Nate Burleson rightfully rips NFL fans who hate on a promo with Taylor Swift in it

Here we ago again with this nonsense.

The NFL is ready to be back starting on Thursday, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens, which means we might see Taylor Swift at the Week 1 season opener to root on Travis Kelce.

And that will usher in another round of unnecessary vitriol aimed at the star. Actually, that’s already started with an NFL promo video that featured Swift a few times.

Never mind that it also features the Chargers fan who became a meme and the legendary Dolly Parton in her Cowboys cheerleader outfit. Oh, and there’s Tommy DeVito’s agent, too.

Weirdly, I don’t see any complaints about them.

Nate Bureson went in on the criticism on Wednesday, rightfully so:

“Who cares? Wipe the drool off your tank top and put some pants on and get out your momma’s basement! I don’t understand what the big deal is. Every other sport can show celebrities at their games. … Get out of your feelings!”
