Few people worldwide have a following as large as musician Taylor Swift. After recent negative comments aimed at the superstar by former NFL head coach Tony Dungy, though, it wasn’t an army of “Swifties” that came to her defense, but the NFL community.
Following an appearance on Fox News in which he said fans were “disenchanted” by Swift’s involvement with tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, Dungy was destroyed by many on social media, including an extreme dressing down from Rich Eisen.
“Blaming Taylor Swift for anything to do with Travis Kelce or the Chiefs or the state of the NFL or viewing enjoyment of it is the silliest/dumbest take I’ve heard in a long time,” Eisen posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
While Eisen’s blunt response might have come as a shock, he wasn’t alone in showing disdain for Dungy’s comments.
