Chris Russo sparked outrage with a sexist rant against Taylor Swift and WNBA star Caitlin Clark during an NFL game. The Mad Dog radio host claimed that Clark’s fandom was not legit because she never wore Chiefs gear to her college games, despite showing photos of herself as a child wearing the team’s jersey years ago.
Russo also referred to Swift as “the girlfriend” and diminished her cultural impact by saying her fans are just teenage girls. However, it has been revealed that Clark has long professed her love for the Chiefs, even when they were not performing well.
Clark’s father may have never worn Patrick Mahomes jerseys to his daughter’s college games, but she showed her dedication to the team in a 2023 appearance on ESPN2’s ManningCast. The incident highlights Russo’s tendency to complain about issues that aren’t relevant to the game, and his comments have been widely criticized as sexist and misogynistic.
Russo’s rant has sparked a wave of criticism, with many calling out his sexist behavior and defending Clark and Swift. The Mad Dog radio host needs to take responsibility for his words and apologize for his actions.
