Jason Kelce Breaks Silence on Racial Stereotype Criticism With a Heartfelt Response to Viral Dance Moves

Jason Kelce’s dance moves might make you want to hit the floor, but his latest tweet will have you pausing mid-spin. When the former Eagles center rocked the pregame party with his high-energy antics, he sparked more than just excitement—he stirred up a storm of controversy.

After catching flak over perceived racial stereotypes from his viral dance-off, Jason Kelce dropped a tweet to clear the air. “I’ll admit I am all of these adjectives at times, but if you think these are the only words that I represent, I highly recommend you watch my documentary on Amazon. Very successful, and while playful, still has a lot of values about life, family, fatherhood, and marriage that you would appreciate. Also, my retirement speech, while admittedly crying much more than I wanted to, is a different tone than my buffoonery as well,” Kelce wrote. He added a nod to his retirement speech, acknowledging the emotional tone that contrasts sharply with his on-stage antics.

The 36-year-old’s tweet comes after a lively pregame at the Eagles vs. Falcons match. On ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Kelce, back at his old stomping grounds, turned heads with his dance moves and beer-tossing antics. His wife, Kylie Kelce, was in the crowd, taking in the spectacle with a mix of amusement and pride.

The Chiefs’ star TE Travis Kelce didn’t miss a beat either. On their New Heights podcast, he teased his brother about his apparent state of inebriation. “I could tell, by the way, you were talking in the third quarter in the booth that you had been on an up-and-down roller coaster of being in and out of being drunk since about noon,” Travis quipped. Jason shot back with a laugh, claiming he had “zero beers” and joking about his pregame shenanigans.

The dance moves that stole the show were a hit on social media, amassing over 6.7M views on IG. The clip, shared by New Heights, captured Jason in a velour tracksuit, showcasing what some are calling a new dance move. In the comments, Eagles CB Darius Slay Jr.’s wife, Jennifer Slay, chimed in with, “I now know that Slay had some funny competition in the locker room. Kelce is HILARIOUS.”

As Jason and his family navigate the spotlight, they’re not alone. Other NFL stars have joined in the fun, reacting to Kelce’s viral moves and keeping the energy high.

Kansas City’s superstar QB Patrick Mahomes joined in on the fun. He re-shared the ESPN clip on X, captioning, “go crazy then!!” and a flurry of laughing emojis. What’s more, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dancer, Kameron Saunders, also got in on the action. Saunders took the stuff on IG, declaring “PHILLY JASON KELCE IS VIBES. LMAO this is gold! I wanna dance with @jason.kelce.” Clearly, Jason Kelce’s moves made waves!

But not everyone was busting a move in sync. During his debut as an ESPN analyst, the Super Bowl LII champ took some heat when he revealed he needs to buy a new shirt from the mall after forgetting his bag. ESPN’s IG post had fans cracking up, highlighting a gap in his shirt with the note, “Jason forgot his travel bag in the car.” Travis Kelce couldn’t resist teasing his brother, saying, “Surprised he even bought a new one and didn’t just go shirtless,” poking fun at the 36-year-old’s previous shirtless antics.

Whether he’s dancing like nobody’s watching or snagging big deals, Jason Kelce keeps proving that he knows how to keep things fun and fresh.
