Taylor Swift has shattered virtually every major record in the music industry, and as she lives her best life supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s also breaking the brains of right-wingers.
For months now, the digital fever swamps have been fuming over everything and anything Swift-related. Her popularity, the success of the Eras Tour, her relationship, her appearances at NFL games, and especially her politics. The Chiefs won the AFC championship on Sunday, punching the team’s (and potentially Swift’s) ticket to the Super Bowl in February. In response, long-standing conspiracy theories around the NFL’s “scriptwriting” for football seasons clashed with right-wing conspiracy theorists claiming Swift’s involvement with Kelce is part of a deep state plot to gin up support for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. The result is as ugly as it is stupid.
Former presidential candidate and MAGA blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted on Monday that he wondered “who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” adding, “I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”
I’m absolutely sick of all the gambling ads, and while it isn’t NFL, fucking Manfred has ruined the beauty of classic uniforms like the Cardinals and Yankees by slapping ads in them. I am sick of all these ads and money ruining all my favorite sports.
I stopped eatching the NFL after Kroneke absolutely fucked St. Louis and I think i am about to be completely done with college football with the way things are going there as well. I hate watching capitalism take down everything i love with it
Cfb has always been my primary obsession in the sports world, only pay attention to the NFL for fantasy and small talk points. But you’re right all of the things that made me love it are being ruined by capitalism
Ramsfugees are always welcome on the chiefs bandwagon. The overwhelming attitude was always fuck kroenke. I’m not a Missourian anymore but Midwestern rams fans always get a free pass to bandwagon wherever they want imo.
If you’re looking for unique ownership, the Packers are probably the best example of that. I’ve always been jealous of their ownership model.
I mean, obviously, unbridled capitalism is destroying everything because a “constant growth mindset” is just “cancer” with bonus words, but don’t let it steal your joy too.
I wasn’t willing to be a Chiefs fan when i lived in KC during the Matt Cassell years, so i wont bandwagon on now. Baseball will always be my true love, but i am enjoying my local ECHL hockey team in the winter. Go Walleye!
US rugby, my friend. It’s the last bastion.
Until people start watching it. Any significant concentration of eyes will spawn ads.
