The Kansas City Chiefs tight end addresses being booed while attending the NBA Finals with Patrick Mahomes over the weekend.
Travis Kelce isn’t afraid of a few little boos. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is speaking out and shaking it off after he was booed while attending a NBA Finals game over the weekend with his teammate, Patrick Mahomes.
“I got booed twice,” he said on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, New Heights, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “It’s whatever. I get it.”
Travis sat courtside with Mahomes on Sunday to watch game three of the NBA’s Western Conference finals, with the Dallas Mavericks taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Mahomes’ home state of Texas.
At one point, Travis appeared unfazed as he was met with boos after appearing on the jumbotron. Moments later, as the camera cut to Mahomes, the crowd began cheering uproariously.
“I’m not from Dallas, I’m just kinda like an innocent bystander,” Travis — who hails from Cleveland Heights, Ohio — told his brother and podcast co-host, Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce, on Wednesday’s podcast. “Maybe they just don’t like the Chiefs, I don’t know.”
Though the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys are not considered to be direct rivals within the NFL, the reigning Super Bowl champions haven’t exactly been making friends among diehard football fans outside of Chiefs Kingdom in recent years. In February, the team cemented their dynasty by winning their third Vince Lombardi trophy — two of which were back-to-back — in five years.
The Chiefs quarterback, however, appears to be immune to any taunts from Texans since he famously played for Texas Tech University from 2014 to 2016. Both Mahomes and his wife — Brittney Mahomes, who was also seated courtside with her husband on Sunday — hail from Tyler, Texas, near Dallas. The 28-year-old athlete has also been a vocal supporter of a number of Dallas-based teams, including the NBA’s Mavericks and the NHL’s Dallas Stars.
