Jason Kelce Reacts To Critics Mocking A Video Of Him Dancing

Jason Kelce has a message for everyone calling his dance moves embarrassing: He knows… and he’s having a great time.

On Wednesday, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center responded to critics and internet trolls who mocked a viral video that showed him dancing away on a stage prior to his appearance on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown.”

While many fans on X, formerly Twitter, celebrated the cheerful video, some users responded with nothing but negativity.

The clip attracted a lot of derision from apparently far-right commenters in particular. Kelce’s brother, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, has been the target of right-wing ire over the past year, due in part to Travis’ endorsement of the Covid-19 vaccine and his relationship with pop star and Vice President Kamala Harris supporter Taylor Swift.

Sara Gonzales, a host on the BlazeTV network,tweeted: “Counterpoint: I would be embarrassed to be seen with a grown ass man doing this.”

But Kelce, who’s married to Kylie Kelce, a head varsity high school field hockey coach, brushed off the slight.

“My wife Kylie says this often,” he responded. “Embarrassing her is one of the great joys in my life.

Kelce had some fun reflecting on his dance moves during Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, “New Heights.” He explained that he hadn’t planned to break out his moves that day, but that he had to find a way to pass the time before his appearance on “Monday Night Countdown” began.
