Travis Kelce didn’t get trashed enough for his outburst at Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid at the Super Bowl LVIII and Former MLB executive David Samson is here to explain why Travis didn’t get severe backlash from fans.
According to David Samson, Taylor Swift is the reason why Kelce didn’t get trashed enough for the outburst at coach Andy Reid.
Speaking on the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” Samson, the former president of the Marlins and executive vice president of the Expos, said if this happened on a team he presided over the player would have been punished.
Samson said that CBS and the Chiefs didn’t want to “ruffle any feathers” with Swift, and that gave Kelce an “out” to not face discipline.
“I would have benched him,” Samson said, as covered by Awful Announcing. “One series.”
Le Batard, pushed back, saying he didn’t think Samson would remove a star player from a championship game.

“If a baseball player attacks a manager physically during a game, you don’t think he’s taken out of the game?” Samson continued.
“I’m not out of my mind because you’ve got a team of 50-plus players who are watching what Travis Kelce did and saying, ‘Oh, I guess he can do that.’ It’s not as though Kelce’s not being treated differently already with all of the ridiculousness around Taylor Swift.”
Taylor Swift has a bunch of fans who also follow the NFL and you don’t expect them to bash their star’s boyfriend over his outburst at Andy Reid.
