Philadelphia is home to some of the greatest sports fans on earth. This is an indisputable fact. But there is a tiny number of those fans who need to be shamed for turning on Jason Kelce for showing empathy toward his brother losing the Super Bowl.
This started a week or so ago when Jason Kelce revealed he would be rooting for his brother *AND* for the Eagles in the Super Bowl, he’s an Eagles fan and a Travis Kelce fan. Then the tiny faction of Philly fans who are currently losing their minds on social media were somehow upset when yesterday Jason Kelce shared a statement effusively congratulating the Eagles on winning the Super Bowl but also shared how it hurt him to watch his brother struggle.
He points out that Travis is his best friend, a person he loves/cares about more than anyone on earth but finished the statement with a profane congratulations for the Eagles. You can read that in full here if you want or just scroll past the image to the Philly fans who are turning on Jason for showing empathy toward his family…
The ‘some Philly fans are turning on Jason Kelce’ story was brought to my attention by one of the BroBible staffers who happens to be off today. Since most of you out there don’t know the ins and outs of our team here, let me just say that about 1/3 of the entire staff went to Penn State and are Eagles fans, though I’m not included in that number. Someone in the comments yesterday accused BroBible of having an anti-Philly bias and I hadn’t laughed at stupidity like that in years.
At the heart of this is people angry that Jason was empathetic toward his brother on X and on his podcast. Anyway, here’s an example of one of those Eagles fans turning on Jason Kelce which you can see if you type his name into the search box on X (née Twitter):
Another example of Eagles fans turning on Jason Kelce:
I understand the tough situation but sounding more dejected about his brother losing a Super Bowl than he did when we lost while he was literally on the team doesn’t sit right with me ngl

Thankfully, there are A LOT MORE Eagles fans in the comments calling out the clown takes.
My hope is that after a few hours pass this can all be chalked up to a small faction of Eagles fans who are turning on Jason Kelce are doing so because they’re still hungover from the Super Bowl celebrations. He will go into Canton as an Eagle. Jason was the captain and he won the organization its first-ever Super Bowl. He gave everything he had, for years, for the Eagles.
To question his loyalty to the organization is purely asinine. It’s as simple as that. And if those fans are willing to turn on a man who was...
