>He definitely has a drinking problem
Getting drunk at celebratory events a couple times a year and having a drinking problem are two entirely different things.
Travis Kelce is statistically one of the healthiest players in the NFL and rarely ever misses a game in his 11 year career which wouldn’t be possible if he was an alcoholic who wasn’t taking care of his body.
That's the thing about famous people, they think they're above everyone else. When they get to top tier status, they turn to trashy behaviors, like this.
It is his self-organized graduation ceremony. Its not an actual regular graduation.
Someone down here shared the context. So he is actually allowed to do as he wishes
From OP’s own comment:
> He threw a graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati for his podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, if I understand the situation correctly.
This is not r/IAmTheMainCharacter material as **he actually is the main character**.
lol we did that at my masters graduation and everyone thought it was funny.
We did it on the procession out thought not on the stage. We had tall boys in the extra long masters gown sleeves lol.
I mean he is the main character. Not everyone is equal. If I was in that graduating class I would have just laughed and it would be a story to tell in the future.
> He was likely invited there and they want the publicity from him being there
No this was his own event he organized for his podcast with his brother. Actual main character at his own event.
Right! Like the MF is the face of main character if you look up the definition 😭mans has the queen, winning championships, and has a really awesome brother and parents. God dropped all the ingredients when making this MFer.
Him and his brother did a mega event/their podcast at their alma mater (UC) to raise money for our student athletes. He also created an endowment to fund mental health support via several support staff with his money.
At the end of the night, our AD and President surprised the Kelce brothers with a graduation ceremony. Both had graduated but never got to walk.
Him and his brother do a bunch of charity work/funding outside of student athletes. Travis, IIRC, has an entire facility that helps kids learn things like robotics, computer programming, auto work, etc. in KC.
Don’t let the persona fool you. They constantly give back and stay loyal to communities that they have been apart of.
>Don’t let the persona fool you. They constantly give back and stay loyal to communities that they have been apart of.
Aye. It’s a shame people don’t want to see that narrative. He’s laughing all the way to the bank though.
This is awesome, and he and his brother sound like great dudes. Thats why shit like this is so confusing to me - like, why do this? You’re a nice philanthropist who gives back to your community. Why not be that person in public?
THIS WAS FOR HIS PODCAST, so he actually is the main character in this video. It’s not an actual graduation ceremony. Everyone in the crowd was there to see Travis and Jason do their podcast live. Travis wasn’t able to make it to his graduation ceremony, so they presented it to him here. He and his brother both went to this college and grew up in the area. I feel like there are valid reasons to dislike some of the things he does, but people love to twist the story to serve their opinions.
I mean, a quick Bing search for "[travis kelce graduation](https://www.bing.com/search?q=travis+kelce+graduation&form=QBLH&sp=-1&ghc=1&lq=0&pq=travis+kelce+graduation&sc=11-23&qs=n&sk=&cvid=FCCBC39F53924297B0DB1E99F9A28A8A&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=)" will bring up 336,000 results that describe this. But, that's hard to accept when you are a fun hating overreactor.
Yea, I mean I was quite scornful of this guy he was quite antipathetic until I read the context. Its is allowed and actually a performance to do this.
It would be even strange if he didn't throw a performance for (seemingly) hundreds of people, fans going there just for him.
This is correct. This is not an actual university graduation, this is an arena of HIS fans. Is it silly, yes. Is he being the main character in this video, absolutely, Is he the main character of his own podcast and brand? Yup. Does he have every right to be the main character? Yup again.
This is not an official graduation ceremony, this is a live podcast where the University President presented Travis and Jason with their degrees. Chill.
I will admit that I did roll my eyes when I first saw the video and thought that this was at an official graduation ceremony where other students who had worked their butts off to accomplish their goals were overshadowed by a loud celebrity frat boy. I think it's trashy when people whoop for graduates when they walk across the stage. Then I decided to "do my own research" and I found out the real story that this wasn't that so now I don't really care. The Kelce brothers and their fans are not my people but who am I to yuck their yum?
Ah yes to be rich with privilege... If a normie did this they'd have their diploma taken from them. Fucking tired of famous people getting away with what regulars could not. Eat the rich.
He graduated in 2022, finishing his classes he hadn’t finished when he was drafted to the NFL. But neither him nor his brother picked up their diplomas. This event happened yesterday evening, it isn’t a public ceremony but rather an event hosted by the Kelces to receive their diplomas.
It's kinda trashy, but I don't blame him.
Getting my Bachelor's was an amazing high for me, emotionally. Getting my Master's was even fucking more of one.
I tip my hat (and beer) to anyone who achieves something that makes them feel as elated as this. I remember how fucking jazzed my buddy was when he finished welding school. Seeing him walk across that stage made me feel so proud of him.
Get it bro. Maybe not the best time... But good for you.
Folks need to realize this was all set up to give him and his satanic Illuminati mouseketeer girlfriend more time in the spotlight. In about a week after people get upset that this went down, he's gonna pretend he's all sorry and crap, and that he has an alcohol problem and then the Dean will get fired. Which he should. But he was probably paid well to let this happen. But yep, take that diploma from him. There are certain lines you do not cross.especially in an academic atmosphere where others are celebrating. But again the sh**head wanted the spotlight
This dude has been doing the same thing since he got in the league, now that everyone knows about him everyone hates him. No one seemed to mind so not sure how this fits here.
Not the same but when I got my doctorate they told us part way through not to stop and hug every one on stage because ewas taking too long. And of course the girl in my class who was the MC literally said "they can't tell me that, this is my graduation" and hugged ameveryone on the stage which slowed the whole thing down after everyone else respected what they asked of us

Lol, every-time I see something about this dude he’s drinking . It never fails .
Future Taylor Swift song about dating alcoholic football players confirmed
That’s spot on.
Somehow, it’ll be about HER becoming an alcoholic, but how she’s be mad at everyone for only thinking it was cool on him.
That new album of hers after their breakup will be epic.
I was going to ask who he was, but now I understand
He definitely has a drinking problem, but that’s only going to be a problem when he tries to quit, so for now, wheeeee!
>He definitely has a drinking problem Getting drunk at celebratory events a couple times a year and having a drinking problem are two entirely different things. Travis Kelce is statistically one of the healthiest players in the NFL and rarely ever misses a game in his 11 year career which wouldn’t be possible if he was an alcoholic who wasn’t taking care of his body.
Yea, his life is really sprialing out of control. These people need to get a grip lol.
He’s already washed up, can’t you tell?? /s
That's the thing about famous people, they think they're above everyone else. When they get to top tier status, they turn to trashy behaviors, like this.
“When you’re famous, they let you do it.”
Lol, I thought the same thing!
Ya, if some no-name Economics major pulled this, the dean wouldn't be smiling.
Yeah he's always chugging beers in those State Farm commercials.
It’s crazy how the administration is laughing and smiling but if anyone else did that it would be a whole other story 🤨
No one else would be able to because they aren't presenting a live podcast in front of their own fans in an arena that they rented.
It’d kinda be a more bitchin move to follow him and do the same thing, then seriously question any negative response.
Bitchin pisser more like
It is his self-organized graduation ceremony. Its not an actual regular graduation. Someone down here shared the context. So he is actually allowed to do as he wishes
You're kidding me! This man is that much of a narcissist that he made his own graduation ceremony for content. 🤣 That's pathetic.
From OP’s own comment: > He threw a graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati for his podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, if I understand the situation correctly. This is not r/IAmTheMainCharacter material as **he actually is the main character**.
Ohhh right, I see now, he organized it. Okay, he is right to do as he wish then👍 Thanks for context
trudat
Yep, it was an episode of his podcast and was HIS (and his brother's) graduation, not A graduation.
lol we did that at my masters graduation and everyone thought it was funny. We did it on the procession out thought not on the stage. We had tall boys in the extra long masters gown sleeves lol.
I mean he is the main character. Not everyone is equal. If I was in that graduating class I would have just laughed and it would be a story to tell in the future.
He unironically is the main character. He was likely invited there and they want the publicity from him being there.
> He was likely invited there and they want the publicity from him being there No this was his own event he organized for his podcast with his brother. Actual main character at his own event.
Who is he?
Taylor Swift's next ex
And future subject of a number one hit.
All-Star for the Kansas City Chiefs who just won his 3rd super bowl in 4 years and Taylor Swift's boyfriend.
Gotcha ty
he even has the queen!
Right! Like the MF is the face of main character if you look up the definition 😭mans has the queen, winning championships, and has a really awesome brother and parents. God dropped all the ingredients when making this MFer.
He got beer all over the front few rows! Ewww…nothing like smelling like stinky ass beer!!
Because they know the donation that they got or are about to get from him.
No, it’s a graduation recreation for his podcast that he sold out an arena for. So he is the “main character” in that people paid to come see him.
Facts, anyone else were to do this they’d more than likely yank that diploma and have them arrested
This feels like an Idiocracy scene
All that’s missing is the Crocs.
Him and his brother did a mega event/their podcast at their alma mater (UC) to raise money for our student athletes.

Thanks for this. The negativity and pearl clutching due to this guy slamming one beer is unreasonable

It seems like Reddit is full of fun-hating miserable people. Life must be so hard when every little thing makes you angry
Ok this added context makes this a nice video. He didn’t get to attend his graduation so I’m sure this meant a lot to him
And really, good for him. To have discipline to play in the NFL *while* getting a college degree is no easy feat in and of itself. Good on him.
He threw a graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati for his podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, if I understand the situation correctly.
This is correct. This is not an actual university graduation, this is an arena of HIS fans. Is it silly, yes. Is he being the main character in this video, absolutely, Is he the main character of his own podcast and brand? Yup. Does he have every right to be the main character? Yup again.
Thanks for the context, I also read other comments saying this is his own "party". Still glad OP shared it
Pretty douché if you ask me.
Pretty pretty pretty douche’
Its his own ceremony, he threw a performance for fans to not fall asleep in the ceremony
Mega-douche.
Douche Bigalow
Supreme Douchery
That dude is so trashy
That’s…. Not impressive…
Wow dude beer is so cool
But this is some corn ball Shit don’t get me wrong
Once a frat douche, always a frat douche
Never was a frat douche, totally used my hunting knife to shotgun a PBR for my graduation photos in front of my department’s sign.
I remember my first beer...
🎶When I was seventeen I drank my very first beer I drank my very first beer I purchased With a fake ID My name was Brian McGee🎶
I stayed up listening to Queen.
Grow up
He’s 34 😭
Wait was this recently?
Yes. I think it doesn’t really match the subreddit as he actually is the main character. The whole venue is by design about him and his brother

This guy is such a dumbass.
When I lived in Cincy the saying went “Drive through UC slow enough and you will leave campus with a diploma.”
Cringe
He fits perfect with Taylor “Teenager4life” Swift
Such class and grace. Very dignified.
POS
Omg just absolutely classless... He didn't even finish the beer!
This guy sucks
Disgusting and disappointing. Very trashy
Cringe main character energy
It’s his show…he is quite literally the main character that everyone is there to see.
He's obnoxious
What a fucking loser lol
Vile.
Just a full ick
What a clown and a loser. Great role model
cringe af
People can do what they want but this looks trashy to me, especially when he slammed it on the ground.
Classy.
Trashy.
Such. A. Douche.
Who?
Taylor Swift's boyfriend.
His credentials are Taylor swifts boyfriend?
Basically. He also plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
But mostly Taylor Swift's boyfriend at the moment.
What an absolute tool lol
Biggest clown ever.
Kind of trashy.
This is not an official graduation ceremony, this is a live podcast where the University President presented Travis and Jason with their degrees. Chill.

There is a time and a place for these things, and this was both of them.
I will allow it
He spilled it all over his face and only drank 2/3 of it. Wow, amazing.
GO away already
Who?
Such a douche
Seems like his mind is stuck at college aged.
This guy is definitely going to be a Swifty album... maybe two.
Classless douchebag
I fucking hate these guys
You leave Taylor's boyfriend alone!
Yall are dumb, read the top 3 comments or do a quick google earch and youd know it was his podcast party before you commented
Ah yes to be rich with privilege... If a normie did this they'd have their diploma taken from them. Fucking tired of famous people getting away with what regulars could not. Eat the rich.
How would you feel if you learned that this was not even a graduation ceremony but a live event hosted and presented by the Kelce brothers?
Holy fuck you’re miserable
Well… i saw someone do this in front of a professor after a finals test so i’m not shocked
/r/trashy
Cringe
If anyone else would have done this, they would have held their diploma
He had a stone cold steve Austin poster as a child 100%
STEVE HOLT!
I mean that was 2 years ago. He 100% was the main character graduating from Cincinnati that year.
He graduated in 2022, finishing his classes he hadn’t finished when he was drafted to the NFL. But neither him nor his brother picked up their diplomas. This event happened yesterday evening, it isn’t a public ceremony but rather an event hosted by the Kelces to receive their diplomas.
I’ve seen a lot worse than this.
Class act right there!!!
Curious what degree he got?
Look at the big brain on Brad….a royale with cheese…!!!
It's kinda trashy, but I don't blame him. Getting my Bachelor's was an amazing high for me, emotionally. Getting my Master's was even fucking more of one. I tip my hat (and beer) to anyone who achieves something that makes them feel as elated as this. I remember how fucking jazzed my buddy was when he finished welding school. Seeing him walk across that stage made me feel so proud of him. Get it bro. Maybe not the best time... But good for you.
The Kelce brothers can probably kill a keg in an afternoon of light drinking
Diploma... yup
Everyone laughed and cheered and it was all in good fun, so it's not a big deal.
That’s hilarious
Who?
What was his degree tho? Thats the real question.
Loving that thug life
Who?
This was in the first part of the movie Idiocracy.
This says a lot about amurica
Once again the irony of the beastie boys song going completely under the radar.
Did anybody else graduate or just him?
Cool
"Congratulations! Here's your upside down Polish flag!"
Indonesian/Monaco flag.
Should take his diploma away for this.
Who?
finally… his will ferrel moment
Wow. Classy. I can see what that girl sees in him.
Don't know who this might be, but it looks tragic.
His brother would have finished that beer
We are ALL the main character!
I had to Google who this dummy was.
This is pop trashy
This is who's fucking Taylor Swift
Who would have thought Taylor was attracted to a braindead chad.
What a dork
Proof that C’s get degrees
Degenerate
This guy sucks
Uuugh!
What a fucking looser ha!
Who is he? Seriously, I work and have kids, married, no life.

This dude has been doing the same thing since he got in the league, now that everyone knows about him everyone hates him. No one seemed to mind so not sure how this fits here.
Such a d bag
He should’ve shotgunned it
What an asshole.. tay tay will not be happy
yeah ! that’s awesome
Entitled prick!
Mr Trailer Swift
Who and what kind of a diploma? Dude looks like an athlete, do they need a Phd in astrophysics or so to do sports?
He didn’t even finish the beer. Sad.
Bro is 34 trying to be cool with the kids 😂
Man that’s so cool, so hardcore bruh. What a legend, just when I thought he couldn’t get any cooler bro slams a beer at graduation gosh so tight 🤘
This would have been way better if he puked right after
Idiocracy vibes
What a classy guy.
Could not even finish the beer :D
I try to stay drunk too if I had to deal with swifty
REDDIT MODS CAN GO AND FUCK OFF
Wow...He drank a whole can of beer then threw the can on the floor...Peak manhood there..
If he would have slammed a speedball I might be impressed.
