It appears that Pat McAfee isn’t the only one to call out fans upset about Taylor Swift being in the Football, Colin Cowherd did too.
“There’s a lot of really weird, lonely, insecure men out there,” Cowherd said. “The fact that a pop star — the world’s biggest pop star — is dating a star tight end who had one of his greatest games ever, and the network puts them on the air briefly, then it bothers you, what does that say about your life?
He then accused the critics of lying when they say they “just want to watch football.”
“Did you know, statistically, in a three-and-a-half-hour NFL playoff broadcast — or regular season broadcast — just 18 minutes are actual football,” Cowherd said. “And we have the data. We have the numbers. You don’t turn away. There’s coaches cutaways; they show fans in Buffalo on fire, commercials, reviews… Eighteen minutes of real football. For the record, about the length of five Taylor Swift songs.”
Cowherd cited a report that states the average screen time for Taylor Swift is just 25 seconds throughout the entire broadcast. Cowherd doubled down and called out the standard when theirs a celebrity sighting.
“Matthew McConaughey — ‘Alright, alright, alright’ — love him!” Cowherd continued. “Drake, on everything; Spike Lee, Knicks games; Eminem, Michigan sporting events. We celebrate it. Eighties, ’90s, Jack Nicholson Lakers games? It’s cool. ‘Saw Jack!’ But a talented and beautiful woman is on the air — one who would never pay attention to lonely men — and it bothers them.”
At this point, it is a little outrageous that fans are even upset about it. Swift and Travis Kelce have been together since July. That’s six almost seven months now. She brings legitimate brand value to the NFL. You can bet your bottom dollar that they will continue showing Swift at Chiefs games when she’s generating $331.5 million in value. As long her and Kelce are together and by the looks of it, they’re happy together.
“There’s a stat out there — it’s kind of uncomfortable for you sad guys — that 50% of men never have real intimacy with a woman. That means the other 50% have multiple intimate relationships with women; and the ones that don’t are angry and sad and lonely, and they are often misogynistic and resent women who didn’t give them the time they think they deserve.”
