NBC broadcaster Tony Dungy reckons Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games is leaving fans disenchanted.
Swift has been front and center at games she’s attended this season ever since striking up a romance with Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

The music superstar has regularly featured on television broadcasts watching on from the stands.
And her presence has led to a new non-football audience even following games.
But Dungy, who won a Super Bowl as a player and a coach, thinks it’s beginning to annoy NFL fans.
The NBC broadcaster spoke to Fox News’s Raymond Arroyo at a Hall of Fame banquet this week in Orlando, Florida.
And he said: “I think we’ll always have sports in some form or fashion. Some people are disenchanted with it.”
Asked to elaborate on the Swift effect, Dungy added: “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.”
Swift wore a custom made Kelce jacket as she watched the Chiefs beat the Dolphins 26-7 on Saturday night.
She was seen ‘swag surfin’ with Kelce’s mom Donna during the fourth quarter with the Chiefs rolling to victory.
And Swift and Kelce were spotting leaving together and holding hands after the game.
Saturday’s playoff win could be Kansas City’s last game at Arrowhead Stadium this season given their No 3 playoff seeding.
Swift was first seen in the suite next to Kelce’s mom at a game in September, and her romance with the NFL tight end was confirmed the following month.
