Controversial conservative commentator Jason Whitlock has slammed CBS' decision to send lead commentary team Jim Nantz and Tony Romo to Kansas City on Sunday instead of the big game between the Ravens and Dolphins.
The Ravens-Dolphins showdown might be the best Week 17 matchup in the NFL, with the AFC's top two going head-to-head in Maryland.
But CBS has sent their top players to the Chiefs' game against the Bengals, which Kansas City must win to secure a playoff spot.
Whitlock claimed the match was chosen because of Taylor Swift's expected attendance at Arrowhead Stadium.
The pop star has become a regular at boyfriend Travis Kelce's games in recent months and is expected to be there again on Sunday after spending Christmas Day in Kansas City with the tight end.

Whitlock believes it shows the NFL and broadcasters are prioritizing celebrities over the quality of sports competition.
He posted on X: 'Wow. Nantz-Romo is in KC for Bengals-Chiefs vs. Taylor Swift? Good Lord.
“This is the same mistake the NBA made.
“The NBA has marketed itself as the game that all the celebrities go to instead of coming to see the great competition and great players.
“You've got Lamar versus Tua and CBS picked Taylor Swift.”
