Saquon Barkley will not stand for the hate that Taylor Swift received at Super Bowl LIX. 

The singer was shown on the jumbotron during the Eagles-Chiefs game and Philadelphia fans all booed her. Swift just laughed it off, and was seen saying, "what is going on?"

Many people have since come to Swift's defense, and Barkley is one of them. 

"I remember that they showed her on the jumbotron, and she got booed. I don't get it. I don't get why she was getting hate there," Barkley said on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM Radio. "She was there supporting her significant other, and she's made the game bigger.

"In football we're all about, 'How can we expand the game and make it more [international]?' We're traveling to Brazil, we're traveling to Mexico. Apparently, we're traveling to Australia soon. We're trying to expand the game, and her being a part of it is only helping it.

"I don't get the dislike she's getting."

He is right! 

The Taylor Swift Effect has helped the NFL expand to a whole new audience, and excuse the pun, but it has helped the league reach New Heights. So, just because she's sitting there cheering on her significant other at a game means a whole stadium should boo her?  

Make it make sense.
