In a heartwarming twist of loyalty, Jason Kelce, the recently retired NFL star, reveals his unwavering allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles, even if it means rooting against his own brotherhood.
During the “No Dumb Questions” segment of the New Heights podcast hosted by Jason and his brother Travis, a fan posed a hypothetical scenario: if the 2025 Super Bowl featured a rematch between the Eagles and Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs, who would Jason support?
Without hesitation, Jason declared, “I will always be an Eagle, first and foremost,” affirming his deep-seated connection to his former team. He further expressed his genuine sentiment by adding, “I’ll also root for Travis to have a good game because he’s my brother.”
Travis, taken aback by his older brother’s response, humorously wished luck to Jason’s Eagles in jest.
Despite his allegiance to the Eagles, Jason’s support for Travis transcends team loyalties. In a memorable display of brotherly encouragement, Jason’s enthusiastic presence during the Chiefs’ playoff journey, from shirtless celebrations in Buffalo to donning overalls at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, left an indelible mark.
