“We wanted it more,” Kelce said. “All the players. All the coaches. The front office. Jeffrey Lurie. Everybody wanted it more. And that’s why we’re up here today. And that’s why we’re the first team in Eagles history to hold that freaking trophy.”
“No one wanted us. No one liked this team. No analyst liked this team to win the Super Bowl and nobody likes our fans,” Kelce continued. “You know what I got to say to all those people who doubted us … what my man Jay Ajayi just said: F— you!”
Before the debate about kneeling and "what's the NFL?" posts commence, let me state that, notwithstanding the vulgarity, there is a lesson embodied in this speech. Essentially, you can imagine that the Eagles/Philadelphia are akin Deplorables, having worked and fought for years without any success or respect. Then, along comes someone like Trump (or Kelce in this example), who calls it the way he sees it. In the end, as one writer put it, all of the fans were ready to walk through a brick wall.
Essentially, people don't respond to weakness or tepid enthusiasm. Kelce served up a scorching plate of red meat to Philadelphians everywhere...and for what it's worth, there was no mention of race, class warfare, or any claptrap like that.
In the end, Kelce will never have to pay for a drink or a meal in Philadelphia ever again. Similarly, Trump's continued fidelity to his supporters should serve him equally well.
I would say, I don’t like the iggles, I don’t like their fans, and I don’t like Philadelphia. At the same time I tip my beer to them for doing what they did. The broke the barrier. I don’t necessarily like Philadelphia, but I respect them. Props.
That was epic.
People like winners
Because all parents want their children to hear their heroes yelling F*CK’EM over and over again at a public rally.
Although I watched zero NFL this year, I’m glad that one of 3 teams who never had anyone kneel all season won the Super Bowl.
Or cross-dressing in his Mommies’ MuMu?
52 years without a championship and they descend into Madness........”
And Eagles Fans eating horse Crap.......
Gads, it must embarrassing to be a Eagles fan
Stay Classy Philadelphia, Stay Classy!
“How Bout Them Cowboys!”
There was Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, there was Martin Luther King jr. and the I Have A Dream Speech, and then there was Jason Kelce, clothed head to toe in Mummers garb.
Like mummery or not (I don’t), it’s a folk tradition that goes back hundreds of years.

And it has nothing to do with “cross dressing”.
Didn’t they have 3 black panther fists? OTOH, they beat the Patriots.
Have to give them a ‘Thank You’ for that.
Learned about the victory the same as all the other scores of the NFL this year, a crawl line the next morning.
Twas fun.Jason needs some soap in his mouth.Lot’s of kids were watching.
