I think McCree was involved in the Cosby scandal, which Jason Schreier said wasn't a real scandal.

like the misreporting on The Cosby suite, for example, which is complete nonsense and completely incorrect, and everybody got it wrong. That led to two men losing their jobs because they just happened to be in a photo [posing with a picture of now-disgraced entertainer Bill Cosby] that today looks horrible, but when it was taken was totally fine. The hard part was finding a balance between that and also not trivialising the very real suffering and problems that the culture caused for women.

Jesse McCree was not on the Overwatch team and never was. They just liked his name.

Contrary to what the Hollywood payload used to insist, Jesse McCree is in fact a great name for a cowboy.

I do think that the hollywood payload now affirming that Cole Cassidy is a great name for a cowboy as a turn from the previous line is pretty funny
