Chiefs star Travis Kelce tried to start fight in Nashville bar after criticism of his running style, claims podcaster
A PODCASTER has claimed that Travis Kelce attempted to fight him in a Nashville bar.
Barstool Sports personality Billy Football spoke about the incident with Travis Kelce on an episode of AUDIOCRAIC this week.
The podcaster criticized Kelce back in 2023, and later shared those criticisms with him face-to-face.
Billy Football is now claiming that Kelce confronted him in a Nashville bar after the criticism.
"He was in the bar and he was like 'yo, dude, I can't believe you think I'm a f***ing p***y, f*** you'," he said.
"I'm just standing right next to him, it's one of those keyboard warrior moments like 'yep.
"If he had tried to clock me, I already had this thought - I wouldn't have tried to sue."
Billy Football criticized Kelce in June of 2023 about his physicality while running routes.
"I have been a bit of a critic, I'll put that out there," Billy said.
"Huge fan of your route running, still truth, I just think you could be a little more... you could end a couple of those and run someone over.
"Be a little more physical. Crafty, I think you could run someone over.
"I think it's because you can, but you don't."
Kelce responded well to the criticism at the time, offering a civil response to it.
"I hear you. I mean, what you're saying isn't wrong - there are times I turn on the film and I think 'that was soft.' I am my own worse critic," he said.
"But there are times when I stick my f***ing face in the fan. You can't say it is every time."
After claiming that Kelce tried to fight him, Billy Football reaffirmed his criticisms of Kelce on the podcast this week.
"He's not trying to run guys over," he said.
"He kind of avoids contact which is why his career has spanned so well.
"You know, rock brain. You're playing like a p***y or you're making way more money and you're like a global superstar.
"There's positives and negatives, and now you have Taylor Swift. Shoutout Travis Kelce."
There is no confirmation if Kelce ever actually tried to fight Billy Football, as no one else has shared the story before.
