Charles Barkley could have been like Jim Nantz, Joe Buck, Pat McAfee, Stephen A. Smith, Tony Romo, and the full cast of sports media members who attended the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but he said no thanks.<\/p>\n
Last month, Barkley said \u201cain\u2019t no place I\u2019d rather be\u201d before Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. But in terms of the Swift-Kelce wedding at MSG, Barkley had better places to be.<\/p>\n
Barkley joined Unfiltered with Ricky Bo and Bill Colarulo on Philadelphia\u2019s 97.5 The Fanatic Monday afternoon to discuss the 76ers acquiring Jaylen Brown among other NBA offseason topics. And considering Barkley was not on any of the attendee lists for the Swift-Kelce wedding last week, Colarulo assumed it meant he wasn\u2019t invited. Because who would turn down the opportunity to say they were at one of the most lavish celebrations in the world, right? Well, apparently Charles Barkley would, and he did.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t go to weddings or funerals,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cBut I did get an invite, and I politely declined because I thought it was going to be a crap show. I love Travis and Jason, and I\u2019ve only met Taylor one time, but yeah, I did get an invite. But I said, that\u2019s just too much. I just want to hang out and play golf, and I don\u2019t want to dress up and all that other stuff. But I appreciate the invitation; it was pretty special.<\/p>\n
Barkley was on hand for some of the \u201ccrap shows<\/a>\u201d that occurred outside MSG as the Knicks ran through the playoffs to win their first championship in 53 years. Maybe he thought Swiftees might be on hand to cause a similar ruckus during what has been described as the American version of a royal wedding.<\/p>\n The list of sports media members who attended this royal wedding was very long<\/a>, with it seeming like all the cool kids were there to watch Swift and Kelce get hitched. And then Barkley had to go establish himself as the coolest kid, revealing he declined an invite to the very place everyone else wanted to be seen at.<\/p>\n The post Charles Barkley declined Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift wedding invite: \u2018It was going to be a crap show\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Awful Announcing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Barkley could have been like Jim Nantz, Joe Buck, Pat McAfee, Stephen A.
