Travis Kelce, a well-known NFL player, was recorded wearing a microphone during the Super Bowl. This means that the moment when he criticized his head coach, Andy Reid, on the sideline was captured in an audio/video file. This file is currently stored within NFL Films, a production company owned by the league.
Recently, “Inside The NFL” on CW aired footage from the Super Bowl that included the audio from the microphones. However, they curiously chose to mute the exchange between Reid and Kelce. The official NFL YouTube account also uploaded an alternative version of the game with microphone audio, but it excluded the moment involving Kelce.
It is clear that someone does not want the public to hear what Kelce shouted at his head coach. According to two sources cited by the New York Post, there is a belief that the Kansas City Chiefs, specifically Andy Reid, are responsible for preventing the clip from being aired. These sources suggest that the Chiefs may have influenced NFL Films and “Inside the NFL” to withhold the direct soundbite of Kelce, although it is unlikely that much persuasion was needed.
Travis Kelce is a highly popular NFL athlete, and his relationship with Taylor Swift has further increased interest in Chiefs’ games, particularly among female viewers. This contributed to the Super Bowl being the most-watched in history. It is in the best interest of the league not to release a video that would portray Kelce as an unstable individual while disrespecting his 65-year-old head coach.
According to a lip-reader, Kelce allegedly said, “Hey, come on, you f–ker, put me in.” However, there is still a possibility that an employee within NFL Films may anonymously leak the audio clip. If this were to happen, it would undoubtedly generate a significant amount of attention and discussion.
