HuffPost
The unsavory dig sparked outrage from social media users.
Comedian Shane Gillis made an abominable joke at the 2025 ESPY Awards that people won’t soon forget.
On Wednesday, he kicked off hosting the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles by taking aim at Black women and WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
“When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she’s going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist-fighting Black women,” he told the audience, which awkwardly laughed and groaned in response.
