Whoopi Goldberg and the hosts of “The View” voiced support for Travis Kelce prior to Super Bowl LIX, an event where the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end was set to compete against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce faced criticism before the game after expressing that it was “cool” Donald Trump would be present at the Super Bowl, stating that “it’s a great honor, I think, no matter who the president is.
Kelce expressed his enthusiasm since this match is the most significant one he’s ever played, and to have the president attend – well, that’s just what makes it even more awesome because we’re talking about the finest nation on earth.
The news and social media enthusiasts widely reacted to Kelce’s statement, largely due to Trump’s past criticisms of Taylor Swift, who publicly supported Kamala Harris for presidency last fall. This endorsement led Trump to make derogatory comments about Swift on his Truth Social platform, including the phrase “I hate Taylor Swift.” However, despite numerous headlines implying a connection between Kelce’s quote and the ongoing Trump-Swift controversy, reporters never directly questioned Kelce about this matter.
Alyssa Farah Griffin remarked on “The View” (as reported by Entertainment Weekly) that she found his behavior very dignified and appropriate for such an important occasion, and she believes this sentiment will be repeated often during the next four years. In essence, she emphasized that the presidency outshines any individual, so he would express similar sentiments if it were Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or George Bush in office.
Sara Haines noted that Kelce was questioned about Trump possibly attending the Super Bowl as part of his team, and she commented: “He’s decked out in his uniform – regardless of whether it’s your business, your identity, or your team, you’re standing for something bigger. And he emphasized, ‘I admire this nation.’ This wasn’t about expressing adoration for a particular individual.
As a die-hard movie fan, I’d put it like this: “Just like me when I criticize a director during an interview, if Kelce were to speak out against Trump before the Super Bowl, it could lead to a bigger backlash and potentially negative consequences for his team.
We’re familiar with his brother, Jason Kelce; they are a close-knit and protective family, particularly when it comes to their women,” Sunny Hostin continued. “I feel compelled to mention a tweet from Trump about Taylor Swift: ‘I dislike Taylor Swift.’ It’s likely that Travis Kelce is aware of this sentiment. Trump was being tactful in this situation, and I believe he made the right choice by not engaging with such controversy.
Whoopi Goldberg didn’t directly support Kelce, but she expressed solidarity with her “The View” colleagues who spoke out against the criticism. She also emphasized that they are resisting being drawn into the madness, stating: “Part of our role is not to fuel this, because we aim to assist you in not becoming like this.” She continued by saying, “I think the kid did well.
Kelce competes in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9.
