The former ESPN announcer, Keith Olbermann, criticized Pat Mcafee and asked the company to fire him on Monday after the comments of the WWE commentator about Canada.
Mcafee called Canada a “terrible country” after wrestling fans in Canada booed “the performance of Star-Spangled Banner” before the Live Premium event of the elimination chamber during the weekend. It sounds about the reaction he received during his “The Pat McAfee Show” episode.

“Many of us try to warn the new ESPN management that would come the day when this idiot would attract them to a permanent political controversy and that could be subsumed by her or say goodbye,” said Olbermann in response to McAfee’s comments. “That day is today. Accept it.”

“Now, Canada, listening, have told me some things about the Canadians who suppose that respect for the passion you have for your country, which I hope you understand that I was showing the same for mine,” Mcafee explained in the program. “You abundant my country.”

“I understand, now, of the Canadians who have much more passion for their country than they could have imagined. Many terrible things have been said about me, and I understand it,” Mcafee continued.
“I did not say that the Canadians were terrible. I said that your country was. You abundant us. I said you were terrible. We are going to shake hands and move on. I still love the Canadians … I hope it sits.”
