Former NFL punter and current sports media personality Pat McAfee announced he is staying off X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, telling his audience "it's been pretty mean on there." The comment came during a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, as reported by Awful Announcing.

McAfee, who has built a large following through his daily sports talk program and various broadcasting roles, did not specify particular incidents but indicated the general tone on the platform drove his decision. The move highlights ongoing concerns among public figures about harassment and toxicity on social media.

McAfee's show continues to air across multiple platforms, including YouTube and ESPN, where he remains an active presence in sports commentary.
