Jason Kelce jokingly told ‘frustrated’ wife Kylie to make him a sandwich after Harrison Butker speech
Jason Kelce is about to be in the doghouse.
The recently retired Philadelphia Eagles player joked on his and his brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast Friday that while he didn’t “align” with a lot of Harrison Butker’s sexist and anti-LGBTQ+ commencement speech, it didn’t stop him from having some fun with his wife, Kylie Kelce.
“My wife, she was, I think, a little bit frustrated with some of the comments,” Jason, 36, shared. “Initially, I said, ‘You’re going to need to go back into the kitchen and make me a sandwich. I’m listening to the game right now.’”
Travis, 34, grew silent before bursting out laughing at his brother, chiding him for his quip because they had been “doing so good” maturely discussing the Kansas City Chiefs kicker’s polarizing address.
“I hope she didn’t hear this,” Jason said.
More seriously, the former NFL center, who shares three daughters with Kylie, 32, said he was able to pick and choose what he took away from 28-year-old Butker’s comments.
“I can listen to somebody talk and take great value in it, like when he’s talking about the importance of family and the importance that a great mother can make,” Jason explained.
“When you’re listening to somebody talk, you take things in that you like. You listen to other things and you say, ‘I don’t f–king like that.’”
Travis and Jason agreed that the “beauty” of football is that people are able to “find a way to work together” and “grow together.”
