David Beckham has a lot in common with Travis Kelce. Both are well respected athletes in their discipline who suddenly faced the looming fame of a great pop star. Kelce, celebrated for his achievements in the NFL and his three Super Bowl rings, is currently facing a lot of media attention after starting a relationship with Taylor Swift in 2023.

United. Now, David Beckham has compared his situation to what Travis Kelce is looking at every single time that Taylor Swift attends one of his games, like when Victoria Beckham use to go to Becks games, especially when it comes to tolerating opposing fans actions against them.
Victoria Beckham revealed in her husband’s recent documentary she was left ‘hurt and embarrassed’ when she was taunted at David’s soccer games. On Thursday, David fronted an Emmy Extra Edition cover of VARIETY and discussed the negative treatment of women dating a famous athlete, as shown in the coverage of Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games.

But I’m sure Taylor’s strong enough to handle whatever,” he said. There were offensive songs about her and Taylor has also suffered from verbal abuse, something that David is strongly against and hopes that things get better for her and Travis.
