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

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

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

TD mentioned, “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.

In fact, Taylor’s been a frequent guest in Travis’ suite at Chiefs video games since mid-September and even confirmed up as not too long ago as New Year’s Eve towards the Bengals. She’ll reportedly hit up the playoff sport 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 have now a fairly good thought of what her response is perhaps … 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 rough opening monologue when he mentioned, “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 properly, 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.
