Tony Dungy Says Taylor Swift ‘Disenchants’ NFL Fans As a Distraction

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

In a latest interview with Fox Information, the previous NFL participant/coach was requested how he felt about Travis Kelce’s largest fan, and he stated the “Taylor Swift effect” takes away from on-field motion … occurring to match her to outdoors noise now infecting the sport itself.

TD stated, “That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now. There’s so much on the outside coming in. Entertainment value and different things taking away from what really happens on the field.”

Dungy’s not some simply loud-mouthed commentator both … the man’s obtained 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.

After all, Taylor’s been a frequent guest in Travis’ suite at Chiefs video games since mid-September and even confirmed up as lately as New Year’s Eve in opposition to the Bengals. She’ll reportedly hit up the playoff recreation in Ok.C. in opposition to the Dolphins tonight regardless of ice-cold temperatures.

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

Keep in mind, Taylor shot daggers on the GG host throughout his rough opening monologue when he stated, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL — on the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots to Taylor Swift.”

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