Whether you love it or hate it, the Taylor Swift effect on the Kansas City Chiefs certainiy has brought a new audience to the NFL, but according to one football Hall of Famer, it’s the reason why the league is losing fans.
Hall of Fame former coach Tony Dungy is at the 2024 Hula Bowl in Orlando as he is being inducted into the Hula Bowl Hall of Fame. Leading up to the game, Dungy was one of several former football stars interviewed by Fox News, and was asked about a poll that showed Iess than 25% of Gen Z-ers consider themselves “avid sports fans.”
Fellow Hall of Famer Rod Woodson attributed the cause to the interest in sports betting, and there are more general fans rather than fans of teams, but Dungy went another route in his explanation of it.
“I think we’ll always have sports in some form or fashion. Some people are disenchanted with it,” Dungy said.
When asked about the Taylor Swift effect, Dungy said the megastar is an exampIe of why people aren’t that interest in the NFL.
That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now, he said. “There’s so much on the outside coming in. Entertainment value and different things that’s taking away from what really happens on the field.”
For a quarter of a century, a man has made his home in a cave alongside his faithful dog: Come explore what their life looks like inside this secluded retreat!
It’s remarkable that despite the conveniences of modern technology, some people still choose to use outdated tools and methods. Consider the example of a 67-year-old man who has dedicated his efforts to constructing an intricate cave system, demonstrating that age is no barrier to undertaking ambitious projects.
With limited financial means, he has poured his heart into this work, employing only simple tools like a shovel and a cart. Although he does not have a formal education, he takes pride in his craftsmanship and believes that others will recognize the quality of his work.
When he started digging in 1987, he could not have imagined that his creation would gain such fame and acclaim, adorned with a variety of artifacts on its walls. The stunning beauty of his caves, known as Ra Paulet’s caverns, makes it difficult to assign a financial value to them.
To date, he has completed 14 caves and is currently working on his 15th, which he claims will surpass all his previous efforts. For more information, check out the video below.
