Keith Olbermann Calls For ESPN To Fire Pat McAfee Over Controversial Comments

Keith Olbermann has called for ESPN to fire Pat McAfee after McAfee referred to Canada as a 'terrible country' during a WWE event in Toronto, where fans booed the U.S. national anthem. McAfee's comments were made in response to the boos and he later defended his remarks, stating he was expressing patriotism for the U.S. Olbermann criticized ESPN's management for hiring McAfee and warned that such comments could draw the network into political controversy. Despite the backlash, there is no indication that ESPN is considering firing McAfee, who has a sizable contract with the network. McAfee acknowledged the passionate response from Canadians but stood firm in his reaction to the booing. The incident has sparked a debate about free speech and nationalism in sports commentary.
