Like many Philadelphia Eagles fans, NBA legend Charles Barkley recognizes that the 2026 season is for all intents and purposes over. But unlike most Eagles fans who may feel that way, Barkley has decided to take his viewing habits to another team.
In an interview with the NFL on CBS this morning, Barkley announced that he will be a “big Buffalo Bills fan” until the end of the season now that his Eagles are out of the mix.
“I’m a diehard Eagles fan but our season is over, and I’m a big Buffalo Bills fan for the rest of the year,” Barkley announced.
An unforgivable sin.
If there’s one thing NFL fans hate more than fans of rival teams, it’s fans that change their allegiance. Just about everyone got on Barkley’s case for that comment, with Eagles fans left fuming and Bills fans mixed over whether they want him on their side.
“Barkley is a loudmouth talking head loser – has been for decades and we don’t want you as a Bills fan Chuck!” one user on X declared.
“Okay maybe it is just me. I hate this mindset so much. If my team is out of it I would rather all other 31 teams fall off a cliff and win by default before I say the words ‘I hope another team wins,'” wrote another.
“This the most (expletives) I’ve heard. I know chargers fans that are still loyal,” a third wrote.
It could just be that Barkley is joking and that as soon as the Eagles start winning again this season (if they start winning again) that he’ll be right back on their side.
But nobody likes a turncoat, not even a large number of fans they switch allegiance to.
