Mellencamp, however, said in a statement that he was “embarrassed” that “someone” used “a bad sporty spirit” – without mentioning McAfee by name. McAfee replied on X that “I am someone”.

“When the Knicks play Gainbridge, I think there will be hoots. There could be negative things to the other team. It is sort of how sport works, I think,” started McAfee. “We are going to be an agent of good things to sporting things that happen. Only positive applause in the future, because it will make John Cougar Mellencamp happy.”
