Jason Kelce sends blunt message to Philadelphia Eagles haters and fans on X
The former Eagles player didn’t hold back when he sent a post-Super Bowl message on social media.
The aftermath of the Philadelphia Eagles astonishing Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs is still well on everyone’s lips.
In what was an astonishing game, the Eagles completely dismantled a previously unbeatable Chiefs side, restricting them to few chances and picking them off every time they tried to progress in what could prove to be a watershed moment for the modern standings in the sport as a whole.
Ahead of the game, former Eagles star Jason Kelce was a huge talking point, as he batted for both sides in the previews given the fact that his brother, Travis, was one of the leading men in the Chiefs' lineup.
Post-game, Jason’s award-winning show he shares with his brother, the New Heights Podcast, shared a message online congratulating the Eagles: “Congrats to all our Birds fans and Jason’s Eagles teammates on an incredible season“, it read.

‘I didn’t win shit in this one'
This show of sportsmanship didn’t go down well with pod fans, who quickly took to the social media site to berate Jason and co. for the message, questioning why a current Chiefs player would congratulate the side after a win.
Many people believed that the Swiftie community had had their feathers ruffled by the seemingly harmless post, and it was quickly taken down. The talk continued, however, and in the end the NFL legend stepped into the public eye to address the controversy.
“I had Jake take that graphic down because that post had too many pictures of me. I wanted the post to be reflective of the guys who just won, not me. I didn’t win shit in this one, it felt weird to congratulate this team with a bunch of pictures of me.”
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever.
That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago.
On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career. I am very proud for Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and this entire team. They have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly, and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season. It is extremely difficult for a team in the NFL to have enough talent, coaching, fortune, and character to win a Super Bowl.
The character and swagger of this Eagles team was something truly special to behold. A true representation of the toughness and grit that makes Philadelphia what it is. Well done fellas, well fucking done. As for my brother, There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past.
I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, But in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever. Man I love this sport, the people that play it, and the fans that enjoy it. Nothing else like it. Congratulations Philadelphia, I look forward to the speeches and celebrations that will happen in the coming days. I mean who doesn’t love a parade! In the words of Chase Utley “World Fucking Champs”, and to all the haters out there, remember what my man Jay Ajayi said “Fuck Em”

That game was odd for me to watch if…
Jason spent his entire NFL career with Philadelphia, winning Super Bowl LII back in 2018, before retiring in 2023.
