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.”
Fans ‘seriously concerned’ after Rachael Ray appears to slur words in new video
Rachael Ray’s latest appearance is sparking concern for the renowned chef and television personality.
Fans immediately took to the comment section of Ray’s newest video promoting her show, Rachael Ray in Tuscany, expressing their worry about the current state of her health.
“She does not look like herself at all. I hope shes ok.”
On Monday, the 56-year-old shared a clip of herself making the late singer Tony Bennett‘s favorite dish, ossobuco, while telling the story of how she “almost killed him.”
In the clip, Ray shared that when Bennett went to sit down in his chair it “slid out from under him and he hit his head on my marble counter behind him.” His wife assured Ray the crooner would “pop back up,” which thankfully he did.
While the Food Network star recalled her story about Bennett, the majority of people in the comments were focused on Ray’s appearance.
Some even questioned if she was drunk or suffering from a medical episode.

Even though many were quick to diagnose Ray, there were still plenty who came to her defense.
“I don’t hear any slurring but she has compassion in her telling of the story. She’s a good person and her vibes are good.”
“She got emotional talking about her friend is all.”
“For heavens sake! She’s fine! Not 22 and cutesy any more, but shes fine. Missing her friend.”
Although Ray’s speech was slow and deliberate throughout the clip, the television personality has yet to address any of her fans’ concerns.
Whatever the case may be, I do hope Rachael is okay. Please share.
