ESPN Has Issued a Mandate To Employees They Can Not Appear on The Pat McAfee Show

ESPN is cracking down on its employees making appearances on shows not affiliated with the Mothership. They will no longer be allowed to feature anybody who works for ESPN on his show, per orders given by ESPN. Terrible decision by ESPN. But are you surprised? Pat McAfee addressed the mandate on his show today.

Watch below: ‘

It was a good run..

The one glimmer shine of hope I saw from @ESPN was that they seemed to be allowing their hosts to co-mingle across networks. It’s good for sports culture. So of course they are preventing it. Shout out @PatMcAfeeShow. And yes, #ESPNSTINKS!

Old whites scared & their new deals to blowhard pricks have put a spotlight on the competition doing bigger & better #s so what's the response? No more Bristol on a "small-time regional show" @PatMcAfeeShow Time to start expanding? Folks might want some freedom! #ESPNstinks

Definitely a move ESPN will regret. If they’re all about their stars, why not let those stars go on other network’s shows?

Not sure what they’re thinking.
