Roger Goodell Finally Breaks His Silence & Speaks About The Impact Of Taylor Swift On The NFL

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke about the effect that Taylor Swift has had on the attention of the league.

Whether or not you like the occasional shots of Taylor Swift cheering on Travis Kelce during Kansas City Chiefs games, there is no doubt that the mega pop star moves the needle.

Having the Taylor Swift effect is also a positive,” he said. “Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, they seem very happy. She knows great entertainment and I think that’s why she loves NFL football. I think it’s great to have her a part of it. Obviously it creates a buzz, another group of young fans. Particularly young women.”

“I would tell you it’s because of the great competition,” Goodell explained. “Listen, the competition has been off the charts this year. We’ve had 70% of our games have been within one score in the fourth quarter. I mean, you see all that (and) that’s what fans ultimately love.”
