The full NFL schedule is not yet officially released, but some leaks and previews caused discomfort for one of the Kansas City Chiefs stars.
Travis Kelce, did not hold back his displeasure when he commented that the team’s first game against the Los Angeles Chargers will be played in Brazil. On his podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the tight end explained that he will be traveling to the South American country but not to do the podcast, “I’ll be playing football in the f***ing heat” .
The extreme heat, coupled with the high percentage of humidity for which the country is characterized, will be difficult to deal with during the day. Above all, due to the date on which the match is scheduled to take place, since in September the days start to get much warmer as we enter spring.
In addition, he explained that for example, he does not like playing in Jacksonville for the same reason and expects Brazil to be much worse.
There’s just something about getting close to the equator, I don’t want to put on a football uniform doing that. I’ve been in Jacksonville in September, and that’s f***ing miserable.
It wouldn’t be the only factor causing problems
Adding to Travis’ complaint, his brother Jason reached back to Sept. 6, 2024, where the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles faced off in a historic game that ended 34-29 in their favor.
This was the first time an NFL showdown took place in this country. However, the condition of the field took all the attention. “The field was atrocious last year,” Jason said. “It was noticeably bad; they were slipping all over the place. It was a bad field. Just letting you know, wear your seven studs.”
Despite this, Eagles was victorious and Travis will be looking for the same result: “If it’s hot and humid and kind of what I’m expecting, I’m gonna be miserable. But we’re gonna find a way to get a win,” said Trav.
Now, it only remains to wait for the confirmation of the game and to know if the Kansas City Chiefs will be able to overcome the weather and field conditions. And especially the Los Angeles Chargers.
