Despite the controversy, Rodgers' paid appearances on ESPN will continue. Kimmel, also a Disney employee, expressed his anger on Twitter and threatened legal action. The situation has caused tension within ESPN, as both Kimmel and Rodgers are associated with the network's parent company, Disney. Pat McAfee, whose show Rodgers regularly appears on, acknowledged the inappropriateness of Rodgers' comment and mentioned internal conflicts at ESPN.
