"It's ridiculous" - Chris Russo goes on fiery rant against Travis Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift, and Caitlin Clark

Chris Russo went on a rant against Travis Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift and WNBA star Caitlin Clark after the Kansas City Chiefs' matchup on Sunday. During the Divisional Playoff showdown against Houston, Swift, along with her father and Caitlin Clark, was in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium cheering for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. However, their appearance drew criticism from 'Mad Dog' Russo.

On Monday, on the SiriusXM radio show Mad Dog Unleashed, Chris Russo fired a rant at Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark. He was critical of Clark supporting the Chiefs, saying:

"I've had enough with Kelce. I've had enough with the girlfriend. Now I got Caitlin Clark in the mix. Who, by the way, I saw Caitlin Clark play, what, 50 games in college basketball the last two years? Parts of it. I never heard one reference. I never saw her father with a Chiefs jersey on.

"I never saw her with a Chiefs hat on. I heard not one reference in 50 games that she was a Chiefs fan, and then all of a sudden now she's a big Kansas City fan. Come on, stop, please. I understand you want to be a fan because they win," he added.

He further spoke about Swift, saying:

"It's ridiculous. And ESPN, they're going to be as guilty as everybody else. They're going to show you Swift and her and that freaking press box until the cows come home. "

Taylor Swift has been a pretty ardent supporter of the Chiefs. Since her relationship with Travis Kelce came into the spotlight ahead of the 2023 NFL season, Swift has attended several games at Arrowhead in addition to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas last year.

When Caitlin Clark opened up about her favorite NFL team, the Chiefs

Although in his statement, Chris Russo was critical of Caitlin Clark, claiming she only recently started cheering for the Chiefs, the WNBA star has been a supporter of the team for a while.

In November 2023, Caitlin Clark appeared on an episode of ManningCast to discuss the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. In the episode, she reflected on her favorite team, the Chiefs, and said she has been a fan of the team since her childhood. She said:

“I’ve been a Chiefs fan since I was a young girl. My brother was a Chiefs fan, my dad was a Chiefs fan. I had cousins in Kansas City that were Chiefs fans. Honestly it was just something all I knew. In our basement, we had a Chiefs vending machine. We had those toy helmets that were Chiefs that you could run around in the yard and I could knock helmets with my brothers.”

Meanwhile, in the Divisional Playoff on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs won against the Houston Texans (23-14). With the victory, the Chiefs qualified for the AFC Championship title game and will face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Moreover, the Chiefs' hopes are still alive to complete a three-peat of winning the Super Bowl this season.
