Travis Kelce brushed off the recent booing he received while attending an NBA finals game with Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany.
The Kansas City Chiefs player is no stranger to criticism. When he’s facing off on the field, the 34-year-old is the target of opposing fan transgressions. That said, it’s unusual for him to be booed as a spectator rather than a player. Yet, on May 26, a strong dislike for Kelce spewed from spectators at the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks game.
“I got booed twice,” the professional athlete confessed on the May 29 podcast episode of New Heights. “It’s whatever. I get it.”
Kelce might not have cared about the obvious distaste toward him, but when his teammate was featured on the jumbotron, the stadium’s reaction was drastically different. When Mahomes’ face popped up on the big screen, fans roared with excitement for the Texas native.
“I got caught of guard,” Kelce told his brother, Jason, during the podcast recording. The celebrity player – who’s currently dating Grammy winner Taylor Swift – was taking a selfie when Mahomes poked him to bring his attention to the jumbotron.
