The former Philadelphia Eagles star center Jason Kelce came into the spotlight recently. The LII Super Bowl champion made some controversial remarks about Louis Reese-Zammit and Wales. Rob McElhenney took the matter into his own hands and Jason Kelce asked for forgiveness for his statements late.

Jason Kelce’s comments on Reese-Zammit and Wales

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Louis Reese-Zammit will be playing together this season. The latter has joined the Chiefs on a three-year deal. The other Kelce brother, Jason, talked about the youngster Louis. He commented that he had the idea that Wales was full of “posh” and “rich, upper-class, just beautiful white people”.


The words were not welcomed by the Welsh community on social media. Jason Kelce faced backlash over the same. He added that Reese-Zammit has the potential to take the league by storm and might become the most marketable player of all time. However, the other parts of his statements had already done the damage.
