Of course, Kelce is never afraid to say something into a microphone or camera lens. Hers «You have to fight for your right to party!» as she celebrated the Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory three years ago before winning Super Bowl LIV has become a rallying cry for the rabid fan base in the Midwest.
But Mahomes may have thought Kelce’s famous speeches would not be appropriate for the White House setting, considering he has been known to swear a few swear words on the spur of the moment. Winning Super Bowls and being in championship parades can do that to a person.

The first lady didn’t think she should have called herself a holding, and other Eagles fans are likely to back her there.
