Travis Kelce defended by brother Jason after Taylor Swift’s boyfriend accused of ‘acting like a jacka**’ for downing a beer while getting his diploma at the end of New Heights live on Thursday night

Jason has defended his younger brother Travis from fierce criticism after he downed a beer while getting his University of Cincinnati diploma at the end of New Heights live on Thursday night.

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend was criticized on social media for his antics and Jason hit back at them on Saturday afternoon on X.

A fan tweeted him saying: ‘Please question your brother for the graduation antics?

The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas.’

Both Kelces completed their degrees but did not walk across the stage and receive their diplomas after entering the NFL. While Jason explained that the ceremony was just a gag arranged with the University, X users were still displeased with Travis’ display on the stage.

‘Look at 34-year-old Travis Kelce acting like a 16-year-old teenager who just had his first beer,’ one user wrote. ‘Seriously, is there a bigger D-Bag in all of professional sports than this.’

‘Travis Kelce is NOT a role model for your sons,’ another added. ‘This is loser mentality! Kids, you can be better than this.’
