Rob Gronkowski Believes NFL Shows Taylor Swift Too Much during Games: ‘We Want More Football’
Rob Gronkowski wants more football and less Taylor Swift cutaways during NFL games
Rob Gronkowski feels that the NFL is overdoing its coverage of Taylor Swift's and Travis Kelce's ongoing romance.
Specifically, the former New England Patriots star tight end believes that camera cuts to Swift in the stands occur too often during game broadcasts.
“Bye-bye-bye, it’s just a little bit too much,” Gronk said on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams” Wednesday.
“Yes, you can show her, maybe have her perform a song now since they’re hyping her up every single week but we want more football. Yes, it’s fine that you show her, but not every single play.”
He expressed the idea that cut aways to Swift takes away from the players and key moments of games.
"Show the players, show the player celebrations,” Gronkowski said.

At the same time, the 34-year-old made sure to emphasize that Kelce is an elite player that deserves all of his successes on and off the field.
“You know, it’s wonderful, he deserves it all,” Gronkowski told “Entertainment Tonight” Monday.
“He’s had seven 1,000-yard seasons in a row. Wide receivers barely have seven 1,000-yard seasons in a row. He deserves every commercial, and he’s a good-looking man, so he deserves any lady that he wants to get,” he continued.
Despite the pleas of Gronkowski and others, the NFL continues to embrace the cultural phenomenon.
“The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real-time, as it’s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we’ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport," the NFL said in a statement to the NY Post.
