Seahawks face backlash after posting “End Game” friendship bracelet meme tied to Taylor Swift

The Seattle Seahawks drew online criticism after posting a friendship bracelet image following a 20–3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Story

The Seattle Seahawks came under backlash online after the team shared a meme-style post featuring friendship bracelets with the words “Seahawks Win” after beating the Kansas City Chiefs 20–3 on Sunday night.

In the post, the Seahawks displayed white, blue and green bracelets with charms reading “Seahawks Win” at the bottom, and the team captioned it “End Game.”

Some fans responded by calling the Seahawks “classless” and saying the reigning Super Bowl champions “need to do better,” according to the comments referenced with the post.

The meme also landed with Taylor Swift fans because of her connection to NFL coverage through her relationship with Travis Kelce, which the source says began in 2023.

The source also says Swift has appeared in the NFL sphere since then, including coming onto the field in February 2024 after Kelce and the team won Super Bowl LVIII, and that the Seahawks post became a target for ridicule from Swift fans rather than just general sports banter.
