Per Philly.com, a fired-up Jason Kelce, clothed head to toe in Mummers garb,
lit up a massive crowd of Birds fans with an impassioned speech during the Eagles Super Bowl celebration Thursday on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

We wanted it more, Kelce said. All the players. All the coaches. The front office. Jeffrey Lurie. Everybody wanted it more. And thats why were up here today. And thats why were the first team in Eagles history to hold that freaking trophy.
No one wanted us. No one liked this team. No analyst liked this team to win the Super Bowl and nobody likes our fans, Kelce continued. You know what I got to say to all those people who doubted us what my man Jay Ajayi just said: F you!
Before the debate about kneeling and "what's the NFL?" posts commence, let me state that, notwithstanding the vulgarity, there is a lesson embodied in this speech. Essentially, you can imagine that the Eagles/Philadelphia are akin Deplorables, having worked and fought for years without any success or respect. Then, along comes someone like Trump (or Kelce in this example), who calls it the way he sees it. In the end, as one writer put it, all of the fans were ready to walk through a brick wall.
Essentially, people don't respond to weakness or tepid enthusiasm. Kelce served up a scorching plate of red meat to Philadelphians everywhere...and for what it's worth, there was no mention of race, class warfare, or any claptrap like that.
In the end, Kelce will never have to pay for a drink or a meal in Philadelphia ever again. Similarly, Trump's continued fidelity to his supporters should serve him equally well.
I would say, I don’t like the iggles, I don’t like their fans, and I don’t like Philadelphia. At the same time I tip my beer to them for doing what they did. The broke the barrier. I don’t necessarily like Philadelphia, but I respect them. Props.
That was epic.
People like winners
They stole that line from Millwall FC fans.
At least I would give Phila the credit of most likely to turn on their players and shoot them the moon in one way or another.
Because all parents want their children to hear their heroes yelling F*CK’EM over and over again at a public rally.
Yeah, Kelce said he had heard the chant and liked it and hoped the fans would too.....
Although I watched zero NFL this year, Im glad that one of 3 teams who never had anyone kneel all season won the Super Bowl.
It's also worth noting that following the Philadelphia Eagles 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minn. on Sunday night, Eagles Coach Doug Pederson said: I can only give the praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity.
Thanks for the reminder Doodle, that comment was epic.
Or cross-dressing in his Mommies MuMu?
52 years without a championship and they descend into Madness........
And Eagles Fans eating horse Crap.......
Gads, it must embarrassing to be a Eagles fan
Stay Classy Philadelphia, Stay Classy!
How Bout Them Cowboys!
Eagles fans are the most bitter crybabies imaginable.
There was Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, there was Martin Luther King jr. and the I Have A Dream Speech, and then there was Jason Kelce, clothed head to toe in Mummers garb.
The fans there do nothing but cry and demand a super bowl as if they deserve it now that they won they’re still bitter. His speech was disgusting negative nonsense.
Well, at least 3 snowflakes on the Eagles have already said they wouldn't visit a Trump White House.
Philadelphia will never be synonymous with Class!
“Philadelphia will never be synonymous with Class!”
Jason Witten, tight end and the co-captain of the Dallas Cowboys offense, would NEVER embarrass himself, his teammates, and his family by using such vulgarities in a speech while dressing in his flamboyant cross-dressing Mommies MuMu.
Gee Eagle players we know it’s your first time at the big dance but act like you’ve been there before.
But of course tghis will most likely tour first AND last chance at holding the Kimbardi trophy ever again.
