me right now for simply linking one terrible thing from a school with the most terrible thing from a school to a friend in a reply tweet, talking s— to a friend,” he said. “And I do apologize if some people took that in a different way and spun it in their own narrative to other people and kind of did their own thing.”<\/p>\n

“I was simply talking s— to a friend. But does it feel like Michigan State alums are trying to silence the media whenever they acknowledge that Larry Nassar, one of the most horrible humans ever, of all time, he was at Michigan State 14 years? So, that\u2019s not really a part of the story, that they kind of created and empowered [him]. If that\u2019s going to get us canceled. \u2026 It\u2019s going to get loud.”<\/p>\n

McAfee said he was getting messages that said he should delete the tweet. But he asked why if he was only “talking s—” to his friend. He added that if Nassar did design the “STATE” jerseys with green shirts and neon-green pants “that wouldn\u2019t even be mentioned in the Larry Nassar entire thing.”<\/p>\n

“We believe Larry Nassar is a terrible human, the worst human, disgusting human,” he continued. “I would like to say that this show covered that more than probably anybody, more than anybody about how bad of a guy he is, more than anybody did. So, there was a lot of people who were like, \u2018Oh, you think this guy \u2026\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018No, terrible guy,’ also Foxy\u2019s school.”<\/p>\n

McAfee continued to justify the tweet, saying the world needs to speak the truth about “horrible people in powerful positions.”<\/p>\n

“We can\u2019t just, this isn\u2019t something where it\u2019s like \u2018can\u2019t talk about this.\u2019 It\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, in our history, very recent history, people were given a lot of power and were terrible people in the sports world.\u2019 And the way we decide to cover it is by talking s— to somebody who loves everything about Michigan State because that\u2019s his school.”<\/p>\n

“If I went to Michigan State and this whole thing happened, and they didn\u2019t say that to me, we would be avoiding something that\u2019s very serious and very terrible and very real. So, I do apologize to everybody that just took my six-word tweet and said that I was disrespecting this and not thinking about the victims. I was like, \u2018What?\u2019 I think we\u2019re thinking about the victims, future victims, by reminding people that this mother—er had a lot of power at Michigan State for a long time while being a terrible human being. And I\u2019m just s—talking a friend.”<\/p>\n

Nassar is serving decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists. He admitted sexually assaulting athletes when he worked at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics.<\/p>\n

He also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.<\/p>\n

During victim impact statements in 2019, several athletes testified that over the course of Nassar\u2019s more than two decades of sexual abuse,<\/i>\u00a0they had told coaches and trainers and other adults what was occurring, but it went unreported.<\/p>\n

Nassar is likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars.<\/p>\n

More than 150 victims spoke or submitted statements during the seven-day hearing, including\u00a0Simone Biles<\/a>. The women sought more than $1 billion from the federal government over the FBI\u2019s failure to stop Nassar when agents became aware of the allegations against him in 2015.<\/p>\n

A final appeal from Nassar was rejected by the Michigan Supreme Court last month. Attorneys for Nassar said he was treated unfairly in 2018 and deserved a new hearing based on the judge calling him a “monster,” among other remarks.<\/p>\n

“I just signed your death warrant,” Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said of Nassar\u2019s 40-year sentence.<\/p>\n

While the Michigan Supreme Court said it had concerns over the judge\u2019s conduct, officials noted Aquilina stuck to the sentencing agreement worked out by the lawyers on the case.<\/p>\n

“We decline to expend additional judicial resources and further subject the victims in this case to additional trauma where the questions at hand present nothing more than an academic exercise,” the court said.<\/p>\n
