In recent week, it’s become somewhat of a tradition for opposing fanbases to try and get under the skin of the Eagles faithful by “decorating” the iconic statue of Rocky outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art in a non-Eagles jersey. However, that’s a ritual that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce doesn’t want to see continue ahead of Super Bowl LVII.
Speaking with his brother Jason—the Eagles’ standout center—on their New Heights podcast this week, the Kansas City star said that he doesn’t want any Chiefs fans to touch the Philadelphia landmark before next week’s championship game. His primary reason for telling fans to exercise caution is that going after the statue hasn’t done anything except further embolden the passionate Philly fanbase ahead of their beloved team’s playoff games.
“Right now… Chiefs fans. Do not touch the f—--- Rocky memorial,” Kelce said in a clear message on the podcast. “Do not do that. Definitely don’t put an 87 on there.”
