Are you at all annoyed with the NFL media’s incessant coverage of pop star Taylor Swift?
Well, if so, apparently, her boyfriend — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — thinks you’re “crazy.”
The football star said as much during an interview that aired during the pregame coverage of Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII.

At first, the interview, conducted by CBS Sports’s Tracy Wolfson, seemed to be focused mainly on football.
Then, Wolfson asked a question that took things in a different direction (a direction that NFL fans are getting sick and tired of).
“That postgame celebration of the AFC Championship, the joy, the public display of affection with you and Taylor [Swift], the ‘I love you’s,’ Andy Reid pointing her out in the crowd … That was awesome. What has it been like having Taylor alongside you for this journey?” Wolfson asked.

Kelce of course showered his girlfriend with much praise and adoration, and the interview subsequently took a second to play a montage of clips of Swift attending Chiefs games.
Annoyed yet?
Are you a fan of Travis Kelce?
Yes: 16% (157 Votes)
No: 84% (797 Votes)
You have every reason to be annoyed at this point, especially if you’re an NFL fan looking to watch football rather than all this coverage of a pop star.
Of course, if you are annoyed, you’re not going to like where the CBS interview went next.
“What do you say to those cranky NFL fans that say it’s all a conspiracy theory?” Wolfson asked.

Now, it’s bad enough to call a bunch of reasonable, die-hard NFL fans “cranky” because they like their football coverage to be just that, football coverage.
But calling them crazy? That’s on a whole ’nother level.
“You’re all crazy, every last one of you, you’re crazy,” the NFL star answered.
Now is the “conspiracy” that Taylor Swift is being pushed by the NFL to help bolster her likely Biden endorsement a little out there?

This writer thinks so.
But you see what they did there, right?
Wolfson and Kelce essentially made it seem that all of the “cranky” NFL fans are just crazed conspiracy theorists by bringing both groups up in the same breath.
That isn’t true.

If you’re annoyed by Swift repeatedly popping up in NFL headlines and coverage, you’re not crazy or cranky.
All you are is a football fan.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
