Travis Kelce says he CAN’T WAIT to celebrate his Super Bowl victory at the White House — telling TMZ Sports he WILL join his KC Chiefs teammates when they meet President Trump.
“Oh, yeah! Always, man!” Kelce told us in NYC on Wednesday. “Crazy opportunity!”
Kelce went on to defend his decision to visit the White House on Twitter after being criticized from some fans who oppose President Trump
Grew up my whole life watching teams win championships and then go to the White House and get recognized for their greatness… regardless of who is in office I think it’s a unique opportunity to experience our nations Capital. https://t.co/1Oy1q1ORJu

While some praised Kelce, others still seemed angry about his decision to visit the White House.
You can respect the office and the history of the building no matter who resides there currently.

Travis, deeply appreciate you taking a knee in 2017, esp given pathetic lack of white solidarity for Kaepernick & families destroyed by polic violence.
But it’s impossible to reconcile this. It makes it worse. Chris Long chose to skip WH trip. PLEASE reconsider your stance 🙏 pic.twitter.com/ox0fVnn4ia
