Philadelphia Eagles fans may have handed Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs extra motivation for free ahead of Super Bowl LIX by designing an incredibly disrespectful t-shirt towards Taylor Swift.
The 35-year-old popstar is from Pennsylvania and initially had a soft sport for the Eagles, but has since chosen to root for the Chiefs since she began a relationship with the NFL tight end back in August 2023.
Her presence in the NFL has been a subject of controversial debate, with fans claiming she’s a negative influence on Andy Reid‘s team whilst others claim the league is forcing her image too much as a marketing tool.
However, Eagles fans have taken it too far. A shirt containing the phrase “f**k Taylor Swift” with the famous bird logo adorning it has gone viral online and has split opinion, with some arguing it’s in bad taste.
Dov Kleiman wrote to X.com, formerly Twitter, “Awful: #Eagles fans have made shirts to give out cursing out Taylor Swift for the Super Bowl: “F**k Taylor Swift” There’s no place for this in sports.”
A second said, “All that does is poke the bear. They’re tugging on Superman’s cape.”
And a third commented, “That’s Philly for you.”
But not everyone is against the idea as some fans back the t-shirt, adding that Swift and the NFL have brought it on themselves for the amount of screentime she gets; which is seldom more than 60 seconds per game.
One critic wrote, “There’s no place in sports to put her on TV constantly. We don’t give a f**k about Swift yet we are forced to see her every game.”
And another said, “Exactly!! Also, the refs cheat at the behest of the NFL to ensure the Chiefs win – to get the whole Taylor Swift fandom aboard w. the NFL.”
Whilst a third user concluded, “the NFL has shoved her down our throats. They created this animosity. Besides she has had so many BFs this is probably true.”
