Travis Kelce Slams FOX for ‘Dirty’ Move in Reaction to Tom Brady Replacing Greg Olsen
Kelce spoke out to defend his fellow TE Greg Olsen
Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce recently voiced his support for former NFL star Greg Olsen amidst a shake-up in the FOX Sports broadcasting team. Kelce, alongside his brother Jason, shared his sentiments on his New Heights podcast, criticizing FOX’s decision to demote Olsen following the hiring of Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady for a similar role.
The controversy arose as FOX moved Olsen, a seasoned commentator with a history of success on the air, from the A-team to the B-team after acquiring Brady. Kelce did not mince words, stating that FOX “did him dirty” with the decision. He praised Olsen’s proficiency in the commentator’s booth, particularly highlighting his performance during the Super Bowl.
While acknowledging Brady’s legendary status in football, both Kelce brothers stood firm in their support for Olsen, emphasizing his prowess as a color commentator. Jason Kelce echoed Travis’ sentiments, expressing excitement for Brady’s debut in the broadcasting world while acknowledging Olsen’s unparalleled skills.
Fans are divided on FOX’s decision to cut Olsen
Despite Olsen’s widespread recognition as one of the top commentators in NFL broadcasting, he finds himself in a subordinate position to Brady. This move has sparked debates about experience versus celebrity status in the broadcasting industry.
