To Everybody Complaining About Seeing Taylor Swift During NFL Games, Remember It Could Be Worse

Ahead of the NFL Wild Card matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, all the talk was surrounding the near-record cold temperatures at Arrowhead Stadium.

But after the game, it seems like all everybody is talking about is Taylor Swift.

Travis Kelce’s girlfriend was on hand to watch the Chiefs dominate the Dolphins, and it seems like a new rule that every time Kelce touches the ball the broadcast has to show a shot of Taylor’s reaction.

And late in the fourth quarter, with the game well in hand for the Chiefs, Taylor and the rest of the suite seemed to be having a blast.

Donna Kelce swag surfing? That’s the real story here.

But all of the attention paid to Taylor Swift seemed to aggravate quite a few fans, who took to social media to express their displeasure at how often Swift was showed during the game:

Taylor Swift has ruined the NFL… this is so cringe. 😡‼️

Time to boycott? pic.twitter.com/fZP62kthZz

I don’t care for the Dolphins but for fricks sake please eliminate the Chiefs. Taylor Swift has ruined the NFL.

However, it seems that all these people are forgetting: Yes, there is something more annoying than Taylor Swift at a football game.

Have we forgotten about Jackson Mahomes already?

Honestly, it’s understandable that people have forgotten about the insufferable little brother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He’s been largely out of the spotlight this season, thanks to not only the attention on Taylor Swift, but also because of his legal troubles…

But I don’t think we should forget how absolutely insufferable this guy has been the past few seasons.

Remember when he was dancing on the field like he had personally just won the Super Bowl last year?

Or this cringeworthy video flaunting “his” wealth as he hopped on a private jet (that his brother undoubtedly paid for).

Or when he posted a video of himself doing a cringey TikTok dance on the memorial to Sean Taylor during a game in Washington?

Jackson Mahomes was seen here dancing on the Sean Taylor “21” logo which was chained off to begin with.

This should infuriate everyone, this is disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/7puweqqOuM

I think we’re forgetting just how terrible it was seeing this guy all over our timelines every NFL Sunday.

I mean, sure, I think the networks are overdoing it with their coverage of Taylor Swift. And even Tony Dungy, current broadcaster and former NFL coach, thinks that the league is risking turning off fans by talking so much about Swift and Kelce’s relationship.

But give me Taylor Swift on my timeline over Jackson Mahomes all day, every day.

The great thing about Taylor Swift is that you basically never hear about Jackson Mahomes anymore

Just remember, it could always be worse.
