Taylor Swift Fans Were Very Upset About Eminem Being On TV During Lions Game

Before the Detroit Lions took on the Los Angeles Rams in their NFC Wild Card match-up Sunday night, lifelong Lions fan Eminem had a message for Matthew Stafford.

“You owe me this favor, bro. I was there for you when you won it. I rapped for you. Can you just let us have this one? Just this one?!” the Real Slim Shady begged the former Lions’ quarterback.

“I was there for you when you won it. I rapped for you, Stafford.”@Eminem just asking for a simple favor from Matthew Stafford.

So, as one might expect, during the broadcast of the Lions’ playoff game cameras found their way to Eminem on multiple occasions to get his reactions.

Also, as one should expect, many Taylor Swift fans were beside themselves, calling out “double standard” because people weren’t complaining about all the camera shots of Eminem like they do when their girl is shown during Kansas City Chiefs games.

“Eminem is ruining the NFL”

“I don’t watch football to see superstars”

“Why do I hate him so much?”

“Why do I have to see his ugly face?”

“Why does he annoy me so much?”

If you are pumped when they show Eminem at an NFL game then you can miss me with any Taylor Swift hate. https://t.co/ClJOnUcnjM

“The same MAGATs who cry Taylor Swift (female) is ruining football (by simply being there and cheering) are strangely quiet about Eminem (male) being there and cheering!” read another comment. “The crowd of 65,000 loved it, singing Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ at the Rams/Lions game.”

Chiefs fans really trying to compare Eminem to Taylor Swift… 😭🤣 https://t.co/roFyLd9208

“I see the NFL is using Eminem to promote their product the same way they are using Taylor Swift but I don’t see the same complaints,” another person complained. “It’s almost like the hate towards Taylor is rooted in misogyny. All she has done is attend the games. She hasn’t said a word or made a single video.”

Why is it okay for Eminem to rock out and cheer at NFL games, but if Taylor Swift does it, it’s distracting? #Swifties https://t.co/ygCEdluKTQ

There’s just one problem with the comparisons between the NFL showing Taylor Swift during every Chiefs game and Eminem during a Lions playoff game…

Eminem has been a Lions fan since birth and Detroit, until Sunday night, hadn’t won a playoff game since 1991.

Taylor Swift has only been a Chiefs fan for a few months and it’s because she’s dating the team’s star tight end. If she and Travis Kelce ever break up, what are the chances she keeps that suite at Arrowhead Stadium?

Well said Gio! @WFANmornings it may be more annoying that an army of women who all have the same profile continue posting videos of Eminem, who is a life long Lions fan, being shown twice at the Lions game as if it’s ANYTHING like Taylor Swift. Aka begging for attention & likes. pic.twitter.com/0XM9z1tHtm

It would seem, based on all of the social media mentions of the two musicians that there is only one correct way to settle this.
