Colin Cowherd counts as a Swiftie and slams those who criticized her appearance during NFL broadcasts.
Since the “Shake It Off” pop sensation started dating Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce this season, she has appeared at numerous of his games, resulting in numerous NFL telecasts. Swift was seen cheering on her boyfriend, and many people were supporting her. Much to the chagrin of some soccer fans.
While there have been complaints from some sections of the football fan base, Cowherd is not one of those who think the hatred is justified.
in fact, On Tuesday’s episode of FS1 “The Herd”sports pundits chimed in with their rant against Swift and coverage of her presence at Chiefs games.
“There are a lot of really strange, lonely, insecure men out there,” Cowherd said on the show. “The fact that a pop star, the biggest pop star in the world, is dating a star who had the greatest match ever, and that match is briefly aired on a network, bothers you. It bothers you. What does it tell us about the life of a “life?” Sometimes judge people for the stupid things that bother them. By doing so, you will find out a lot about the person. ”
Cowherd went on to discuss how a televised football game is more than just a football game.

“Did you know that statistically, out of a three-and-a-half hour football playoff broadcast, or regular season broadcast, only 18 minutes are actually football?”
Swift’s face has been shown numerous times at the games she attends. Patrick Mahomes celebrates in suite with wife Brittany Or the Kelce family — Cowherd cited a New York Times report. Singers are usually on screen for less than 25 seconds.
She was shown for 32 seconds four times during CBS’ broadcast of Sunday’s AFC title game, slightly exceeding that average, the newspaper reported.
Cowherd said it would have been nonsense for CBS not to air Swift. The network will also broadcast the Grammy Awards.
He went on to say that people didn’t show the same level of anger when celebrities like Spike Lee and Jack Nicholson were seen at basketball games.
“But there are talented, beautiful women on the air who would never pay attention to lonely men, and that bothers them,” Cowherd added.
Whether or not she makes it past the 25 televised seconds in the 2024 Super Bowl, when the Chiefs take on the Ravens on February 11, her presence at the big game in Las Vegas will inevitably be met with much fanfare. will collect.
