"I’m done giving any s---s at all about any of it. It’s almost like there are two different sets of rules, and if you have a view that’s a little more traditional, or I’m a Christian guy, it’s like there is a different set of rules for that viewpoint," he explained. "It’s hard to just turn the other cheek time after time after time.

"So, yeah, I didn’t really care, and I don’t care at all. Which is a good thing, I think it’s good and healthy to get to that place compared to2, ‘Oh gosh, I don’t want to get canceled. I don’t want to get people upset.’ I don’t give a s---. I’m just going to say certain things. My problem is I have a temper, and so if I get to that point, if that fuse gets lit, I let it go, and then I’ll explode and say something. That I have to be careful of."

Herbstreit said he didn’t receive any blowback from ESPN.
