the NFL community was shocked by the news that Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was facing the risk of being banned from the entire 2025 season. The reason is said to be because Kelce publicly supported the act of kneeling during the flag salute – a controversial act in the top American football league.
Travis Kelce, one of the best tight ends in NFL history, did not hesitate to express his opinion in an interview in mid-May 2025. He stated: “Kneeling is a way for players to speak up for justice and equality. I fully support that and will not be silent.” This statement immediately caused a stir, forcing the NFL to intervene. According to sources, the league sent a warning letter to Kelce, asking him to retract his statement and pledge not to repeat it. However, with his strong nature, Kelce is said to have refused, leading to the risk of being banned from playing for the entire 2025 season.
Losing Kelce would be a big loss for the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that is aiming to successfully defend its title after an impressive 2024 season. With his explosive playing ability and outstanding influence, Kelce is not only a pillar on the field but also a source of inspiration for his teammates. Chiefs fans in Vietnam are very worried, and at the same time expressed their dissatisfaction on sports forums. Many opinions say that the NFL is reacting too harshly, while others support Kelce for daring to stand up for his beliefs.
Currently, the Kansas City Chiefs leadership has not made an official announcement about Kelce’s situation. Fans are waiting for the next developments to see if the 35-year-old star can continue playing in the 2025 season. Whatever the outcome, this event will certainly continue to be a hot topic, attracting the attention of rugby lovers around the world in the coming time!
