Why Taylor Swift is GOOD for the NFL

The mysterious romance between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caused quite the uproar. Some are thrilled at the unlikely pairing; many think the entire relationship is nothing more than a publicity stunt; while others are praying for a swift (pun intended) breakup.

While Jason Whitlock has shown skepticism toward the pair since their debut, former NFL player Warren Sapp is “all on board.”

“You got a problem with the NFL pandering to Swifties?” asks Jason.

“I always say, ‘The bigger the crowd, the better the stage,”’ says Sapp. “I mean, we’re talking about people who normally wouldn’t watch football that’s engaged in the game right now.”

Further, Sapp isn’t worried that the relationship between Swift and Kelce is serious enough to cause any real damage.

Back in 2016, Kelce filmed “a reality show,” in which he dated “50 women from 50 states,” Sapp tells Jason, so there’s a slim chance that his fling with Taylor will last long.

Sapp also thinks that Swift is “a marketing genius” and that this ordeal is more about getting the “Swifties … in line for the purchase and in line for the ticket” for her upcoming movie.

Regardless of the reasoning behind Swift's and Kelce’s relationship, Sapp is supportive because “the bigger the crowd, the better the show and the more people watching.”
