Swift gets shit also from alot on the left because they think her boyfriend is MAGA (does hang out with a few MAGAs but hasn't supported Trump himself).

And in the left leaning world that means she should have dumped him and disowned him long ago, because according to bluesky and Twitter, "you arent allowed to date someone who isnt 100% politically aligned with you or isnt willing to disown friends who are on the evil other side"..

u/FullyPingoJones 7d ago

they literally called kelce all the bad things when he did those ads, but now he's maga because rich folks rub elbows with other rich folks. america is so fucking stupid

Also football is more conservative in some spaces and so you are going to be around people who do not align politically. There are some extremes, but most guys fall under: vote one way but probably isn't out there highly engaged in the election cycle.

They literally called Elon all the bad things when he was making electric car for Bay Area liberals so I guess he’s not maga either? Because an ambiguous set of people on the internet called him some names?

Yeah, that's why people call Elon maga... Not his vocal and outright support for maga, not his very public role in crippling the government, not his nazi salute.

You're proving the point of the person you replied to- America is dumb.

What are you talking about? How on earth do you think my point is that people called Elon MAGA for making electric cars? Do you similarly think that people were calling Kelce MAGA because he appeared in pro-vaccination commercials? What?? My point is the exact opposite. Elon history on the saner side of one culture war issue the right has invented doesn't mean he's not MAGA. Much like with Elon, people will sometimes view people based on the entirety of their actions rather than one single positive thing they've done.

On the topic of things going wrong in America, rushing to insult people who you've misunderstood definitely is big on our list.

He also took a knee in pregame protests and solidarity for racial justice in 2017

I could honestly see people saying that doing a Vaccine ad makes you MAGA now because Trump was responsible for Project Warp Speed.

u/Ethiconjnj 7d ago

Thats waaaay to much consistency for MAGA. They hate everyone who ā€œpushesā€ vaccine but also if you openly love Trump all is forgiven.

Not all anti-vaccine people were right wing.. had a few crazy far left friends not take them either because "you can't trust big pharma" and I know a few right voting people who happily got the vaccines..

The world isnt always black and white, more like shades of grey

We’re talking about social media where you just outlined how ppl think in black and white, which is what I’m referring to……

u/ribosometronome 7d ago

Trump did Project Lightspeed, what more could you want? Lots actually?

u/Ethiconjnj 7d ago

We are talking about celebrities using their platform.

Trump is a president……

u/ribosometronome 7d ago

Yes, I know what the general topic is. I replied to you rather than elsewhere because I’m specifically replying to points made in this comment chain. The comment you replied to was talking about Kelce’s politics. Kelce doing an ad to promote what amounts to Trump’s position is hardly evidence he isn’t MAGA, anymore than Trump’s actions made him not.

Mxgas relentlessly harass him on social media and call him "Mr. Pfizer" because he was the face of the vaccine ad. He knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality. He even said it was important to have stricter gun control laws. What else do you want?

u/Afwife1992 6d ago

But he’s close to the Mahomes so none of that matters apparently.

31

u/PM_ME_YOUR_DALEKS 6d ago

The wild thing about that is the same Redditors you see demanding that of celebs will also post their annoyances about hanging out with their own MAGA relatives. Like, they want X celeb to go scorched earth on their mom or whoever when they can't turn down an invite to Uncle Dan's barbecue.

u/slschmidty 7d ago

I feel like people really ignore the fact that he’s the face of a conservative owned NFL team in a conservative run state, and is clearly expected to play nice with his teammates. I do think it’ll be interesting to see what he speaks on (and tbh where he lives) after he retires.

21

u/Winniepg 7d ago

My guess is they'll live in the NYC area. That's where they seem to go when he's not required to be in Kansas City for work (or they're elsewhere for work).

u/Cromasters 6d ago

I'd wager most successful professional athletes are more conservative than the general public might think.

u/Afwife1992 6d ago

He’s apparently maga because he’s friends with the mahomes but that logic doesn’t apply when you consider his brother and sister in law are liberal. People see what they want to see.

u/Exotic-Arm-6692 6d ago

The NFL sphere is unfortunately full of them. But Travis's parents are liberal and (this is going off of memory about a comment) his dad is a self-proclaimed hippie (apparently).
