Skip Bayless Offered a Silly Argument for Why Travis Kelce Has ‘Earned’ the Right to Date Taylor Swift

This take from the Fox Sports personality didn’t make a lot of sense.

The Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift circus already is starting to get a bit out of control after Sunday’s appearance by the pop star at the Bears-Chiefs game in Kansas City. 

From the awkward video of the couple leaving Arrowhead Stadium after the game, to the details of the restaurant that Kelce rented out after the win, there’s just been a lot going on with this storyline that has taken over the NFL over the past few weeks, but especially the past 24 hours. 

This all leads us to the inevitable—Fox Sports pundit Skip Bayless weighing in on it with a silly take on what this possible relationship could mean for Kelce as well as the Chiefs. Here’s Bayless saying on Monday’s episode of Undisputed that Kelce has “earned” the right to date Swift because he’s had a really good football career. 

"Travis Kelce has earned the right to date Taylor Swift and get away with it. He's only the greatest pass catching TE I've ever seen."

Richard Sherman’s mystified reactions while listening to Bayless were pretty spot-on. Also, Keyshawn Johnson had a perfect take on why a relationship like this wouldn’t have a big impact on a professional athlete’s teammates. And who are the young players that Bayless spoke about having relationship issues with major stars, which ended up hurting their careers? 

There seemed to be a whole lot of nonsense coming out of Bayless’s mouth, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has ever seen his act.
