The Cleveland Guardians won Game 3 of the 2024 ALCS on Thursday night, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was very hyped for it.
Kelce is a Guardians fan, attending Game 1 of the series against the New York Yankees with Taylor Swift. However, he didn’t wear any of his favorite team’s gear at the game.
For some bizarre reason, that apparently triggered criticism that Kelce wasn’t a real fan of the team. We’re not sure how anybody could come to that conclusion since Kelce grew up in Ohio, but that’s the internet for you.
After celebrating the team’s Game 3 victory, Kelce took to Twitter (X) to defend his status as a Cleveland fan despite the wardrobe choice.
😂😂😂 I’ve been a cleveland sports fan my entire life… Make it back to countless amount of games over the years both Guards and Cavs just to enjoy these memories with my friends and family, WIN OR LOSE!!… and I don’t wear Cleveland gear one time 😂 and all of a sudden I’m not…

Why anyone needs to exert their energy into Kelce’s game day attire is truly beyond us. However, the Guardians sure sound like they’re ready for him to attend Game 4.
We'll see you next time in full uniform though, right?
