The Kelce Brothers Have Made It Clear Which Way They Lean Politically
The Spun ^ | Aug 18, 2024 | Andrew Holleran

Jason and Travis Kelce have become one of the most-popular NFL brother duos in history.

While Peyton and Eli Manning dominated most of the NFL brother talk for years, Jason and Travis Kelce are coming for their throne lately. Jason and Travis Kelce have their own podcast and are reportedly seeking a $100 million deal for it. Perhaps we'll see them with their own "Manningcast" style live shows in the future, too.

And, like the Manning brothers, Travis and Jason Kelce have made it pretty clear which way they lean politically over the years.

Travis, who is still playing, and Jason, who retired after the 2023 season, appear to lean to the right.

Jason Kelce went viral for taking a shot at right-leaning Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker earlier this year. Jason Kelce mocked Butker's "diabolical lies" speech given to graduates at Benedictine College's commencement ceremony.

"All of you have been fed diabolical lies that washing every crevice of your bodies and hair, all the time is somehow better or healthier. Any dermatologist not in bed with Big Soap will agree!! Hot spots are all that is necessary and actually leads to cleaner healthier skin," he joked

Travis Kelce, meanwhile, has shown through his actions where he stands. In recent years, the Chiefs tight end has:

-Appeared in socially progressive sketches on the NBC show "Saturday Night Live"

-In 2017, he became one of the first white players to kneel for the national anthem

-He's done a commercial for the vaccine

-And he's done endorsements for Bud Light

Neither Travis nor Jason Kelce have spoken out politically ahead of the 2024 presidential election, but perhaps that is coming soon.

Certainly, an endorsement from the Kelce brothers could go a long way to Kamala Harris's campaign (or Donald Trump's, if they surprise and go a different way).

What do you make of the Kelce brothers and their political leanings in 2024?

They’ll go full RAT once Tater writes a song about them and sings it on one of her “Errors” fundraisers.

Another wonderfully edited article or just poor AI. Says they lean to the right then spends the rest of the article talking about how they are lefties, which we all knew. As for the Mannings, Peyton is a Republican, nobody knows Eli’s affiliation.

Max Crosby who basically is the Oakland Raiders franchise best player now literally was palling around with Trump backstage in Vegas today. Trump has a ton of nfl personalities who support him they just don’t jump up and down about it like when a democrat does an endorsement.

I thought it was just me that was confused.

I am leaning toward bad writing on this one. Wrote a sentence, made changes to it and got it garbled when he didn't read the rewritten sentence.

These people never came out and said anything about a football player who was a serial rapists, the domestic violence players. Or the drunk drivers, including Henry Ruggs III, who killed a woman and a dog in a crash.

Some player could give a speech in favor of communism. I would disagree, but I wouldn't say they shouldn't be allowed to say it, and I certainly wouldn't act like it's worse than rape or domestic violence.

Have already referred to democrat guys at work as Low T. Is it low brow? Yeah, it is. But I’m gonna do it anyway. After the so called guys i saw at the democratic convention, guys need to be shamed into voting for trump. Whatever it takes.

Joe Burrows is a big time Democrat, but he took a picture with Trump and another player at some event like UFC.

Nobody is going to vote for whoever these two lean towards due to their preferences.

Very few people in this country are that impressionable, but they do exist, just not in significant numbers.

The media is desperately pushing “celebrities” to support dems, but anyone clueless enough to actually be swayed by the opinion of a “celebrity” was likely already leaning heavily in that direction in the first place.

Tua was at a Trump speech in Florida in July for every Dem I can name a Republican

He’s kind of an idiot. But the fact he donated to Romney and Jeb Bush doesn’t impress me that much.

Are you sure? From what I read, it was photoshopped, and it was actually Barron's seat. Do you have any other evidence.

It used to be most Republican athletes were Republicans.

Nick Bosa supposedly supported Trump, but when he was drafted, the NFL told him he couldn't do that.

Now do some pro athletes vote for Trump or Republicans in secret? Maybe, who knows?

Supposedly Lamar Jackson likes Trump, but it's hard to say.
