NFL Fans are Ripping Travis Kelce for ‘Poorly Timed’ Social Media Post

NFL fans have clearly been impacted by the results of the election. The 2024 Presidential Election wrapped up days ago, with Donald Trump elected as the 47th President of the United States. Yet, many Americans are still grappling with disappointment over the result.

Some have taken to social media to vent their frustration, targeting even the most uncontroversial posts in an outpouring of discontent.

Shortly after Donald Trump’s election victory was announced, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shared a series of photos on Instagram celebrating his team’s exciting Monday Night Football win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

 

 

For Kelce, who’s recently gained even more attention as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, the post seemed like a routine highlight of his team’s performance.

However, the timing struck a nerve with some fans. Many responses poured in, accusing Kelce of being “insensitive” for posting amid the heated aftermath of the contentious election:

“Travis pls not right now we’re mourning,” one user demanded.

“Read the room Travis,” wrote another.

“bb love you but feel like maybe this could have been rescheduled to post any day but today,” a third wrote.

 

 

Unsurprisingly, Trump supporters quickly took notice of the “read the room” comments on Travis Kelce’s post and wasted no time jumping in with their own replies. Many mocked those who criticized the timing of Kelce’s post, pointing out Trump’s recent victory as if to say, “We’re here to celebrate.”

Adding to the tension, Taylor Swift was one of Kamala Harris’s most high-profile backers. With her massive influence and worldwide fanbase, Swift’s open support for Harris made her loss all the more disappointing for her followers.

For Swifties, watching their favorite pop star’s candidate fall short felt like a personal setback, which may have fueled some of the frustration on Kelce’s page.

 

 

Despite the uproar around him, Kelce has stayed neutral, steering clear of making any political statements. He’s kept his social media focused on football, never sharing his opinions on the election or aligning himself with either side.

By keeping politics out of his public persona, Kelce has managed to avoid becoming a talking point in this divided political climate.

Kelce is clearly locked in on his team and trying to make history by winning their third straight Super Bowl. At the moment it does not look like anyone is going to stop them as they are still undefeated and have not looked like they have even been tested.
