Ep 1203 | ‘Republicans Buy Sneakers Too’ Is Dead — Pat McAfee and Sophie Cunningham Prove It

Pat McAfee and Sophie Cunningham came up through the same Midwest city — a punter and a bench player — and became stars by doing one thing: picking a side and being real. Jason Whitlock, an Indianapolis native, breaks it down. Michael Jordan built an empire on “Republicans buy sneakers too” — stay neutral, offend no one. In 1991, it was genius. In 2026, it’s a losing game. In the social media era, authenticity is the only asset that can’t be faked. McAfee stood by Aaron Rodgers when it was a fireable offense. Cunningham says what she believes and dares you to argue. So what happens to a can’t-miss prospect like Caitlin Clark when she plays it safe?
