Jemele Hill questions reaction to Pat McAfee controversy

Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill is weighing in on one of the biggest sports media conversations of the weekend, arguing that fans are holding Pat McAfee to a different standard than other ESPN personalities, The Spun reported. The debate started after a viral clip showed McAfee appearing to smoke something during his show, sparking discussion across social media. According to reports, the object shown in the video was never definitively identified.

Hill said the public reaction reminded her of another ESPN controversy involving WNBA analyst Monica McNutt. Earlier this year, McNutt drew criticism from some viewers after appearing on a SportsCenter segment while getting a pedicure at a nail salon. Hill argued that many people labeled McNutt's appearance unprofessional, while reacting much differently to McAfee's latest viral moment, Yahoo! reported.
