In the latest episode of their podcast New Heights, NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce addressed the backlash they faced following the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Atlanta Falcons. Fans and commentators had labeled Travis a “traitor” for his comments about his brother Jason’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and their recent performance.

Setting the Record Straight

Travis opened up about the playful banter that often occurs between him and Jason, emphasizing that it’s all in good fun. “Look, I love my brother, and we’re competitive by nature,” he explained. He acknowledged that while fans might take their rivalry seriously, it’s part of the sibling dynamic that has made their relationship special. “We’re just having fun with it,” he added.

Jason’s Perspective

Jason chimed in, expressing his frustration with the misunderstanding. “People need to realize we’re brothers first. We support each other, but we also want to win,” he said. He highlighted that the criticism was blown out of proportion, reinforcing that it’s normal for athletes to have friendly rivalries.

A Family Affair

Both brothers agreed that their bond is stronger than any team affiliation. They shared stories from their childhood and how that competitive spirit has shaped their careers. “At the end of the day, we’re family, and that comes first,” Travis noted.

As the episode concluded, the Kelce brothers reminded fans that while the NFL is filled with rivalries, the love and support among family members remain paramount. Their lighthearted take on the criticism not only showcased their strong brotherly bond but also offered a glimpse into the fun side of being professional athletes.
