The Internet was a buzz over the weekend as Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce went viral in another unique way.
The Pro Bowl tight end appeared in a video on social media, where he accepted his diploma from his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati. In the clip, he chugs a beer and immediately spikes it onstage. Cincinnati broadcaster Dan Hoard posted the video to his X account, getting social media talking about the hilarious scenario.

Many thought the video was funny, while some critics didn’t appreciate the moment. Travis’ brother and New Heights Podcast co-host Jason Kelce responded to a fan offended by the video on his X account, setting the record straight once and for all.
I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast that we put on to raise money for the University’s NIL. The university did this to poke fun at my brother and I for never really picking up our diplomas. https://t.co/enl4C0a0bE

The brothers returned to Cincinnati to visit their old stomping grounds and released a live podcast episode. The show was filled with fun activities and stunts for the college crowd.
