Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs Vs Eagles

Someone explain to me the hate for Taylor Swift, please. Is it because she gives millions to charity? Is she a threat to your self respect? Is it the 14 seconds of screen time she gets during a Chiefs game? If it's because of screen time during a game, just wondering what your thoughts were concerning Joe Burrows' parents or Randy Moss when watching LSU back in the day? If it's just a political thing, fine, I'll just ignore it, but if it's something else going on, I'd like to know.

Thank you. :claps:
I don't understand the venom either. What could possibly be the issue with the NFL trying to 'humanize' the game? When they show the players' spouses & families, or just notable people in general, why is that so hard for some folks to stomach? Personally I enjoyed seeing Burrow's folks supporting him. Same for Moss being displayed on TV when his boy was making big plays.

I know absolutely nothing about Taylor Swift except that she is a well paid entertainer who has a huge following and is currently in a relationship with a very popular player on a very successful team. Why wouldn't the NFL want the viewing public to see the interest that celebrities have for the game? As long as they aren't trying to broadcast their image or attempt an interview while the actual plays are taking place on the field, I'm okay with seeing these celebrities on my screen as much as I enjoy see the cameras zoom in to the costumed & frenzied fans going nuts in the stadium.

Frankly I enjoyed seeing Sir Paul McCartney get his cameo while showing that he has a love for the game and for the city. To me, the whole booing of Taylor Swift just reeked of inner jealousy; like she was somehow trying to take something that belongs to them. I don't get the hate. In fact I'm really glad that this sport I enjoy is so widely popular that for a few hours all these household names who generally live in the limelight for most of their lives can become like the rest of us and cheer for their favorite team. And if they are genuinely there solely for the publicity and exposure... who cares?!?!? It doesn't change my life one bit. Why should I act like a brat? :shrug:
