The Philadelphia Eagles corridor, Saquon Barkley, said he does not understand why fans booed pop superstar Taylor Swift when he was shown in the videoboards in the Caesars Superdome during the Super Bowl Lix.
“I remember showing her at the Jumbotron, and she was booed. I don’t understand. I don’t understand why she was receiving hatred there,” Barkley said Wednesday during an appearance in “The Howard Stern Show” in Siriusxm.
Barkley’s response occurred after he was asked if he thought Swift and her boyfriend, the closed wing of Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, committed. He did not have an opinion about that question, but, without prevention, he defended himself from Swift.
“We are trying to expand the game, and she is part of him is just to help him. I don’t dislike it.”

He accredited Swift for helping to increase the popularity of the NFL.
“He was supporting his partner, and has made the biggest game,” Barkley said. “In football we are all about, ‘How can we expand the game and do it more [international]? We travel to Brazil, we travel to Mexico. Apparently, we soon travel to Australia. We are trying to expand the game, and she is part of him is only helping. I don’t have the disgust you are receiving. “
Swift, who grew near Philadelphia, but now roots for the Chiefs and Kelce, was booed when he showed himself next to rapper Ice Spice during the first quarter on Sunday night. She looked to her mouth “what is happening” in response to the boo.
Many of the boos on Sunday night probably came from Eagles fans. However, Barkley has been accepted by the team’s supporters after leaving New York giants to sign in Philadelphia the last low season and enjoy a historic season in which he ran for 2,476 yards, the greatest amount in a single season , including playoffs.
“They simply bathe you with love,” Barkley said about team fans. “And it has been great for me and my family, it causes things to end in New York. There was always love and support there, but things did not end with a great note, I suppose it could be said. And to be able to come here and the way they have welcomed me and my family, and my daughter is the star here who love my little daughter.
