Travis Kelce, the 35-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has responded to recent criticism with a refreshing sense of humor, revealing that he simply “laughs” at the trolls. In a press conference on Friday, January 24, Kelce was called “slow” and “washed up” by some critics, but he’s taking it all in stride.
When asked about the criticism, Kelce said with a smile, “I laugh at it. It’s fun, man. As long as I’m going out there and we’re winning, baby, that’s all that matters.” His positive attitude is something that keeps him grounded, especially as his team prepares for a critical playoff game this Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of making another Super Bowl appearance, with Kelce looking to secure his fourth ring. The upcoming game is crucial as the Chiefs close in on a victory that could bring them one step closer to championship glory.
This latest wave of criticism follows Kelce’s remarks on his New Heights podcast earlier this season, where he hinted that he might be nearing the end of his football career. Reflecting on his game in Cleveland, he said, “I don’t know if it’s the last time I’ll ever play in Cleveland, but it kinda felt like I was just giving it one last hurrah before I’m done because I’ve only played there twice in 12 years.”
As the Chiefs head into the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, Kelce is undeterred by the negative comments and remains focused on helping his team succeed. With the chance to make history once again, Kelce’s determination and sense of humor may be the key to the Chiefs’ continued success.
