Looks like Travis Kelce can’t escape the Raiders Nation, not even on the golf course! NBC Sports Bay took to X, sharing a clip captioned, “These Raiders fans left Kelce hanging,” showing a not-so-enthusiastic Kelce interacting with some vocal fans.
The scene unfolded at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe (not Vegas this year!) Even a change of scenery couldn’t shield Kelce from a little friendly (or maybe not-so-friendly) Raiders smack talk. One troller chimed in with a playful jab, “You know you don’t get no love!”—a clear reference to the Chiefs’ dominance over the Raiders (five straight wins, folks!)

But underestimate Kelce at your own risk. Remember, this is the guy who throws shade like a boss on-field. And the golf course proved no different. Travis Kelce, unfazed by the heckling, delivered a brutal yet hilarious response. Since the Chiefs have the Raiders’ number, Kelce simply reminded the fans that all they could really poke fun at was his golf game—a jab that went over about as well as a shanked tee shot (which, coincidentally, might have been what sparked the whole exchange).
Well, the Kansas City TE didn’t clinch the golf tournament (ended up 71st), but he sure aced the smack talk. Meanwhile, Antonio Brown’s online trolling took aim at Kelce and his girlfriend.

Brown’s social media trolling: Kelce and Swift take heat
Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce can’t escape a little trolling, even from his own (former) teammate! Antonio Brown, the wide receiver known for his online jabs that land with all the grace of a fumbled snap, set his sights on Kelce and his popstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Brown, who’s been making headlines for reasons other than football lately (namely, filing for bankruptcy), took a hilarious (and brutal) approach. He posted a photoshopped image of what Kelce and Swift would look like in 2040. While the internet roared with laughter (“This wins the internet today” was a popular comment), there’s no denying the dig at Kelce.

What’s your perspective on:
Raiders fans just can't get enough of trolling Kelce—will he ever shut them up for good?
Have an interesting take?
This playful jab contrasts sharply with Brown’s fiery online antics, like his harsh comments towards basketball star Caitlin Clark. Meanwhile, Kelce and Swift have been savoring their high-profile romance since last September, solidifying their status as a celebrity power couple.
So, is Brown using social media as a way to deflect from his troubles? Maybe. Whether lighthearted or harsh, his online antics continue to grab attention, but the Kelce-Swift couple is simply not bothered by the WR.
