The Kansas City Chiefs seem to be unstoppable in the NFL playoffs and are drawing a variety of opinions from different personalities around the league, sometimes even far from the sports world. In this case, the magnetism of the couple between Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift, added to the presence of WNBA star Caitlin Clark in the last game against Houston Texans, provoked a criticism from a Dallas Cowboys legend, who claimed a popularity dispute with Andy Reidās team.
The Cowboys have been known as āAmericaās Teamā since the late 1970s, a nickname that came about because of the teamās popularity and success. Based on the last few years, thanks to star performances by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kelce, the Chiefs could be positioned as a dynasty that can contend for the label of Americaās iconic team.
Adding to the Kansas City teamās accomplishments in the NFL is the enormous idolatry of millions of fans for singer Taylor Swift, who regularly attends Chiefs games. The huge popularity generated as a result prompted a strong comment from Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, who criticized celebrities who went to Arrowhead Stadium.
