JASON Kelce Makes Decision on Eagles Super Bowl Parade
Few people had a more unique perspective on Super Bowl LIX than former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. With deep ties to both teams involved, Kelce found himself in an emotional whirlwind as his former squad dominated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22—especially with his brother, Travis Kelce, on the losing side.
In the lead-up to the big game, Jason Kelce made it clear that he wasn’t taking sides. Speaking on the New Heights podcast, he expressed his dual loyalties:
“I’m rooting for Philadelphia, and I’m rooting for Travis Kelce. That’s the reality of it,” he said. “No matter what, on game day, I’m going to be happy for one of those sides and I’m going to be sad for the other.”
Despite maintaining his neutral stance before kickoff, Kelce acknowledged that watching the game unfold wasn’t easy. As the Eagles took control, he struggled with his emotions, torn between his former teammates and his younger brother.
“Listen, obviously, I was torn at times during the game because my brother was on the other team, but the reality is I was not rooting for one or the other,” Kelce admitted in an interview with 94 WIP. “There were so many people I care about with the Eagles organization, and I also care about my brother. That was difficult to manage—especially with the way the game went and how hard I was feeling for him.”
However, his love for Philadelphia remained undeniable. As the city prepared to celebrate its second Super Bowl victory, Kelce confirmed that he would be joining the Eagles for the championship parade.
“I’m immensely happy for all of the Eagles on this year’s team,” he said. “Guys that I played with, guys that I played for, people I was in that building with. I still go into that building nonstop. I’m immensely happy for this city and the celebration they’re gonna get.”
While Super Bowl LIX was a moment of triumph for Philadelphia, it was also a bittersweet night for Jason Kelce. He stood between two teams, two loyalties, and two emotional extremes—proud of the Eagles but hurting for his brother. Yet, at the end of it all, his love for the city and the sport shone through, proving once again why he remains a beloved figure in Philadelphia.
