Besides exhilarating football action, NFL matches often become venues for a high-profile celebrity couple spotting! Wondering how? Well, courtesy of two of America’s favorite power couples, Simone Biles & Jonathan Owens and Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift. The love and support they show for their partners surely leaves spectators swooning over them. And the small but significant gestures? They leave fans awestruck!

However, a recent incident seems to have rocked the boat. Something happened at the recent NFL match on September 15 that has put a damper on the lovey-dovey spirit. And while Simone Biles is miles away, in the thick of her gymnastics-entertainment gala—the Gold Over America Tour, her fans seem riled up at the point of stark inequality. What happened?

Taylor Swift’s air time ticks off the GOAT’s army

The Sunday NFL match between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs featured a few aww-worthy moments. As Travis Kelce entered the field for the game, his girlfriend Taylor Swift showed up to watch, with her mother and Travis,’ Donna Kelce, in attendance too. While Swift’s presence was probably enough to get her beau’s heart racing, the 14-time Grammy winner donned an oversized Chiefs t-shirt. And a red lip to compliment. Isn’t she the perfect girlfriend?

But then what stirred a row? Well, the Chiefs registered a narrow win over the Bengals, 26-25. And that got Taylor Swift and the rest jumping with joy. And the celebratory moments were aired during the streams too! But little did anyone know that Swift’s celebration over the Kansas tight end’s win would garner comparisons with Simone Biles. Under an X post showing the moment, the GOAT’s fans pour in with their steamy reactions.

One of them wrote, “Simone Biles husband plays they don’t show her all the time, we watch football to see the game not Taylor celebrating.” While there were a handful that backed the same emotion.

Fans remain shocked as Simone Biles doesn’t get air time

One of the gymnastics GOAT’s fans penned, “I watched the @ChicagoBears game Sunday night and I did not see them show @SimoneBiles 1 time. She’s the goat. So, where’s the equality?” Well, as the Chicago Bears played the Tennessee Titans at Soldier Field earlier this month, Simone Biles attended the match. Standing on the sidelines, she even flaunted her customized Owens jacket, with her husband’s Green Bay Packers images on it. Well, Swift isn’t the only one giving a fashion shoutout, it seems!

While the Bears won a 24-17 victory over the Titans, it was Owens who scored the first touchdown of the season! Not just jitters, Biles confessed on social media that the moment ‘almost gave her a heart attack.’ But, amidst all that, her reactions from the stands did not air on television. While fans pointed out that Taylor Swift did in the recent match. This led another one of the Houston native’s supporters to question, “Ex. Because Simone Biles isn’t given the same amount of TV coverage during Bears games. If it was equal coverage across all teams showing their happy Parents/Spouses/Girlfriends, I wouldn’t care.”

As fans pointed out a disparity, this isn’t the first time such an incident has happened. Back in 2023, at Lambeau Field, Simone Biles and Swift were both present for the Packers vs Chiefs game. Where Biles rocked a coat and watched the match in freezing conditions, Swift was questioned by fans for being in the heated box seat. Their fans had also waged a fandom war. But presently, it’s about the air time.

One of the fans cited Biles’ athletic status while questioning, “Do they show Simone Biles every time Jonathan Owen’s makes a big play? Didn’t think so, she’s an Olympic athlete known around the world.” An 11x Olympic medalist, Biles is the most decorated gymnast in the country. However, her not making it to the stream despite being present for matches raises eyebrows. Another one chimes in with, “@SimoneBiles doesn’t get this kind of air time and she actually represented our county!” What do you think of this? Let us know below!
