Kelce was among those to address Butker’s speech, with the tight end admitting he disagreed with most of his teammate’s views. But he refused to condemn Butker.The Chiefs star said he ‘cherishes’ him as a teammate but cited his own upbringing – when his parents were both providers and homemakers – as the reason why he does not share the kicker’s views.
But Kelce has now come under fire for his comments, with Whitlock accusing him of being less ‘bold and honest and masculine’ than Butker.And that’s not a personal attack on Travis Kelce. It’s really an attack on the great wealth and fame and attention and adoration we pour on athletes.
‘He has no reason to be self-aware. He thinks that he’s here and he’s famous and he’s rich and he’s super successful because both of his parents worked outside the home. He doesn’t recognize because Travis Kelce is a knucklehead.’
Whitlock accused the Chiefs tight end of having ‘athletic privilege’ because he ‘hit the genetics lottery’.
