So…The Good Men Project Sports team made a parody cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space.’ And now we’re sharing it with you on the Internet.

Good Men Project Sports is having the best conversation no one else is having about the intersection of sports, masculinity and the social issues of our time. And we’re having fun doing it.

Why on earth did we make this video?
A dare? We love Tay Tay? We love Sports? Two great tastes that taste great together?
Yes. All of those things.
But perhaps we need little more explanation than this:
Groove is in the heart.
If you want to sing out, sing out.
Sing for the years. Sing for the laughter. Sing for the tears.
GirlsMenWe just want to have fun.

Here’s a taste of the lyrics below, but don’t be shy, you’re going to want the full-on #GMPSports experience. Give a listen!
Nice to meet you.
Why you grin?
I can show you incredible things.
Fastball, jump shot, spin serve, dunkSaw you there and I thought oh my God
Look at that pen, you look like my next writer
Life’s a game, wanna play?On Twitter, Facebook too
We can share posts and get them seenAin’t it funny rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let’s be friends
I’m dying to see how this one ends
Grab your laptop and my hand
I can make a sports post out of almost anything
Why yes.
Yes, we can.
