Charles Barkley Slams ‘Loser’ Football Fans Who Complain About Taylor Swift


Charles Barkley slammed ‘loser’ football fans who complain that Taylor Swift’s romance with Chiefs player Travis Kelce ‘ruined’ the sport

Barkley’s costar, Gayle King, agreed with the NBA all-star, arguing that Swift, 34, claiming the singer has brought a new demographic to the NFL since she began dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce in summer 2023. “You see young teen girls watching football for the first time,” she argued, while their guest host, American sports commentator Bob Costas, theorized that Swift’s politics — in addition to her relationship with Kelce, 34 — may contribute to the recent hate. Swift began speaking up about politics in 2018 when she publicly supported Tennessee’s Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen and criticized his Republican opponent, Marsha Blackburn, due to her stance on LGBTQIA+ issues and women’s rights.
