could be part of an orchestrated plot to drum up hype for the Democratic Party.
What if it was? Then what? Isn’t that just marketing? Commercialization? I mean… what? Why even care?
There are many fine establishments that allow you to bet on the outcome of NFL games.
So all those conservatives are placing bets now, right?
I wish mainstream outlets would stop propagating this nonsense as news. Stop giving them a platform.
Anything that further divides Conservatives is something I welcome. Especially when they do it to themselves.
WTF? She probably has more fans than the NFL and these morons think she’s getting signal boosted?
Obviously this is a psyop to boost awareness that the Chiefs exist.
Are…are they trying to start something with the Swifties? Because I’m pretty sure Y’all-Quaeda is no match for them, and I’m here for it!
if there’s any side likely to win a civil war in the US its the swifties. If she told her fans to get guns they would.
If she told all her fans to get open carry permits and assault rifles the GOP would all rally behind smart gun control laws and try to raise the minimum age to thwart her.
It bothers me so much to know how stupid I am and also know there are so many people even stupider than me.
Yeah. I’m dumb. I’m also in the top percentile of intelligence. No bueno.
I mean you can’t be that dumb. You speak French.
Tushy!
Think for a moment how stupid the average person is…Then realise that half the population is dumber than that. - George Carlin
*median, but we’ll let it slide, George
It kind of plays into the joke anyway
What’s the difference when talking about people rather than a metric?
Not sure, but in this case it’s a metric about people.
I parse the sentence differently then. The subject is the “average person”, not the “average person’s intelligence”.
My favorite quote of all time.
The problem is that most people overestimate the average person too.
So it’s more like “imagine the average person, and realize around 70% of the population is dumber than that.”
Political brain rot being inserted into everything now days, exhausting.
There’s gonna be three sides to the next civil war: secede, stay, and the swifties; and the swifties are going to have the largest army. I don’t know why they think picking this fight is in any way intelligent.
all this bullshit does is make this heavy metal head want to listen to Swift. Good job numbnuts.

Let’s say it’s all true. Who gives a fuck? Endorsements have been a thing forever.
Do they want to burn her at the stake for witch craft like it’s fucking 1724 because she’s controlling people’s minds and stealing their erections?

That is a bit further down the path they’ve started down with criminalising abortion. They’ve got to decriminalise violence against women before they can actually start burning them. They’re getting there, though.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh described Watters’ commentary as a “conspiracy theory.”
“We are going to shake it off,” she told Politico, referencing a popular Swift song.
Unexpected Pentagon humor
Pentagon humor or secret signal to the swifties? /s
Haters gonna hate hate hate and get blown up by a drone. Oh, I think that was a hospital.

Man I never gave those people much credit, but I’m not sure what’s below giant fucking idiot… DJT maybe?
Sometimes I think we should all just turn around and climb back up the trees. Maybe evolve a little more.
Rock climbing is just glorified monkeying around. Safely.
You are in good company.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

Agreed. As do Terry Pratchett’s as well.

Conservatives: TAYLOR SWIFT DID THIS TO GET JOE BIDEN REELECTED!!!1!!
Plus Taylor Swift who has been immensely popular for like…What, over a decade now? Only now suddenly wielding her influence to run the government or something? Please, she’s rich, popular, and in business, she basically operates as her own independent nation without needing to run anyone else’s. 😂
She turns 35 just before the next president takes office, meaning this is the first election she could legally become president. Coincidence???
Absolutely a coincidence. This is all a marketing stunt, but the conspiracies have been fun to read.
She will be 35 in December and could be elected president in 2024.
She’s also been doing get out the vote/voter registration campaigns since at least 2018. She has officially endorsed multiple Democrats in the past, including Biden in the general election in 2020. Like none of this is new or a secret.
I heard NPR say that she’s brought in roughly $300 million to the NFL because so many more women are now watching
Seriously. There is a conspiracy here, and it’s to get the Chief’s to win. /s. Probably. Not really. Yes I’m bitter.
All joking aside I miss when we could have “low stake” conspiracy theories. Now we have genuine flat earthers and the like, it’s only a matter of time before someone weaponizes the “birds aren’t real” meme. I swear god people will look back at pizzagate as the definitive marker where the world forgot 4chan was primarily a joke.
I’m bitter about the chiefs too. Also I feel like “the fix is in” and “script” jokes about the NFL have been ruined by people actually believing in something like that. If you joke about it now Poe’s law will kick in, people won’t know you’re joking anymore. And the NFL is certainly not helping the optics by getting all buddy buddy with sports gambling.
I’m OK with the NFL having its popularity chipped away. It’s a destructive sport that’s held a privileged position in the US for too long.
It’d be nice if it was for better reasons, though.
I’m especially annoyed when these billionaire team owners with highly profitable teams get taxpayers to pay for their stadiums.
Now that I think about it, how about we convince them it’s a leftist plot for them to destroy the NFL? We knew they would hate Swift’s involvement, so we fixed the game in her boyfriend’s favor in order for conservatives to turn against football.
Well she did dare to encourage her fans to vote! And that’s obviously anti-democratic or something.
She’s obviously a witch /s
they’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one
She turned me into a newt.
… It got better.
Jokes on you, it’s Newt Gingrich
… it got worse.
I hope she continues to make all the things happen that pisses them off.
She is a woman. She is smart. She has a platform. She tells people to vote. She is the absolute worst in the eyes of fascists.
Very good point.
Among football fans we also like pointing out how Kelce, a superstar player, just about as high as you can get… essentially makes lemonade stand money next to her. It was the same for Brady and Gisel to. I imagine there’s a certain stripe of person that drives a little nuts.
Personally I love it. Those guys are absolute top of their field in something insanely demanding and stressful, and the money is essentially pointless. So the relationship must be pretty decent. It’s also just funny to picture THOSE guys going through the dance you have to if you’ve ever dated someone with a very different income/lifestyle. Like you can navigate it in a committed relationship, but the early stages can be a bit dicey. “ughh, I need a release, after the seasons over do you want to go to that place in the Mediterranean?” .
