The duality of football fans. Two different reactions for two different people. Both with an equal effect on Sunday’s game:

I love football fans. We’re such neanderthals. One minute, we’re telling a pop star she’s ruining football, and the next we’re doing Eagles chants with an All-Pro center and begging him to come back for one more year.

I think this might be labeled under the hot take category currently, but I like Taylor Swift and I don’t think she’s ruining football. There I said it. I’m more sick of seeing that Apple commercial of that electrical socket rapping than I am of the half second TSwift graces our televisions. Without TSwift we probably don’t have Jason Kelce drinking beers and going tarps off in Buffalo last week.

What I do enjoy is people losing their minds. Without Taylor Swift, do the refs throw that flag for holding on Isaiah Likely? Maybe. Or maybe the allegations of a “rigged league” just shows us how much NFL refereeing sucks and needs to be overhauled. I mean, some of these spots in the playoffs have been borderline communist. How are we still allowing the naked eye to judge where a guy went down instead of installing a chip in the ball? If you ask me, more eyeballs on the game means more scrutiny of the NFL’s policies. Think about the change a Bradberry-type holding call would bring if it’s against the Chiefs this year and the 49ers win. You don’t think the Swifties can enact change? Well you’re a fucking idiot. They can sway elections.

P.S. Is there a chance Taylor Swift leaves Travis Kelce for Brock Purdy if he loses in the Super Bowl? She loves twinks, the color red, and prefers to move through the air in short distances. Makes you think.
