Skip Bayless's biggest problem with the Chiefs' victory over the Texans in Kansas City on Saturday wasn't the controversial officiating or the skirmish between player and coach on the Houston bench.
Rather, the former FS1 and ESPN host became enraged upon seeing Caitlin Clark sitting in a VIP suite next to Taylor Swift.
'WAIT, CAITLIN CLARK IS IN THE ARROWHEAD BOX WITH TAYLOR SWIFT???' Bayless wrote in X, trying to reinforce his argument with the help of caps lock. 'CAITLIN, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SEEN WITH HER. YOU ARE BIGGER THAN HER.'
It's unclear why Bayless thinks Clark is “bigger” than the world-famous pop star, but in any case, she continued in all caps in her final five pieces of advice: “STAY ON YOUR OWN WAY.”
The social media conference came at an awkward time for Bayless, who was recently accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit against the 73-year-old and his former employer, Fox Sports. He has remained silent about the allegations and his lawyer has not responded to DailyMail.com's requests for comment.
However, in responding to Bayless' message to Clark, critics were quick to seize on the lawsuit and the specific claim that she offered a stylist $1.5 million in exchange for sex.

The former FS1 host became enraged when he saw Caitlin Clark sitting next to Taylor Swift.
“You should offer (Clark) 1.5 million,” one person on X responded.
Another suggested Bayless should “offer him a million to watch the game with you.”
—Are you still allowed to talk about women in public? one person joked.
But for all the references to the pending lawsuit, which was filed earlier this month in Los Angeles, most commentators simply told Bayless to mind his business.
“Maybe focus on your lawsuit and stop bothering these two women,” one person wrote.
'This doesn't make sense!!!' responded one furious commenter. 'Let my goat live its life!'
“Skip,” another added, “she's an adult.”
Clark's presence in Arrowhead Stadium's VIP suite should come as no surprise.
Not only is she a lifelong Chiefs fan, but the Indiana Fever guard was recently invited to new heightsthe popular podcast hosted by Kansas City tight end and Mr. Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce.
Much of the lawsuit centers on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile employment issues between 2012 and August 2024.
Bayless is accused of offering stylist Noushin Faraji $1.5 million in exchange for sex, while Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon is accused of groping her butt.
FS1 host Joy Taylor is accused of dismissing Faraji's sexual harassment complaints against Bayless and Dixon, telling the stylist to “get over it.”
DailyMail.com has contacted Bayless and Taylor's representatives and their foundation for comment.
Fox has issued a brief statement.
“We take these allegations seriously and will allow the legal process to take its course,” the network's statement read. “We have no further comment at this time.”
