LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift's presence in the NFL is once again drawing attention. This time, it is due to remarks made by Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby. In a recent podcast, Crosby expressed his discomfort with the extensive coverage Swift receives at NFL games, inducing wrath among the Swifties on the internet.

Swift recently made headlines when she shared a lighthearted video from a Las Vegas nightclub, where she was celebrating her boyfriend Travis Kelce's Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII, prompting fans to shower the 'Lover' singer with praise.

On the other hand, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, who has previously criticized Swift, voiced her support for the singer ahead of Super Bowl 2024. Lahren argued that the NFL is to blame for overexposing Swift and not the singer herself, labeling the league's actions as exploitation of her image and the game.

Maxx Crosby asserts he 'doesn't like seeing' Taylor Swift between NFL games

According to the Daily Mail, Maxx Crosby has openly expressed his frustration with the overwhelming focus on Swift within the NFL, although he acknowledges its business rationale.

In an appearance on YouTuber Bradley Martyn's 'Raw Talk' podcast, Crosby discussed the singer's pervasive presence in NFL broadcasts. He said, "They push it hard, especially in the beginning of the year, that's all they talked about. Um..they still talk about it obviously, but I mean it is, Taylor Swift and it's the Super Bowl champ so it's like, I mean what else are they going to talk about? They're trying to get the views."

Crosby added, "It's a business at the end of the day so I'm not surprised by it, but yeah, as a football guy I would you know, I don't like seeing all they talk about is Taylor Swift. I'm like bro I want to watch the football game. But, there's no disrespect to her."



 

The controversy surrounding Swift's prominence in NFL coverage is not new. Previously, Fox Sports commentator Skip Bayless stirred up controversy by suggesting that Swift may have been a distraction, potentially contributing to the Kansas City Chiefs' 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, much to the chagrin of Swift's fans.

Internet users say Taylor Swift 'didn't distract the game'

Swifties enraged by Maxx Crosby's remarks defended Taylor Swift as they expressed their opinions on Facebook.

A user wrote, "Don't complain to us, talk to the News Media."

Another user asserted, "She didn’t distract the game !"

A user commented, "You can’t deny the millions of fans that watched just because of her and they’ve never watched the football game in their entire life 😭😂🤣."

Another Swiftie wrote, "Sick of what? She gets 30 -60 seconds of air time per game. That’s absolutely nothing in a 4 hour game. People just want things to complain about."
