Jason Kelce Recasts Viral World Series Rant as MLB Spending Critique, Not a Dig at Canada

Kelce says the clip misrepresented his point about payroll imbalance.

Overview

  • In a Friday post on X, the retired Eagles center said he "loves Canada" and that he was "bamboozled" by a clipped segment from his New Heights podcast.
  • He said he had been rooting for the Blue Jays despite not being personally invested in the outcome.
  • The short video drew pushback from Canadian fans who viewed his "Canadian baseball team" remark as dismissive.
  • Kelce’s broader argument targeted perceived predictability tied to high payrolls, with the Dodgers leading MLB spending and the Blue Jays ranking among the higher spenders.
  • The conversation followed the Dodgers’ 5–4 win over Toronto in an 11-inning Game 7, and the clip topped one million views on X.
