This game was Biles’ second time watching a regular-season Packers game. Before flying out to the world championships, she attended a few preseason games in August and the Packers’ season opener against the Chicago Bears in September. Despite the fact that the Packers lost the game on Sunday, Biles was there to support her husband. Before the game, she even shared an update of the two walking hand in hand.?Unfortunately, Jonathan was injured and posted about the deep scar on his left cheek from the hospital area.
The Packers are currently 2-5 after suffering their fourth consecutive loss. The Packers drive to the 34-yard line of the Vikings, but are unable to score on their last play and fall short, 24?10. While their fans were swooning over the athletic duo, others were more nostalgic about the relationship between Taylor Swift, the pop phenomenon, and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, the comparison took a rather ugly turn after this.
The Biles-Swift ugly turn of events
The American gymnast appeared at the Green Bay Packers game against the Minnesota Vikings but wasn’t picked up by the TV crews in the way that Taylor Swift has at the Kansas City Chiefs games, leading fans to believe that racism is at the root of it.
