TikTok Takes On Sports Going Viral For Horsham Mom

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —Katy Kahn knows the surroundings she's living in, having spent years living in the township and neighboring Hatboro.

This is the Philly suburbs and, after all, sports fans here bleed green for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Her husband Len does and, like a lot of people in this area, he's a faithful follower of the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers. His weekend revolves around Eagles games.

But not Katy. She's not a follower. She has a following.

Kahn spends her time putting together videos that riff and spiff on sports, providing takes on TikTok that have generated 141,000 followers and 4.5 million likes.

Kahn calls it "theater-splaining," she said in an interview with Patch Tuesday.

Her hysterical thoughts, especially a video about pickup basketball, are drawing eyeballs to the social media platform and laughs from her audience, which is 65 percent women.

In one video, Kahn calls Brandon Marsh "the most confusing Phillie" because his "hair is always wet and his beard is always dry."

And Kahn is an 11th-grade Literature teacher at Mastery Charter School in Philadelphia.

"I want them to win," Kahn said of the Philadelphia teams. "I want the city to win."

But she doesn't participate.

"I'm not a sports fan," she said. "I could care less. It doesn't interest me. I think it's great for other people."

At her son 10-year-old son Cole's basketball game, she was there for "moral support," not watching the action but reading on her Kindle. Her daughter Chloe, 11, was doing the same thing.

Her husband begged to go to the parade after the Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017. "It's too cold," Kahn responded to Len.

The couple has been married for 13 years. Both children are in the Hatboro-Horsham School District.

Instead, she pokes fun at the sports. Watch her TikTok videos here.

She'll wear Sixers hoodies and sweatshirts while spiffing about Sixers MVP Joel Embiid, whom her husband loves.

She does pepper her husband about the sports he's watching, asking questions about plays and calls and rules.

One of her posts that got the ball rolling was her take on pickup basketball games.

She found it funny that a group of strangers could get together and shoot hoops, abide by the rules, and leave the court once they lose to handshakes and high-fives.

And while she has her TikTok followers, sometimes she gets comments that she can't seem to avoid living in the land of Eagles green.

"Go Birds," someone will post on her videos now and then.
