Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, recently found himself the subject of playful mockery after an old tweet from 2010 resurfaced online.
The tweet, which read, “Happy Easter to all. Shout out to Jesus for taking one for the team. Ha ha,” was unearthed on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, and quickly went viral.
During the April 23 episode of their podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Travis’s older brother, Jason, couldn’t resist poking fun at the decade-old post. Jason labeled it as “potentially the greatest tweet ever tweeted on Easter day,” while Travis responded with, “This is so f—— dumb,” acknowledging the tweet’s cringeworthy nature.
Despite the jest, the brothers shared a lighthearted moment, with Jason defending the sentiment by saying, “We don’t give Jesus enough shout-outs for taking one for the team if we’re all honest.” Travis humorously agreed, adding, “He’s the epitome of taking one for the team. He died for our sins.”
No shortage of reaction
The tweet, which had been deleted after its initial posting, had garnered over 800 reposts and nearly 4,000 likes before its removal. Its resurgence sparked a mix of reactions online, with some finding it humorous and others deeming it disrespectful.
Travis later explained that at the time, he was using Twitter as a personal diary, sharing random thoughts without considering the potential for future scrutiny. He admitted, “I was just using Twitter as a diary. I’m just out here, just saying nonsense.”
This incident adds to the Kelce brothers’ growing media presence. Beyond their podcast, they’ve expanded into various ventures, including clothing lines, TV appearances, and endorsement deals. Jason has transitioned into a media career with ESPN and is slated to host a late-night show, while Travis has collaborated with numerous brands and is set to host a game show on Amazon’s Prime Video.
As the Kelce brothers continue to entertain both on and off the field, this viral moment serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of social media posts and the humorous dynamics of sibling relationships.
