Social media users want Terry Bradshaw, a football host for Fox, gone. Following Super Bowl LVII, Bradshaw made comments about Chiefs Coach Andy Reid’s weight that some found inappropriate.
Bradshaw referred to Reid as “big guy” and asked him to “waddle over here” during an interview. He later made a comment about Reid having a cheeseburger, possibly in reference to a previous statement made by Reid.

Some viewers criticized Bradshaw’s comments as hurtful and considered it fat-shaming, particularly given that it occurred during a significant professional accomplishment for Reid. USA Today’s For the Win suggested that Fox Sports reconsider Bradshaw’s role in NFL coverage.
Below is Awful Announcing’s coverage of the incident. Their clip includes the comment about Reid having a cheeseburger. Bradshaw clearly sounds like he is trying to joke when mentioning the cheeseburger and Hawaiian shirts, but fans just aren’t having it on social media.

I am a big fan of Terry Bradshaw. He has made a few unsavory comments over the last year, but I wouldn’t want to see him removed over something that only fans were upset about. It would be hard to defend him if Andy Reid called him out publicly.
Don’t listen to me though. Bradshaw took plenty of heat on Twitter.

I don’t think the cheeseburger comment crossed the line but “waddling over her” certainly did. I think it may be time for Terry Bradshaw to step down.

Time for Terry to retire.
