Charles Barkley<\/strong><\/a> slammed NFL fans who think Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> is ruining football by attending boyfriend Travis Kelce\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Kansas City Chiefs games.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football], you\u2019re just a loser,\u201d Charles, 60, said during the Thursday, February 1, episode of his King Charles<\/em><\/a> show. \u201cYou\u2019re just a loser or a jackass. You\u2019re either A or B. You\u2019re one of the two.\u201d<\/p>\n Guests Gayle King<\/strong> and Bob Costas<\/strong> also weighed in on the hate that Taylor, 34, is getting from some NFL fans.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at all the new people she\u2019s brought to the NFL,\u201d Gayle, 69, said. \u201cYou see young teen girls that are now watching football for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n Bob, 71, argued that Taylor\u2019s political stance might be what has many NFL fans riled up about the media\u2019s attention on her attendance at Travis\u2019 games.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause they don\u2019t like something about Taylor Swift \u2014 either they don\u2019t like the Chiefs or they\u2019ve inferred that Taylor Swift might not be a Trumper \u2014 then they\u2019re annoyed by Taylor Swift,\u201d Bob explained. \u201cI can guarantee that all this news on Fox News would not be happening if she was wearing a MAGA hat. They would love it.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor was first spotted cheering on Travis, 34, in the stands when the Chiefs went up against the Chicago Bears on September 24. Since then, the \u201cBad Blood\u201d singer has attended 11 more games, including the AFC championship when the Chiefs made it to their fourth Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Taylor has received hate from some NFL fans because of the camera\u2019s attention on her in the suites<\/a> during games. Viewers have seen the pop star celebrating with the Kelce family, along with friends like Keleigh Teller<\/strong><\/a> and Brittany Mahomes<\/strong>, during Travis\u2019 games.<\/p>\n Charles, Bob and Gayle aren\u2019t the only celebs going on the offensive for Taylor when it comes to the NFL. The View hosts also defended her from the bizarre outrage her presence has elicited.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, my question is, \u2018What are you so pissed about? Why are you so mad?’\u201d Whoopi Goldber<\/strong>g asked on the \u200bWednesday, January 31, episode of The View<\/em>. \u201cThere\u2019s so, so many things to be angry at in this world. Why are these men toxically masculine?\u201d<\/p>\n Whoopi\u2019s cohost \u200bSara Haines<\/strong> implied Taylor\u2019s success might make some of the \u201cBrads and Chads<\/a>,\u201d a nickname Taylor gave to the annoyed NFL fans, feel inadequate.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re welcomed in as a mom, a girlfriend who doesn\u2019t take up too much attention, a cheerleader. You had to fit those traditional roles. Here comes Taylor Swift,\u201d Sara, 46, said. \u201cShe has more money, therefore more power. She\u2019s more famous, and she\u2019s coming in to see her boyfriend in his home in a football stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n Sara continued by adding that Taylor\u2019s presence at the Chiefs games is \u201cvery uncomfortable for some people, and I would argue it goes beyond men. I would actually say the bias is also existing in women.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor has also made comments about the hate from certain football fans, but for the most part, she\u2019s brushed off the negativity.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don\u2019t know where it is and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m being shown 17 times or once,\u201d the Grammy winner said in her Time<\/em> interview<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I\u2019m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
