Olbermann wants ESPN to fire Pat McAfee for defending America on-air

The entire ordeal stems from the start of WWE’s premium live event on Saturday, in which the Toronto crowd booed the United States’ national anthem amid growing tensions between the country and Canada. It didn’t take long to figure out that McAfee took exception to the booing, as he not only addressed it at the start of the broadcast, but also mentioned it repeatedly throughout the show.
“Kind of sucks that it’s in the terrible country of Canada, which booed our national anthem to start this entire thing,” McAfee said of the show. “But it’s going to be a historic night for the WWE.”
quote:
Later in the show, play-by-play voice Michael Cole referenced the Emmy-winning Canadian/American TV show Schitt’s Creek, to which McAfee replied: “They booed the national anthem, they’re going to need to stop doing that, or the whole place is going to be shite.”
quote:
“A lot of us tried to warn the new espn management that the day would come when this idiot would draw them into a permanent political controversy and they could either be subsumed by it, or fire him,” Olbermann wrote on X. “That day is today. Fire him.”

He would fit right in with the paddle holders. He is on par with Al Green.

Wait. A guy that was fired by ESPN and now has to "host" a podcast out of his basement is saying he "warned" ESPN about their most popular on air personality?
Oh boy, this is good

Maybe he’ll do the reverse Bret Hart where he’s a babyface in America and heel in Canada.

McAfee defending Old Glory and the USA is the best thing that could have happened for ESPN.

Olbermann would have received help 50 plus years ago

Imagine being in the media for as long as Olbermann has and still not figuring out even the announcing in wrestling is a work. (Not saying Pat didn’t really mean what he says but there’s a reason things make it to broadcast)
It’s still real to Keith, damnit!!!!

What exactly does he do these days other than spew mindless rants on X?
Seriously, I have no idea what he's been doing to feed himself since leaving ESPN.

Even better, a guy that's ate up top to bottom with one particular political leaning is saying he "warned" ESPN when the polar opposite opinion of his is being pushed.
