Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce faced a unique dilemma on Super Bowl Sunday, having to root either for or against his brother or his brothers from other mothers on the field who he played his entire career with. Prior to the Super Bowl, Jason explained that he would be rooting for his brother Travis and the Eagles and on Monday he shared a message about the game and later responded to a minor controversy about a deleted post.
Jason Kelce shared the lengthy message on X (née Twitter) congratulating the Eagles. This was his first year in retirement after all and most of the guys on the field were teammates of his just last season. There was also a congratulatory post shared to the New Heights page that was deleted and many if not all assumed it was because of the vile and nasty comments from Swifties who had bombarded the comment section, bitter over Travis Kelce’s loss… Alas, that was not why it was deleted according to Jason Kelce.
First up, Jason Kelce had this really nice message for the Eagles on X and comforting words for his brother Travis:
After sharing that message, one follower popped in the comments to call it ‘very strange’ that the New Heights social media team would take down a post congratulating the Eagles on their Super Bowl win. Again, for much of the day everyone on X was claiming they took it down because of angry Swifties. Jason set the record straight and said he specifically asked for it to be taken down because it wasn’t enough about the team:
The fact of the matter is, the New Heights Podcast is very much run like a business and that business is out to make money. If the comment section was being bombarded by angry replies and re-shares then that’s engagement that New Heights would have been able to monetize off of. Those angry Swifties flooding the comments with anti-Eagles messages were just putting more money into the Kelce Brothers pockets and there’s no reason whatsoever they would have deleted the post when it was making them a fortune.
Jason Kelce deleted the congratulatory Eagles post for the right reason. He wanted the focus to be on the current Eagles squad and not him. It was a classy move.
