Corey Smith doesn't have much of a problem just supporting one team no matter what crowd he is playing to. Chesney is a frontrunner
Thats true, like when he pretends he is straight in front of the screaming ladies.
Listen, i dont care how big of a "fan" you claim to be, the only thing good about crimson and gator orange apparel is using it to clean up the huge dog dump the Great Dane neighbor dog just left in your yard. If i was a musician and was a hardcore sports fan, i would rather be hated for my allegiances but respected for my music then to be known as some poser who panders to rival fans like a spineless tool.
That's because no one gives a damn about Corey Smith.
When your song gets played all season long during college football season on ESPN, their is a certain obligation to play up the local football team. If I was getting paid as much as Kenny Chesney, I'd do the same thing.
If you play good music you do not have to worry about a gimmick like that ...Hey Yall look, he supports our team.
It's not a gimmick. It's no different than when a guy in a band wears a cowboy hat when they play in Nashville. Or when they change cities in songs to the city they are in.
Let's not forget that they are entertainers and its there job to show people a good time. Jort wearing mouth breathers love that stuff and they are the ones that buy records and go to the shows. I can't believe I'm backing up Chesney on this but I don't see the big deal.
