Swift a cancer in NFL

I’ve been watching football for 30+ years, and Taylor Swift is the absolute worst thing ever to hound this sport. Good grief, so, soooooooooo much bombardment with Swift dancing in her miniskirt at the latest game, and nonstop stories of her gasping and covering her face when Kelce got tackled. First off, Swift is a self reported Eagles fan, yet she is a phony supporting the Chiefs. Do we need to be constantly inundated with the nachos and outfits she wears to games? How biased will the NFL be to make sure the Chiefs don’t suck to ensure there is maximum viewership and apparel sales driven Swift zombies?
Swift is a cancer on the sport. She needs to go away. |

I don't disagree with most of this rant, but why wouldn't you cheer for your boyfriend's team? |

| I'd suggest you contact the NFL and Fox. The coverage they provide during the game is a decision from the highest corporate levels. Showing Swift all the time is not a result of a bunch of 14 year olds begging the network. Business execs from the league and TV are behind this. |

| It may be annoying to you and long-time fans but I have a high school DD and she watched the entire game last night with a friend. Imagine all the teenage and young 20 somethings who tuned in last night. I think the NFL needs to expand its fan base, no? |

I don't think any of these Swift fans watching are actually expanding the NFL fan base. They are only watching to catch glimpses of Swift and her friends. It is more like Beatlemania. They have no interest in football and when they break up, they will never watch an NFL game again. They are obsessed with a pop star, not a sport. |

| The sheep nature of swifties is really odd. Your kid who never has liked football watched the whole game because swift was there? Does she not have her own mind and interests? |

| OP, I agree the excessive fawning by the NFL and the broadcaster is so annoying for anyone who wants to watch the game. I hope it does down soon. |

| It’s not Swift’s fault. She’s just living her life and the media really exploits any and all footage because she has a huge fan base (and base that hates her) so it generates views and dialogue including this post. And is she really the worst thing to happen to football? Don’t be so dramatic. I’m not even a Swift fan. |

The NFL is happy to get the ratings bump and hopes that a few of the new viewers enjoy the game. At the very least, Kelce and the Chiefs could pick up some fans! Look at how his jersey sales have popped. |

The NFL is the problem here. After the first week they bombarded everyone with it. They are only in it for ratings, so if they can get women ages 15-45 interested in football, that's a huge win for them.

I don’t watch football but it’s on in my house all weekend. I usually pop in to see the score or see how long it will be until the game is over, and each time I was in there for the Chiefs game, Taylor was on the screen.

NP Obviously her interest is Swift. No need to be so vile and condescending about someone's teenager! |
