Travis Kelce has emerged as the best player in the league. Following in the footsteps of Rob Gronkowski, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has far outperformed expectations in his career. Off the field, Kelce made a splash by joining an upscale list of NFL players to host an episode of Saturday Night Live. But a critical performance got cut, and the NFL fandom is furious about it.

During the skit on Saturday Night Live, two dolls accompanied the Kansas City Chiefs TE. Travis Kelce looked dapper in a pink suit with a bow. Kelce and the dolls go to the American Girl Café in that sketch. Kenan Thompson also appeared in the satire, sitting at a separate table with a doll that resembled Patrick Mahomes.

The American Girl skit seemed like a hit among the fans. But one piece did not make the cut. It was supposed to feature the Kelce Brothers and Chiefs’ Creed Humphrey. The short’s concept featured an NFL Charity that stood up for male partners who could not lift their female mates in the air. The skit was named the NFL Gives Back.

The reasons this digital short did not make the cut remain a mystery. Although NBC and the SNL are notorious for not airing good sketches. It also irked the NFL Fandom.
