Sports fans are teeing off on FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd for getting duped by a fake tweet from an X/Twitter account posing as Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce.

X chairman Elon Musk made global headlines on Tuesday when he sent out a tweet directed at Taylor Swift after the beloved singer endorsed Kamala Harris on Instagram. Musk told Swift in an X post, “I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” Though Kelce didn’t respond to the post about his girlfriend, Colin Cowherd certainly thought he did.

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the post from Musk:

Someone on social media then photoshopped an image to make it look like Kelce himself tweeted back at Musk, threatening to twist the SpaceX founder “into a pretzel.” Again, this is a FAKE tweet that Kelce did not actually write:

As you’d expect, social media had a field day mocking Colin Cowherd for getting tricked into thinking that Kelce posted this:

Following Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris, it was reported that Travis Kelce will also publicly endorse the Vice President. Harris is running against Republican Donald Trump, who could join Grover Cleveland as the only other president to serve two non-consecutive terms.

Not Colin Cowherd’s Finest Moment

Cowherd is one of the most polarizing figures in sports journalism. He’s used to the criticism that comes with non-stop controversial hot takes, but this moment definitely leaves eggs on his face.

It’s just another reminder not to believe everything you read on the Internet and to always fact-check when you’re doing fact-based research or watching television.
