Jason Kelce Clears the Air on Blue Jays World Series Comments
So, here’s a fun one making the rounds—Jason Kelce, yes, that Jason Kelce, former NFL star and now popular podcaster, recently had to walk back some comments he made about the Toronto Blue Jays’ World Series run. The whole thing started with an episode of his podcast New Heights , which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce—who you might know as Taylor Swift’s fiancé.

During the episode, Jason seemed pretty unimpressed with the 2025 World Series matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He bluntly said, “So you’re telling me I’m supposed to get excited about a Canadian baseball team and a team that just spends more money than anybody else? Who cares about either?” It was one of those moments where you could almost hear sports fans gasp across North America—especially in Canada.
But here’s where things took a turn. After his comments started getting traction online, Jason jumped onto X (formerly Twitter) to clear things up. He said his social media team had “failed to show the whole story.” Then, in classic Jason Kelce humor, he added, “How could I not love poutine, maple syrup, and beavers!! I was actually rooting for the Blue Jays in a World Series that I didn’t care about. Seriously, Canada is the best.”
It was the perfect mix of self-awareness and charm, and it helped smooth over what could’ve easily turned into a minor PR mess. His post reminded fans that he’s got a fun, down-to-earth sense of humor—something that’s made him so beloved even after stepping away from the NFL.
Interestingly, Jason’s brother Travis had a very different take on the same World Series. He called it “an awesome seven games of baseball,” and, well, he wasn’t wrong. The final game alone drew massive numbers—over 51 million viewers across Canada, the U.S., and Japan. In Canada, more than 10.9 million people tuned in to watch the Jays fall just short, making it one of the most-watched English-language broadcasts in Canadian history, second only to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
So, in the end, Jason’s comments weren’t so much anti-Canada as they were a mix of sarcasm and misunderstood tone. Once he clarified his stance, it was all laughs. And really, who can stay mad at a guy who says he loves maple syrup and beavers?
It’s another reminder of how fast things can spiral online—and how equally fast they can be patched up with a little humor and honesty.
