ESPN Facing Growing Pressure To Cut Ties With Monica McNutt

July 27, 2026

ESPN is facing growing pressure to cut ties with WNBA analyst Monica McNutt on Monday, July 27.

The ESPN analyst, who also serves as an in-game analyst for the New York Knicks, publicly called out Caitlin Clark during a “Women’s Sports Sundays” segment for the Worldwide Leader in Sports. McNutt is urging Clark to take “more accountability” for her role within the discourse involving her.

“I do think, as she continues to matriculate through this league, there’s room for a little more accountability and self awareness, in terms of her role in the larger sisterhood, if she sees it that way, in the WNBA,” McNutt said.

Clark has stated that the ongoing media coverage of her can be “exhausting.” yahoo!sports
