“But Football in My Mind Now” – Ryan Reynolds Divides the Internet After NFL Appearance Alongside Taylor Swift

Wrexham AFC co-owner, Ryan Reynolds, sent the internet into splits after his recent comments. Reynolds made an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs New York Jets NFL game where the Deadpool actor along with his wife, Blake Lively, were in the stands along with Lively’s friend and pop star, Taylor Swift. However, Reynolds made an interesting comment after the game regarding Wrexham and the NFL.

Reynolds spoke after the game in a short interview with Extra TV about his love for the NFL and football in America. But he also reiterated that ‘football,’ to him, means something else now because of his ownership of Welsh club Wrexham.

Ryan Reynolds suggests football means something different to him now after becoming owner of Wrexham

Speaking shortly after the Chiefs vs Jets game, Reynolds was asked by an Extra TV presenter about his love of football, where Reynolds stated, “It’s a lot of fun. I mean the NFL right now is reaching a kind of fever pitch. That’s usually reserved only for the Super Bowl. But here we are at the 4th or 5th game of the year and it’s already happening so…”

“I played football when I was a kid. I loved it, I love watching it, I continue to, I will always watch it, it’s great. But football in my mind now is what we would call soccer over here because I can’t say soccer when I’m in Europe”

The Deadpool actor’s comments come just after Wrexham’s nail-biting 1-0 win over Crawley Town in EFL League Two, where Reynolds took to X to tweet a hilarious message.

Ryan Reynolds tweets that Wrexham causes him ‘heart attacks’

Wrexham’s last game was a narrow 1-0 win over Crawley Town where a 10-man Wrexham eventually got the three points. Ollie Palmer’s goal in the 13th minute was enough to give the Red Dragons all three points. Andy Cannon got sent off in the 66th minute seeing a red for his tackle on Crawley’s Andy Campbell.

Shortly after the Welsh club’s 1-0 win, Reynolds posted a tweet on X that read: “@Wrexham_AFC is the leading cause of heart attacks in my chest”

Following Wrexham’s win over Crawley Town, the Welsh side’s boss Phil Parkinson spoke after the game saying, “It’s a huge win for us. They’re a decent side and have done well this season. There was a great togetherness about the group and you could sense it.” “But in adversity, the lads have dug really deep and that’s great for us.”

Wrexham are currently 7th in the EFL League Two standings with 20 points after 12 games as their bid to get promoted by the end of the season continues.
