Tony Dungy‘s stirring up unhealthy blood with the NFL’s new golden goose in Taylor Swift … primarily saying she distracts from the game, which he thinks is a really unhealthy factor.

In a current interview with Fox Information, the previous NFL participant/coach was requested how he felt about Travis Kelce’s largest fan, and he mentioned the “Taylor Swift impact” takes away from on-field motion … happening to check her to exterior noise now infecting the sport itself.

TD mentioned, “That is the factor that is disenchanting individuals with sports activities now. There’s a lot on the surface coming in. Leisure worth and various things taking away from what actually occurs on the sector.”

Dungy’s not some simply loud-mouthed commentator both … the man’s received credentials to again up his claims. Tony performed three seasons within the NFL earlier than embarking on a training profession which earned him a Tremendous Bowl title and a spot within the NFL Corridor of Fame.

In fact, Taylor’s been a frequent visitor in Travis’ suite at Chiefs video games since mid-September and even confirmed up as just lately as New 12 months’s Eve towards the Bengals. She’ll reportedly hit up the playoff recreation in Okay.C. towards the Dolphins tonight regardless of ice-cold temperatures.

We do not know if TS has seen the interview but, however we now have a reasonably good concept of what her response may be … if her viral Golden Globes stare-down of Jo Koy is any indication.

Bear in mind, Taylor shot daggers on the GG host throughout his tough opening monologue when he mentioned, “The massive distinction between the Golden Globes and the NFL — on the Golden Globes we now have fewer digicam pictures to Taylor Swift.”

A seemingly innocent joke that did not go over effectively, however Dungy and Koy appear to have the identical level right here … Taylor herself is not the problem. It is the NFL tearing focus away from its main product, its personal video games, to seize curiosity from a brand new viewers.

Nonetheless, it is clearly fairly simple to catch strays while you’re simply making an attempt to help your man … hopefully Taylor can shake it off earlier than Saturday evening’s 5 PM PT kickoff.
