Hill, who came under fire for calling former President Trump a "white supremacist" during her time at ESPN, discussed what she says are "different rules for different people" on the "Awful Announcing" podcast.

"The whole disingenuousness of sticking to sports is it’s never about the topic," Hill said on the podcast. "It’s always about how people feel about the topic, right? There is a huge sector of people that are anti-vax, as was exposed when we were really in the height and thick of the pandemic. 

"We’re in the middle of a culture war in America, in general, grievance culture, especially — White conservative grievance culture, even more specifically. And, so, there are certain opinions that’s not going to create the level of outrage that it did maybe five or six years ago."

Media personality Pat McAfee recently found himself in hot water after Aaron Rodgers insinuated on McAfee's show that Jimmy Kimmel would be on Jeffrey Epstein's client list.

It wasn't the first time Rodgers turned heads with an agenda or a conspiracy theory. Hill said McAfee has a decision to make.
