Whether you love it or hate it, the Taylor Swift effect on the Kansas City Chiefs certainiy has brought a new audience to the NFL, but according to one football Hall of Famer, it’s the reason why the league is losing fans.
Hall of Fame former coach Tony Dungy is at the 2024 Hula Bowl in Orlando as he is being inducted into the Hula Bowl Hall of Fame. Leading up to the game, Dungy was one of several former football stars interviewed by Fox News, and was asked about a poll that showed Iess than 25% of Gen Z-ers consider themselves “avid sports fans.”
Fellow Hall of Famer Rod Woodson attributed the cause to the interest in sports betting, and there are more general fans rather than fans of teams, but Dungy went another route in his explanation of it.
“I think we’ll always have sports in some form or fashion. Some people are disenchanted with it,” Dungy said.
When asked about the Taylor Swift effect, Dungy said the megastar is an exampIe of why people aren’t that interest in the NFL.
That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now, he said. “There’s so much on the outside coming in. Entertainment value and different things that’s taking away from what really happens on the field.”
“Look Like Mother and Son,” Daniel Radcliffe, 34, Makes Rare Appearance With Partner, 39 — Fans Are Shocked
When Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke arrived at the Tony Awards, their entrance electrified the event. The audience buzzed, captivated not only by their striking appearance, but also by the cascade of responses their presence provoked.
The Harry Potter star and his partner of 12 years, Erin Darke, made a super rare red-carpet appearance together this weekend. The duo, who have been together since 2012 and celebrated the birth of their first child in April of the previous year, appeared deeply enamored with each other as they attended the 77th Annual Tony Awards.
The 34-year-old actor wrapped an arm around his 39-year-old girlfriend’s waist as they laughed and tenderly looked into each other’s eyes while posing for photos. He looked sharp in a lilac suit paired with a bowtie, while Erin caught everyone’s attention in a shimmering gray ball gown embellished with sequins and rhinestones, complete with a tulle skirt.
People online praised the beautiful couple and showered them with compliments. One person wrote, ’’They look great and so happy,’’ and another added, ’’They both look so happy and comfortable with each other.’’
However, many were taken aback by the height difference between the couple. One observer shared, “Look like mother and son. The difference in height is also embarrassing, he needs to find someone shorter than him.” Someone else noted, ’’They don’t look suited, but love is love.’’
We admire the radiant confidence and beauty of this lovely couple. Another celebrity duo making recent headlines was Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who appeared with their son and daughter. Online viewers were astonished to see the two beautiful children, who are rarely seen in public.
