Skip Bayless' biggest problem with the Chiefs' win over the Texans in Kansas City on Saturday wasn't the controversial referee or the player-coach skirmish on the Houston sideline.
On the contrary, the former FS1 and ESPN host was furious when he saw Caitlin Clark sitting next to Taylor Swift in a VIP suite.
“WAIT, CAITLIN CLARK IS IN THE ARROWHEAD BOX WITH TAYLOR SWIFT???” Bayless wrote about X and tried to strengthen his argument using the caps lock. “CAITLIN, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SEEN WITH HER. YOU ARE BIGGER THAN THEM.”
It's unclear why Bayless considers Clark “bigger” than the world-famous pop star, but at least he continued in all caps for his final five words of advice: “STAY ON YOUR OWN PATH.”
The social media talk 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 on the allegations and his lawyer did not return DailyMail.com's requests for comment.
However, in response to Bayless' message to Clark, critics were quick to seize on the lawsuit and its specific claim that he offered a hairstylist $1.5 million for sex.

'You should bid [Clark] 1.5 million,” someone responded to X.
Another suggested that Bayless should “offer her a million to watch the game with you.”
“Are you still allowed to talk about women in public?” one person joked.
But despite all the references to the pending lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles earlier this month, the majority of commenters simply told Bayless to mind his business.
“Maybe you'll focus on your lawsuit and stop bothering these two women,” one person wrote.
'This doesn't make any sense!!!' responded one irate commenter. 'Let my goat live her life!'
“Skip,” another added, “she's grown.”
Clark's presence in Arrowhead Stadium's VIP suite should hardly come as a surprise.
Not only is she a lifelong Chiefs fan, but the Indiana Fever guard was recently a guest on New Heights, the popular podcast hosted by Kansas City tight end and Mr. Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce.
Many respondents took advantage of the open lawsuit Bayless and Fox Sports were facing
Others said Bayless should mind his own business and not approach women in public
Much of the lawsuit focuses on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August 2024.
Bayless is accused of offering hairdresser Noushin Faraji $1.5 million for sex, while Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon is accused of groping her bottom.
FS1 host Joy Taylor is accused of dismissing Faraji's sexual harassment complaints against Bayless and Dixon and telling the hairstylist to “get over it.”
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Bayless and Taylor and her foundation for comment.
Fox released a brief statement.
“We take these allegations seriously and will allow the legal process to take its course,” the network statement said. “We have no further comment at this time.”
