One of the many personal problems that NBA veteran Dennis Rodman has faced is his distance from his daughter, USWNT champion Trinity Rodman. Washington Spirit forward called out her absentee father on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast earlier this week. She accused him of only attending for publicity purposes; the situation reached a crescendo.
Five-time NBA champion Rodman answered with a long and heartfelt Instagram post, stating unequivocally that he wants to be in a relationship with his child.
Dennis Rodman wrote, “Sorry I wasn’t the Dad you wanted me to be but either way I still tried and I still Try and Never will Stop. I will keep Trying even when you’re being told as an adult not to respond to my phone calls. I will try even when it’s difficult and it takes a long time. I’m always here And tell you all the time rather it’s your voice or voicemail how proud I am. I always had one wish and it was I wish my kinds would call me and come see me. Hopefully one day I can get that. I’m here and I’m still trying pick up the phone you have my number, You see me calling, I’m still here…”

Despite her father’s public apologies, Trinity is not buying it. Rodman described the apology as “a joke” and a publicity stunt on her Instagram Story. She said she would use it to wipe her hands and go on.

“A joke. The response alone. And the attention. Wiping my hands with it I’m done. Thank you,” Trinity wrote in her Instagram story.
Dennis Rodman And His Daughter Has A Complicated History
Dennis, a former NBA player, went on to say that he sees Trinity play soccer “all the time” and that he even traveled to watch a match but was advised not to come because of who he was with. Instead, he watched from his hotel balcony.
According to SpotRac, her father allegedly made over $27 million during his NBA career, but Trinity clarified that she had once been compelled to live in a vehicle. In 2021, she became the youngest player ever recruited into the NWSL. The Washington Spirit selected her at the age of 18. Dennis had not talked to his daughter in a long time when he unexpectedly showed up for the Spirit’s playoff quarterfinal game.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
