Just something to think about.
This is probably going to tick some people off, and I hope it does. But I’m going to keep on sharing it and saying it. And once again, I am not a Swiftie, but I am a human being, a Dad AND, a Monstrous Football fan.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

Reading this and thinking... I have to admit that I myself was annoyed last football season with how much the NFL promoted Swift during the televised games. Why? ... well I've never seen anyone else... ever... get the attention during a game. It would seem that She has nothing to do with football other than dating a player. But yet the cameras would focus on her multiple times during the televised game. All good, having a good time cheering on the Chiefs. Once per game would seem close to normal, but multiple times per game? She was getting more camera time than the on field sports announcers/interviewers. I mean, I've got no issues with her personally, or her dating a player, but all the attention the NFL gave her... idoeno... seemed over the top exposure that no onevelse ever had gotten. There's been other social worth personalities attending games that get a single 3 second mention and done. Many, not at all.
So why her... so many times?
No doubt she brought Revenue to the NFL. Perhaps to, even a bit, keep prices to watch a game a little lower.
But I digress... the point is ... think about what you are teaching your children by your actions.
And this goes for anything, any topic, any social issue.
