Travis Kelce emerged victorious in his third Super Bowl on Sunday, triumphing over the 49ers in Las Vegas. The accomplished tight end, who secured his second Super Bowl title, expressed his disagreement with the opposing team’s coach. In an episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis criticized the decision of the San Francisco 49ers to receive the ball during Super Bowl LVIII overtime. He believed that this choice ultimately gave the Kansas City Chiefs the advantage needed to secure their 25-22 victory and claim their third Super Bowl win in the past five years.
Travis voiced his thoughts on the podcast, stating:
“I couldn’t believe it when the 49ers took the ball to start overtime. Winning the coin toss gives you the opportunity to have the advantage, and they handed it right to us.”
Despite the backlash, Travis Kelce was seen celebrating shortly after the tragic shooting incident that took place during the Kansas City Chiefs parade. The tight end faced criticism online as he was photographed posing for pictures and continuing the Super Bowl festivities. These images, in which Kelce can be seen smiling and holding a bottle of beer while taking a selfie with two police officers outside a sports bar, quickly went viral on social media.
The athlete expressed his love for Kansas and shared his devastation over the mass shooting on social media. However, fans were divided over his decision to continue celebrating. Three individuals have been detained by the police for further investigation, and it is estimated that 22 people were injured, with one fatality.
Travis Kelce has not yet addressed the criticism publicly. The incident occurred just moments after the Kansas City Chiefs players had finished their speeches at the parade and rally, celebrating their Super Bowl victory. Videos captured by witnesses showed some Chiefs supporters apprehending the suspected shooters until law enforcement arrived at the scene.
