Jason Kelce was, like lots of Americans, the fourth of July and took some of the best fireworks.
But when the Philadelphia Eagles legend went to social media to celebrate, he was greeted with lots of vitriol.
“Man, I love the 4th! One of the great days we can all set aside our differences in this country and enjoy the one thing we all share in common. That we are American! Cheers for you oh beautiful America,” Kelce wrote in an Instagram post of a video of some fireworks.

Almost immediately he was ripped in the comments.
Kelce’s posts came hours after President Donald Trump signed the “big, beautiful bill”, which seemed to be the catalyst for setback in the former NFL player’s comment section.
“Set aside differences? One party wants to feed children. The other wants to feed brown people to alligators,” a person wrote.
“Unfortunately, Jason is not real life for many. They signed the worst bill for so many Americans today just to rub it in our faces. I know it’s hard to understand, but so many will suffer,” added another.
Another user called his post “Tone Deaf.”

“Love you knob but this is so out of contact, I ask you to read the room rn. So many suffer,” added another.
A more user said there is “nothing beautiful about this country right now.”
The post had over 2,000 comments at the time of release. His three previous posts combined for just over 1,000 comments.

Kelces has usually been silent about their political convictions, but Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, approved Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election.
