Social Media Backlash on Jason's Statements by Kayla Nicole

Backlash ensued over Jason's flippant remarks, especially from Kayla Nicole, Travis's ex-girlfriend, who took to X (formerly Twitter), asking, "Since when can you say 't—' on ESPN?" Some viewers called it a new low in broadcasting standards and attributed this lapse to Jason hiring Pat McAfee on board as an analyst on College GameDay.

The Kelce family has enjoyed the moment and even found some humour in the criticisms that they are receiving. Kylie, Jason's wife, already gave her take on his first day of broadcast with a jokingly saying to him, "Maybe try not to say t— this week?" Humour speaks of their strong family bonding as Jason embarks on this new chapter.
