Jason Kelce goes after MLB and the internet doesn’t hold back

It’s clear that Jason Kelce doesn’t need pads or a helmet to make an impact. This time, the former Philadelphia Eagles center stirred controversy from behind the mic of his popular podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce. The spark? A blunt statement that didn’t go unnoticed: “Baseball sucks.”

The comment came right after the 2025 World Series, where the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in a dramatic Game 7. For Jason Kelce, the result wasn’t worth celebrating. “Am I supposed to get excited about a Canadian team and another that spends more than everyone else?” he said sarcastically. According to figures cited by Firstsportz, the Dodgers’ payroll surpassed $350 million this season—the highest in all of MLB.

Kelce didn’t hold back

Jason Kelce went further, criticizing baseball’s financial structure and suggesting that championships are bought, not earned. “It’s the dumbest thing in the world,” he added. What started as a personal opinion quickly turned into a trending topic. Social media lit up: some fans accused him of being “salty” over the Phillies’ elimination. Others reminded him that the NFL has its own dynasties, like the Patriots or the current Chiefs led by his brother.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) didn’t miss the chance to mock Jason Kelce. “Did you play for free in Philly?” one asked. “And the Chiefs in five Super Bowls in six years isn’t a monopoly?” another added. Many defended the thrill of a World Series that went into extra innings and ended with a Will Smith walk-off homer in Toronto, after the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the NLCS.

Travis tried to play peacemaker

While Jason Kelce fired shots at the diamond, Travis Kelce took a more diplomatic stance. In the same episode, the Chiefs tight end praised the World Series for its intensity and highlighted the quality of both teams. “It was an epic seven-game battle,” said Travis, who’s been spotted at MLB games in the past.

It’s worth noting that the Phillies—Jason Kelce’s favorite team—were eliminated by the Dodgers in the NLDS after a throwing error in the 11th inning sealed their fate. That detail didn’t go unnoticed by fans analyzing the tone of his rant.

Sounds like someone’s salty his guy sailed a throw 80 feet over the catcher when he could’ve just gotten the force at first

In the end, Jason Kelce proved once again that he doesn’t hold back. This time, his tackle landed squarely on baseball’s chest. And while his opinion split the audience, he made it clear that retired or not, he’s not afraid to speak his mind—even when it stirs controversy.
