Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce clarified his recent remarks about the World Series on a podcast episode, emphasizing that he did not intend to offend Canada. In the podcast, Kelce questioned why he should be excited about a “Canadian baseball team” competing in the World Series against a team with a higher budget.
After facing criticism from Canadian baseball fans, Kelce took to social media on Friday to address the situation. He mentioned that the podcast clip did not capture the full context of his comments. Kelce’s younger brother Travis, a tight end for Kansas City, commended both teams for their performance in the intense seven-game World Series.
Kelce expressed his surprise at the podcast’s social media team for not presenting the complete story. He humorously mentioned his appreciation for Canadian staples like poutine, maple syrup, and beavers. Kelce clarified that his comments were directed at his lack of personal investment in the outcome of a World Series where the team with the highest financial resources ultimately triumphed.
