Disgusting Behavior: Travis Kelce and Chiefs teammates wearing ‘Free Rashee Rice’ t-shirts

Before their Week 2 matchup with the Eagles, Travis Kelce and other Kansas City Chiefs players thought it’d be a good idea to warm up in t-shirts calling for the “freeing” of wide receiver Rashee Rice.

Rashee Rice is currently serving a six-game suspension for his role in a 119-mph, six-car highway crash that injured seven people.

For the uninitiated, Rice is a guy who pled guilty to two felony charges, collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury, because he was out joyriding like it was Fast & Furious through the streets of Kansas City.

He left the scene with his buddies while people were lying there hurt. The only reason this isn’t a homicide case is because no one died.

So yeah… this isn’t Josh Gordon getting booted for smoking weed or Colin Kaepernick being blackballed for whatever he thought he was doing by kneeling for the National Anthem. But sure, let’s have Chiefs players rock “Free 4” t-shirts like a bunch of clowns.

Travis Kelce. Tyquan Thornton. Grown men, veterans, millionaires—deciding this was the hill to die on. Wearing Rice’s mug on their chest before a nationally televised game like it’s some noble cause.

Obviously, it’s not noble. It’s Disgusting Behavior that should be condemned.

The reaction to Travis Kelce and his teammates’ dumbass t-shirts said it all.

“Free 4? The man caused a multi-car crash due to his reckless driving. He’s just lucky he didn’t kill anyone.”

Bingo.

How about Travis Kelce and all of the Chiefs players pitch in to pay the remaining $1M he owes to one of the victims that Rashee Rice left at the scene?

Did Travis Kelce or Tyquan Thornton go visit the victims of Rashee Rice at the hospital while they laid in beds critically injured? I couldn’t find anything in my 5 minutes of research so I’m going to have to go with no.

Someone tell Travis Kelce that this isn’t about “brotherhood.” This isn’t about loyalty. This is about accountability. Rashee Rice didn’t get railroaded by the NFL. He’s not serving some unjust suspension. He’s serving punishment for reckless behavior that could’ve easily killed people.

Travis Kelce, one of the most visible athletes on the planet, cosigned it with a “Free 4” shirt. He doesn’t look like a leader. He looks like a clown.

The Chiefs already lost to the Eagles, but the bigger L came before kickoff. Supporting a teammate is one thing. Trying to downplay felony behavior with a slogan on a t-shirt is another.
