Taylor Swift Begins Day By Playing Video Reminding Travis Kelce Who She Is, How Long They’ve Dated
LEAWOOD, KS—Urging her boyfriend to calm down after he woke up and immediately began to panic, Taylor Swift reportedly began her day Friday by playing a video reminding Travis Kelce who she is and how long they’ve dated. “Hi baby, I know you don’t know who I am right now, but my name is Taylor, and ...

Oh look, a traumatic brain injury joke. So funny.
I guess this is one of those "The Onion is Boomer humor" pieces I have heard so much about.
EDIT: I am not a fan of jokes that target people's ethnicity, sexual preference, or disability, and that definitely includes traumatic injury. If that makes me a buzzkill, then so be it.
Nah, it is funny in the context of how fine society is with brain injuries from sports. Dark humor, not boomer humor.
I feel like you're one of those people who defended the will Smith slap
That's a really good burn lol
So was GI Jane 2, but here we are.
TBI is awful but I don't see why it'd be off the table? They've not shied from sensitive topics in their whole history.
isnt it also in their standard of "bringing light to terribly true things" by making satire of it?
If they see this as "making fun of disabilities" - that might be more on them.
Dude hasn't gotten brain damage from an accident or born with it. He's gotten repeated brain damage to entertain millions of people in a game.
I think "bringing light to terribly true things" is an appropriate description for referencing the detrimental medical effects of professional football on the players.
Should we joke about when he attacked an old man because Kelce himself screwed up a play. Very normal behavior of a well adjusted definitely not man child.
‘Attacked’ is disingenuous. He got confrontational and right up in the coach’s face and personal space while shouting. But no hands were thrown, and afaik the coach did not get pushed back or have to catch his footing.
Travis was completely unjustified and hugely overreacted about sports, but you should be honest.
Assuming that's real, yes, yes we should. Or The Onion writers should.
I know nothing of the man. Literally zero other than the fact that he plays football and dates Taylor Swift. I just don't find jokes about disabilities, including traumatic brain injuries, funny.
Jokes can be about anything, you're free to be a stick in the mud I guess. But you don't get to shame others for not being that

Jokes about these things can be done well. The true test is are these things the butt of the joke or not.
The joke here isn't, "haha, CTE funny". The joke is a bit more nuanced than that.
I once had a friend in a wheelchair that was always telling jokes. He always had us rolling.
