Fans call Caleb Williams 'gay' again after new photos show him rocking blue nail polish
Out of all the things
NFL
fans could've freaked out over this week bad throws, contract holdouts, roster drama, the internet instead chose blue nail polish. Yep. Caleb Williams decided to show up with his fingers looking fabulous, and suddenly, it was like half of football Twitter lost its mind.
Some folks went full 1950s, others were screaming 'GOAT energy,' and honestly, the comments section turned into its own Super Bowl.
Fans react to Caleb Williams painted nails and the homophobia, jokes, and chaos came pouring in
After the photo of the QB Caleb Williams surfaced online, Twitter/X turned into a war zone. Comments ranged from weirdly obsessed to weirdly supportive.
One user posted:
'He should be playing for the San Francisco 49ers because that's extra gay.'
Another chimed in with:
'Will be the first NFL star to come out as gay.'
Some were just straight-up confused:
'OMG! Blue fingernails! Stop the presses!'
Caleb Williams trends as fans question his sexuality over blue nail polish photos
The NFL's masculinity crisis: Why nail polish still sends people into meltdown mode
This isn't even new. The moment a male NFL player does something remotely outside the 'football guy' mold whether it's wearing pink, painting nails, or dressing like they've seen a fashion show, a chunk of the fanbase acts like the league's collapsing. We've seen it with Cam Newton's outfits, OBJ's cleats, and even Joe Burrow's swagger fits.
Let a man do his thing and throw a 40-yard dime? Why are we mad?
Gen Z fans are done with the fake outrage and fully support their painted-nail kings
The best part? Younger fans weren't just not mad, they were loving it. The phrase 'PERIODT!!' was literally trending under the photo. TikTok is already making edits. And people are reposting with captions like,
'nail polish doesn't affect QB rating, babe.'

If you're throwing touchdowns and dropping bombs downfield, you could show up in glitter boots and eyeliner and still be That Guy. Football Twitter might still be adjusting to players expressing themselves, but Gen Z already made their choice, they're riding for QBs who can sling the ball and rock a mani. Whether it was a fashion flex, a personal vibe, or just a fun moment, the message is clear: blue nail polish is not the crisis y'all think it is.
And if he throws a touchdown with those nails? That's just extra polish on the win.

Taylor Swift snubs Kamala Harris plea, but plays house entertainer for Travis Kelce's NFL frat party
Taylor Swift declined a performance for Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign (Getty Images) Taylor Swift 's political silence has sparked fresh outrage after revelations she rejected a request to perform for Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign — yet gladly sang at Travis Kelce 's Tight End University. While Swift once championed women in leadership, critics now question where her priorities truly lie: ballots or boyfriends? Taylor Swift snubs Kamala Harris campaign but sings for Travis Kelce In a move that's sparking both political backlash and fan praise, Taylor Swift reportedly declined a major request from the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign—while gladly stepping up to perform for her boyfriend Travis Kelce at his Tight End University event. According to revelations from the book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, the pop star was personally approached by Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, to perform in support of the Harris-Tim Walz ticket during the election season. But despite Emhoff's personal connection—he's reportedly friends with Swift's longtime lawyer, Doug Baldridge—the superstar turned it down. 'Swift proved to be a challenge,' wrote authors Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. Although Swift did endorse the Democratic ticket via social media, her refusal to take the stage for a political campaign raised eyebrows, especially when juxtaposed with her musical surprise for Kelce and his guests just weeks later. While Swift was fully booked with her demanding Eras Tour schedule during the 2024 election, she found time to belt out a country version of "Shake It Off" at Kelce's annual Tight End University in Nashville. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo The intimate performance sent guests into a frenzy and left Swifties fuming online. Videos from the event went viral, with one fan commenting, 'So we spent thousands on Eras Tour tickets and missed this version? Devastated. ' This contrast has reignited debates about Swift's role in political activism. Some argue that the singer has every right to choose her platforms and prioritize personal events over political ones. Others believe her snub sends a message about the limits of her support for progressive politics. What's clearer than ever is that Swift is no longer playing by anyone's rules but her own. She will lend her voice where she sees fit—whether it's to empower millions of fans through lyrics or to serenade a stadium full of NFL stars and their partners.

Josh Allen can't beat Patrick Mahomes — and fans are starting to blame Hailee Steinfeld for the slump
Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills face immense pressure in 2025 (Image via AP) The Buffalo Bills may be perennial contenders, but as long as Patrick Mahomes wears red and gold, they remain firmly under his shadow. Despite a strong regular season and an MVP campaign from Josh Allen, the Bills have consistently fallen short in January — especially when facing the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen is now 0-4 in playoff games against Mahomes, a stat that looms large heading into the 2025 NFL season. Despite Hailee Steinfeld 's support, Josh Allen's struggles against Patrick Mahomes The latest blow came in the 2024 AFC Championship Game, where Allen once again came up short. Despite leading a high-powered offense and having Hollywood's Hailee Steinfeld cheering him on, the Wyoming-born quarterback has yet to overcome the Mahomes-sized wall standing between Buffalo and a Super Bowl return. The last time the Bills reached the big game was in 1993 — and Allen's era has yet to change that. — SleeperRavenss (@SleeperRavenss) While Mahomes didn't hit his usual 4,000-yard passing mark last season and threw just 26 touchdowns, ESPN analyst Harry Douglas issued a stark warning: 'I think they are going to need a little help from someone else in the AFC. And what I mean by that is, they are 0-4 against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. They need someone else to knock off the Chiefs before they actually face them in a playoff game.' It's a brutal truth, and one that underscores just how dominant Mahomes, Andy Reid, and Travis Kelce have been in the postseason. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Kelce, in particular, has often been Allen's nightmare, delivering clutch performances and touchdowns that crush Buffalo's hopes again and again. Meanwhile, Hailee Steinfeld and Allen continue to be one of the NFL's most-watched power couples, but even off-field love can't soften the frustration of four straight playoff exits at the hands of the same team. If Allen loses to Mahomes again, the pressure will skyrocket — not just from media and fans, but perhaps even internally from the organization.
