Kansas City Chiefs star (and Taylor Swift’s fiancé) Travis Kelce is getting into the activist investing business.
The NFL athlete, podcast host and burgeoning actor joined the activist investment firm Jana Partners in a bid to seek an overhaul of Six Flags, the theme park company that owns Knott’s Berry Farm, Cedar Point and Six Flags amusement parks across the country.
Jana disclosed that it now holds approximately 9 percent of Six Flags shares, alongside Kelce, former Gap CEO Glenn Murphy and tech executive and former J.D. Power CEO Dave Habiger. The firm says it plans “to engage with the company’s board of directors and management regarding opportunities to enhance shareholder value and improve the guest experience.”
“I am a lifelong Six Flags fan and grew up going to these parks with my family and friends,” said Travis Kelce in a statement. “The chance to help make Six Flags special for the next generation is one I couldn’t pass up.”
Kelce grew up in Ohio, not far from Cedar Point.
“We look forward to working with the Six Flags board and management to unlock shareholder value for the benefit of all stakeholders,” added Jana managing partner Scott Ostfeld.

I thought he changed his name to Kelce Swift?
Is he going to require everyone who wants to get into the park to be vaccinated?
Is he going to keep black teens out of the parks?
I read the article and don’t see specifically what he is being “avtivist” about.
He and his brother, who popped up on jeopardy today, they’re ubiquitous. What is their deal? Who do they really work for?
We’re stick with them for life? Like the Clinton’s?
Let’s hope it’s just more like Michigan J Frog
He is overkill. She only needed to hide a big camel toe. Now it expects private jet rides, a girly-man harem of dudes pretending to be girls, a sky box every game day(useless), a completely unhinged psychological basket case brother in law, and an attendant in the bedroom to manage 300 throw pillows and mop up bodily fluids as necessary. Possibly a former P.Diddy valet?
In other words, reporter helping him make headlines to increase stock price so his fiance will do interview next.
He’ll get a better ride on one of the roller coasters than he will on Miss Swift.
so when does Kelce find time to play NFL football?
Exactly. The cure is RACIST
In the last sentence of the excerpt, it says he is going to “unlock shareholder value.” Sounds like a brilliant plan to me.
What a beard I say!!
Well Cedar Point’s Top Thrill is over in 2 minutes!
THAT IS WHAT KILLED 6 FLAGS.
IN SO CALIF-—BLACKS BOUGHT THEIR KIDS SUMMER PASSES & THE KIDS SPENT ALL SUMMER AT 6 FLAGS RUNNING AMOK. NO SUPERVISION.
IT WAS NASTY
