Jason Kelce has demonstrated his loyalty as an older sibling by publicly backing his brother Travis’ girlfriend. During the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Jason Kelce participated in an interview where he responded to inquiries about Taylor Swift’s impact on the NFL. He acknowledged that Swift receives significant attention because a substantial number of fans desire to see her. “The attention is present because the audience demands it,” Kelce remarked. “If people didn’t want to see her, she wouldn’t be showcased, I’m well aware of that.”
While this statement holds some truth, Kelce appears to overlook the fact that a considerable portion of the NFL audience could do without Swift’s presence in their lives. Nevertheless, he proceeded to wholeheartedly endorse Swift, describing her as an exceptional role model for young women. “She is a global sensation. Currently, she epitomizes the ideal artist – a singer-songwriter of immense talent and an unbelievable role model for young women worldwide,” Kelce affirmed. “Therefore, I believe it would be unwise for the NFL to not showcase her and serve as a role model for all the young girls out there.”
Undeniably, Swift may serve as an inspiration for what women can achieve. However, not every NFL viewer is an adolescent female seeking a role model. Nonetheless, Kelce’s support for Travis’ significant other exemplifies an admirable display of adhering to the “bro code.” Additionally, Swift’s decision to travel overnight from Japan to Las Vegas to support Travis in the Super Bowl undoubtedly brings joy to her older brother.
The mutual admiration that the Kelce brothers share for Swift can compensate for any lack of support she may receive from the NFL’s fan base.
