Travis Kelce Defends Harrison Butker
“However, when it comes down to his views and what he said at the Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views.”
Fans of Kelce were immediately outraged by this and took to social media, where they began to rip the tight end apart. “Travis believes whatever he’s told to believe. He hasn’t had an original thought in 2 years,” one fan said.
“This guy has become a clown. He just says whatever is needed to say to get his paycheck,” wrote another. “Kelce is just a well-trained groupie,” claimed another angry fan.
Kelce is now in hot water after he failed to condemn Butker’s statements. NFL fans and even the Swifties are turning against the three-time Super Bowl Champion.
Will Travis Kelce be able to turn this all around before it is too late? Furthermore, could defending Harrison Butker affect his relationship with Taylor Swift? Only time will tell, as fans are dying to know the outcome of this messy situation.
