    Should we joke about when he attacked an old man because Kelce himself screwed up a play. Very normal behavior of a well adjusted definitely not man child.

      ‘Attacked’ is disingenuous. He got confrontational and right up in the coach’s face and personal space while shouting. But no hands were thrown, and afaik the coach did not get pushed back or have to catch his footing.

      Travis was completely unjustified and hugely overreacted about sports, but you should be honest.

      Assuming that’s real, yes, yes we should. Or The Onion writers should.

        I know nothing of the man. Literally zero other than the fact that he plays football and dates Taylor Swift. I just don’t find jokes about disabilities, including traumatic brain injuries, funny.

          Jokes can be about anything, you’re free to be a stick in the mud I guess. But you don’t get to shame others for not being that

            I am not a fan of jokes that target people’s ethnicity, sexual preference, or disability, and that definitely includes traumatic injury. If that makes me a buzzkill, then so be it.

              Jokes about these things can be done well. The true test is are these things the butt of the joke or not.

              The joke here isn’t, “haha, CTE funny”. The joke is a bit more nuanced than that.
