Jason Kelce retracts claim the Welsh are ‘posh, rich, upper class, beautiful white people’ from chat with brother Travis about Wales rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit joining the Chiefs
Jason Kelce has admitted he was wrong to describe the Welsh as ‘posh, rich, upper class, beautiful white people’ on his New Heights podcast with brother Travis.
The brothers were this week discussing the move by Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs to sign the former Wales rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit, who has switched sports and joined the Super Bowl winners.
The NFL stars both praised Rees-Zammit for his bravery in making the move, with the older Kelce brother saying: ‘When I think of Welsh, I think British people call it ‘posh’. I think of these rich, upper class, just beautiful white people. He is the running stereotype of what I would think of with a Welsh person.
I don’t know if that’s an accurate stereotype but that’s certainly what I think of and he’s helping continue that trend in my mind. I’m excited to see what this guy does. I know it’s gonna be a learning curve, but I hope this guy takes the world by f***ing storm. It will be electric.
‘With a smile like that, this guy, if he works out, he’s going to be the most marketable player of all time.’
