The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years after beating the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday in the AFC Championship game.

The Chiefs, of course, will also be bringing along Taylor Swift. The pop star is dating Travis Kelce and has attended 12 games this year, including all three playoff victories leading up to the Super Bowl.

Many fans watching the games have complained about Swift being shown so much, but in reality, it may be something deeper than her being shown on broadcasts.

Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd went off on those fans in a three-minute rant on his show.
“There’s a lot of really weird, lonely, insecure men out there,” Cowherd said. “The fact that a pop star — the world’s biggest pop star — is dating a star tight end who had one of his greatest games ever, and the network puts them on the air briefly, then it bothers you, what does that say about your life?

Cowherd also accused critics of lying when they insist they “just want to watch football.”
“Did you know, statistically, in a three-and-a-half-hour NFL playoff broadcast — or regular season broadcast — just 18 minutes are actual football,” Cowherd said. “And we have the data. We have the numbers. You don’t turn away. There’s coaches cutaways; they show fans in Buffalo on fire, commercials, reviews… Eighteen minutes of real football. For the record, about the length of five Taylor Swift songs.”

He also cited a report that revealed Swift’s average screen time is just 25 seconds throughout the entire broadcast.

Cowherd furthered his point by calling out the double standard he believes exists when it comes to celebrity sightings at games.

“Matthew McConaughey — ‘Alright, alright, alright’ — love him!” Cowherd continued. “Drake, on everything; Spike Lee, Knicks games; Eminem, Michigan sporting events. We celebrate it. Eighties, ’90s, Jack Nicholson Lakers games? It’s cool. ‘Saw Jack!’ But a talented and beautiful woman is on the air — one who would never pay attention to lonely men — and it bothers them.

“There’s a stat out there — it’s kind of uncomfortable for you sad guys — that 50% of men never have real intimacy with a woman. That means the other 50% have multiple intimate relationships with women; and the ones that don’t are angry and sad and lonely, and they are often misogynistic and resent women who didn’t give them the time they think they deserve.”
Swift, in Chiefs red and a diamond friendship bracelet, was all smiles on the field after the game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore as the team moves on to the Super Bowl.

Fans may be upset at seeing her but they will deal with it for at least one more game as the pop star is expected to be at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
