Jason Kelce gets in fight over boneless wings on Twitter
Eagles lineman and veritable Big Guy Jason Kelce does not mice words when it comes to wings. The All-Pro center is a bone-in man all the way, and made it clear in no uncertain terms on Twitter last night.
It all started with one user asking Kelce a seemingly benign question on wing preference:
A pretty strong answer from Jason there, but nothing out of the ordinary. Bone-in wings have a loyal following, and it appears he is a die-hard fan.
That said, he did not stop at declaring his preference for bone-in wings. Rather, the Super Bowl champion was provoked by a boneless wing lover, and went as far as to deny the very validity of boneless wings’ existence, which was certainly controversial to a few followers.
As the resident food guy here at The Liberty Line, I see where he is coming from. Boneless wings, on a base level, are technically not wings.
They are often made with breast meat, and are more akin to a chicken nugget or tender than a wing. It is in that sense that Kelce is correct.
HOWEVER, that does not mean there is no room at the table for boneless wings. I personally lean for a classic wing, but there are sometimes I need clean hands to drink my beer and tweet at the same time. I just don’t see why the two cannot live in harmony.
If he were a laymen, I would chastise him for such divisive, exclusionary language. Alas, he’s literally Jason Kelce, a Philadelphia icon, so I have no choice to respect his take and remain relatively quiet.
He’s not just some guy off the street, he’s an elite athlete. Sure, he’s in the NFL, but I more so meant he has competed in Wing Bowl in the past.
So with that, I’ll zip it. Just know, boneless lovers, you are seen, and you are loved.
