NFL legend Eli Manning has backed Travis Kelce‘s decision to spend his bye week with Taylor Swift during her Eras tour in Buenos Aires – despite a backlash from some sections of football fans.
On Thursday, Manning, 42, told PEOPLE that bye weeks were designed to get away from football and allow players to recharge for the remainder of the season.
‘I think for him to travel, there’s nothing wrong with traveling, going somewhere,’ Manning said. ‘Hey, if he wants to go and support his girlfriend and see her play a concert, I’ve got no problem with that.’
Kelce’s romance with the 12-time Grammy-winning popstar has been America’s favorite love story since going public in September. After Swift attended both home and away games for Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is overseas to return the support fir Swift in her record-breaking tour.

Manning emphasized how bye weeks are ‘not a time to go party and celebrate,’ citing Las Vegas as an example, before revealing that he used used to spend the off week by visiting his college and seeing family.
Manning also reiterated how Kelce’s decision to see Swift in Argentina is harmless.
‘I think the bye week is a great time to get away from football and I think that’s the idea,’ said Manning. ‘It is the time to rest the body, rest the mind a little bit, recharge yourself to get ready for that second half of the season.’
All 32 teams in the NFL get a bye week every season. The Chiefs’ short break comes right after starring in the fourth NFL international game this year in Frankfurt, Germany.
