Role model for teen daughter  - she’s wonderful

Sad she was booed at superbowl :/ but I wish she had been more diplomatic and worn both green and red - she did grow up in Pa and was a long time Eagles fan. I get that TK is her fiancé but the Philly fans saw her as a traitor. I think it would have been wise to give a nod to both her past and her future by showing support for both. Then again, it doesn’t take much to rile the eagles fans.

For me, I can’t really reconcile turning your back on your supposed loyalty to a family/hometown team for your boyfriend as being a role model for womanhood. 
But I think she feigned fandom to the eagles because it played well with her fans. Ms. Americana is just becoming more and more true: sell out to the highest bidder!

I think it's entirely normal to root for your loved one's team. Same as parents who went to a certain college, but of course they will support their child's college in a game. Affinities and affiliations change. Why should she stick with the team of people she doesn't know personally v. her boyfriend's and current friends? Makes zero sense to expect this weird behavior from anyone.[/quote]

Yes! My DD is a D1 athlete. I will always root for my alma mater in every sport except when my daughter’s team plays my school. Then, damn straight I’m 100 percent rooting for my DD to win!![/quote]

Good for you, but you aren’t supporting a team because your daddy liked it or your boyfriend is a player.  You are supporting your Alma mater. Taylor is just defining herself through the men in her life (as usual).
You can figure out if there is more misogyny in Taylor herself for doing that or in booing her for her switch.  Both seem to me like coming from a place of women and men giving into men’s wishes. [/quote]

This makes absolutely NO sense. People support important people in their lives. That's how it should be. You won't find anyone out there male or female supporting the rival team when their significant other plays. You are the one ascribing a faux feminist agenda to a completely normal behavior everyone exhibits.[/quote]

No, not everyone does that. You are completely overgeneralizing.  You don’t have to support the fandom to support the person. You support the person and their team and watch games with them, but you don’t have to adopt fan persona. I never wore a foot ball jersey to school just because my dad liked the Redskins. I never said I was a fan because my dad was.  I liked gymnasts and ice skaters and I owned that.  We supported each other, but not by wearing merch and claiming we were fans of the other team/interests.

People do it all the time.  Remember the cowboys/redskins dueling houses back in the day? Maybe you are too young, but it used to happen all the time.  Most WAGS HAVE to support the team to keep helping their player earn money and stay in the relationship, but Taylor doesn’t need to do that, yet she still switched to Chiefs to fit in.

Your dad didn't play for the Redskins. If he did, are you seriously saying you'd not have cheered him on? [/quote]

The PP never said her dad played for the Redskins.   :roll: [/quote]

Omg… put down the wine. [/quote]
