    I heard she’s got something huge and sinister planned for the upcoming Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

    I sat through the superbowl because family gathering.

    I thought it was mildly dumb that they kept occasionally switching over to Taylor Swift’s booth. “DID WE MENTION POPULAR WOMAN IS ALSO HERE? LOOK AT THE CELEBRITY.”

    One can hope I guess.

    I’m just tired of all the noise about Kelcie/Swift romance and the general public’s fascination for/against it.

        Way to assume that she doesn’t know anything about football, why because she’s a girl? Your misogyny is showing, there’s female NFL refs and executives now, football definitely isn’t just for men anymore.

        Taylor Swift grew up in redneck Tennessee and Eagles crazy Philadelphia, she’s probably had plenty of opportunity to absorb football culture.

        Also you’re assuming the only thing Kelsie can talk about is football, ala the dumb jock stereotype, I’ve played football most of my youth and I’ll tell you first hand that there are all kinds of people on any team.

          Not the person but, you are the one inserting the mysogimy here. It could easily have been a popstar/personality statement, that’s where I thought it was till I read your comment assuming it.

              Slam dunk is a basketball term I think? I thought that made the joke obvious

              I promise it was an attempt at a joke but call me an asshole if you want I guess

                Less a joke and more a snarky sarcastic comment again misogynisticly assuming she wouldn’t know the difference between the two sports.

                But sure asshole, keep digging that hole.

                Again you’re just being that asshole saying asshole things while looking around and asking “what? Why’s everyone mad? Did I offend someone? But it was just a joke” as if that absolves you from judgement.

                  I hate lemmy so much

                  I was thinking pop star is dumb not woman is dumb lmao, there’s zero nuance here

                  I could make the exact same fucking joke if it were Kanye dating a woman athlete for example

        My mind is blown at how completely off the rails that other guy is going about your comments. Holy shit.

        Like yeah, I misunderstood your joke here the way they did. But I get what you were going for.

        Lemmy has a pretty big share of people like that guy that wig out at the drop of a hat, it’s super frustrating to see. Best thing to do is to block when they’re being insufferable, and report when they’re being abusive – which that guy absolutely was. I’m going to be blocking them for sure as there’s no way I want to see anything they have to say after that lunacy – and probably report too depending on this community’s rules.

          Wtf why would you block them? This is prime quality content. Remember, almost every good copypasta started its life as some unhinged rambling.

            You’re right, things like this bring me back to arguing on the gamespot off topic forums back in like 2009 and it’s great. You could always count on that one guy with the Robert Smith avatar to show up and say the craziest shit that later ended up in other people’s signatures.

    She got more screen time than most of the commercials. My guess is the NFL wanted to hook the younger audience to show them how much she cares about the game so the next generation can also ignore the 99% of professional football players getting CTE.

      I would be shocked if she was on screen for more than one total minute across the entire game.

    I’ve seen 1,842+ football fans crying about Taylor Swift and approximately 0 Taylor Swift fans crying about the super bowl.

    Sorry salty football boiz, Taylor Swift matters to people more than one night a year. 🤷

      Did you read it? This is satire about how she, a mega star, will obviously not leave the spotlight.

      I feel like you probably know what The Onion is, but the comment makes it seem like you took it seriously or only responded to the headline. Apologies if you did understand and I’m explaining something you already knew.
