Wow. American Football is great. And it is the most intellectual of sports. Baseball is next. Football is not played by overweight men. The lineman may be overweight, not any others. Certainly Travis is not. The brain issue is an issue but reseach shown is not an issue for 95% of the people that play the game at a pro level. Quite popular in the UK and in Germany and there will be teams there in the next 10 years. A lot of athletes are dumb. Some football players are dumb but even they are quite smart. Pro football requires every player to know just based on a set of code words over 1,000 plays that are possible in each game. No one plays pro football and is that dumb. Why is this a Europe vs US thing? There really is not that much difference between average people everywhere. |

There is a group of people who generally hate athletes.
They hate they get into college ahead of their kids, they hate that they make lots of money, they even hate athletes who play sports that don’t make lots of money. Tgey hate when they get the girl Maybe an athlete beat them up in HS. Idk. |
It’s not just because of his accent and looks, Joe Alwyn for example posted about Gaza, repeatedly. Do you think Travis Kelce has even heard of the conflict? He’s just not the type. As one pp alluded, I know a buffoon when I hear him talking. |
You're seriously saying someone is unintelligent if they aren't posting about politics or world events? Those are the type of people I block on social media, I prefer to get my information from reputable sources, not some opinionated celebrity. |
Good lord you’re insufferable. Yes of course he’s heard of Gaza - he’s also under a contract that restricts his ability to post at will. All pro athletes are. But why would he? If he did you’d be screaming for him to shut up, stay in his lane and just play football. You all can’t have it both ways but I see it here all the time- celebrities/athletes are criticized for speaking out and now for not. |
Kelcey is dyslexic and people often misinterpret their lack of literary intelligence as unintelligent. Kelcey did do a public service announcement for getting the vaccine. (Why Fox News hates him) that shouldn’t be political but sadly it is. Many Americans hate athletes explained above^^^^. |
Have you heard him talking during his podcast? Does that sound like someone articulate and intelligent to you? |
So in your estimation, why do you care what he has to say about Gaza then? Since that’s your litmus test for - what exactly I don’t know. Yes in fact I do listen to the podcast. He definitely brings more levity to the show but when it comes time to explaining how plays work, how they’re developed, what it means for the game, etc. if you’ll notice he always does a better job than Jason does. |
My point isn’t that he’s not an excellent football player, it’s that he’s not sophisticated or worldly. I personally value those attributes and based on her obsession with Matty and long history with Joe, I think Taylor does too. |
Yes I’ve listened a little and watched his brother’s documentary. He has an extremely high EQ. I find his self deprecating humor about his dyslexia a model for kids with LDs. |
Except she realized through mature eyes it’s egotistical and narcissistic and now wants a down to earth, kind, family oriented, supportive and strong partner. |
My point wasn't that he was an excellent football player (which he is). My point is that he communicates the intricacies of the sport extremely well. There's a segment called no dumb questions, where fans ask about the rules, the why's, etc. He explains it all much better than Jason does. In other words, he's intelligent, despite your continued stance that he's not. |
Matty is a drug addict, and Joe is an unsuccessful actor. Not exactly winners and probably exhausting to date. Travis is fun, publicly supportive of Taylor, and already one of the best in his field. I’d choose Travis too. |
This. I really do not think Matty and Joe are the bastions of worldliness and sophisticated because they happen to be white and have British accents. Joe, despite his entertainment industry connections has not been successful in his acting career. In interviews his demeaner is pretentious and he withholds information as if he is too good for the entertainment industry. He was also too insecure and threatened by Taylor's brilliance and success. Matty is....Matty. He is a hot mess and its ludicrious to him him serious consideration as husband material. Travis is self assured, fun, hard working AND mega successful in his chosen profession. He adores Taylor and is happy to entertain her fans and support her. He is a huge upgrade. |
