The losers from Sunday’s Super Bowl game included Fox Sports broadcaster Terry Bradshaw for a disrespectful comment he made to Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid during the celebration, football fans said in near unison on social media.
Bradshaw had just finished interviewing Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt. He went to move Reid closer to the front of the crowded stage for his interview.
“Big guy. Let me get the big guy in here,” Bradshaw said to Reid, holding out his hand to usher him to the front of the stage for an interview.
“Come on, waddle over here,” Bradshaw said.
Then he cackled.
After their brief talk of the game, Bradshaw told Reid: “Have a cheeseburger on us.”
Hunt, who was still standing there, stayed expressionless upon hearing the insult, but social media was vocal, calling Bradshaw names that cannot be repeated here.
Some tweeted directly to @NFLonFOX and called for Bradshaw to get the boot.
The only people who didn’t seem to mind were Philadelphia Eagles fans.
A sampling of the ire:
“Anyone else pissed at Terry Bradshaw for telling ‘big man’ Andy Reid to ‘waddle over here’ after the game? The man just coached his team to a Superbowl win, and he’s getting fat shamed while trying to accept the trophy and celebrate his success! So not cool.”
