Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Kayla Nicole had a bold tweet Sunday as the Chiefs were getting destroyed by the Titans.
During the blowout loss, Patrick Mahomes suffered a scary hit to the head and the video obviously blew up all over the web. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

In response, Nicole tweeted, “Showing slow motion replays of gruesome hits or injuries should be illegal. One of the most barbaric elements of this sport. smh.”
As of Monday morning, Mahomes’ fiancée Brittany Matthews has the tweet sitting at the top of her profile as her latest retweet.

While I’m sympathetic to anyone who suffers a head injury as someone who has been hospitalized for many, this is an insanely stupid take.
Injuries happen and they’re part of the game. Suggesting we outlaw them is dumb that it’s hard to fathom how anyone could think it’s a good idea.

I’m not saying injuries should be celebrated. Of course they shouldn’t be, but outlawing replays of players getting hurt is a galaxy brain take for the ages.
There’s no reality where that’s a good idea. It’s part of the game, and fans have every right to see what’s going on.

Let us know in the comments whether or not you agree with Nicole’s tweet. Something tells me most of you will side with me.
