Travis Kelce Says Phillies Fans Flicked Him Off 'With a Smile' at Playoff Game

The Chiefs tight end has a love-hate relationship with Philadelphia's citizenry.

Philadelphia has had a sports year to remember in 2022.

The Eagles won the NFC title and fell just short of claiming their second Super Bowl. The Phillies, defending National League champions, are two wins away from claiming another pennant. The 76ers posted their highest win total since 2001. The Flyers also played.

Buoyed by their run of success, the City of Brotherly Love's fans are up to their old tricks. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recalled with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, how Philadelphia fans acted toward him at Game 1 of the NLCS on Wednesday's episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

"That place was f---ing electric," Travis said of the Phillies' 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks. "I love atmospheres like that. I just love walking up to stadiums like that knowing I'm going to a game. It's one of the only things that makes me feel like a kid again. There's something about going to the ballpark I'll never lose, man."

"Philly is a different atmosphere, man," Jason said.

"Gotta love getting flicked off by some of the Philly fans," Travis said.

"You got flicked off?" Jason asked.

"It was with a smile. It was like 'Ha ha! Yeah!'" Travis recalled, chuckling. "And I was like, 'Nice, man. I deserve that. I deserve every bit of that.'"

Here's hoping the other Philadelphia fan in Travis Kelce's life is at least somewhat friendlier.
