After being made fun of on social media for having a beer on an NBA date night with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce got unwavering backing from a rival NFL tight end.
On Saturday night, George Kittle, a standout for the San Francisco 49ers and a close buddy of Kelce when they aren’t playing each other in the NFL, took it upon himself to shoot down a fan who criticized Kelce’s actions.
During a break in the NBA playoff game between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers, Kelce’s hometown team, the Kansas City Chiefs player downed a beer in one go while his fiancée Swift laughed and covered her eyes. “Travis Kelce looking and acting like a teenager who just discovered alcohol is the farthest thing from a role model I can imagine,” a fan named Tony Farmer wrote on X, sharing a video of the incident.
When Kittle saw it, he responded by making fun of the fan for criticizing Kelce for having fun on a Saturday night during the offseason, saying, “Tony, you gotta chill out man.” Have fun, perhaps? “I’m not sure,” Kittle replied.
On the jumbotron during the Cleveland Cavaliers game, Travis Kelce was seen downing a drink.
Swift was astonished and dumbfounded when her lover performed for the audience.
Farmer’s outburst, “I’ll never call anyone out for chugging beers or call it immature as long as I live if I can get an honest two-sentence reaction from you on the Dianna Russini situation,” was in response to Kittle’s previous criticism of Russini regarding the alleged affair between New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL reporter for The Athletic. You’ve previously criticized her reporting, so I suppose you have an opinion. “What in the world do those two things have to do with each other?” wrote Farmer. “What planet are you on, Tony?” Kittle replied, accompanied by two emojis of tears of laughter. Trav is enjoying the excitement of the crowd at his team’s playoff game. At stadiums, beer is sold. Bud Light is a sponsor of the NFL. It’s acceptable to enjoy yourself sensibly.
“This is a big moment for Tony,” Kittle continued, mocking Farmer’s claim that Kelce’s antics were an advertising gimmick. I’m happy that he’s making money. Well done. We’re cheering him on. In any case, come see us at the sold-out Melbourne crowd this autumn.
Kittle’s remark about Melbourne relates to his 49ers’ September 10 season opener versus the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.
However, Kittle’s participation in that game is still up in the air, and the smart money says he might not.
After taking a six-yard catch in the second quarter of the 49ers’ playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the 32-year-old turned awkwardly and fell, tearing his Achilles.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle shielded Kelce from the criticism directed at him.
Before the 2017 NFL season begins, Kittle is battling to heal from a damaged Achilles.
The 49ers organization is confident that Kittle will return quickly despite the fact that recovery from surgery can take up to a year. “Knowing George, I wouldn’t doubt it (playing in Australia),” quarterback Brock Purdy said last week about his teammate. “He’s done absolutely everything possible in terms of rehab and what you can do to get back, and that’s George.”
He exceeds the typical individual by 5,000 percent in whatever he does. Obviously, we adore him and the energy he provides. He is a real captain, though. He does everything correctly.
