Sports rivalries are serious business and the St. Louis Blues just committed the biggest party foul there is.
Ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl 58, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, the Blues stirred the pot big time with their fans after a simple post on their Twitter. The tweet in question? A message wishing the Chiefs and Taylor Swift, who is dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, good luck in Super Bowl 58.
For those unfamiliar with the midwest’s sports rivalries, St. Louis and Kansas City sit on opposite ends of the state of Missouri. Not only that, the city lost its football team — the Rams — to Los Angeles in 2016, making the NFL a sore subject for St. Louisans. So, for the Blues to tweet its support for St. Louis’ biggest sports rival was either the biggest misstep possible or the wildest troll job imaginable.
