On the Wednesday, May 20 episode of Travis and his brother Jason Kelce<\/a>\u2019s New Heights podcast, the brothers discussed how some Eagles fans are upset that the Eagles are playing on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because you can, doesn\u2019t mean you should<\/a>. It is OBNOXIOUS that the @NFL scheduled the @Eagles on Christmas Eve at 8:15 pm. Literally, is nothing sacred? They already have nearly every dollar on the planet and continue to worship at the altar of greed,\u201d one fan wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Another fan wrote that while fans aren\u2019t obligated to watch the game, it will mostly still be turned on and distract NFL fans during the holiday.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to say \u2018just don\u2019t watch it\u2019 and I agree with you, the last thing I want to do on Christmas Eve is watch a football game. I would much rather listen to Christmas music and sip eggnogs with family and friends. Maybe exchange some gifts and have some good conversation,\u201d the fan wrote. \u201cBut you know as well as I that at any gathering, some blockhead is going to want the game on in the living room. Before you know it, most of the men are going to gravitate there and most of the women are going to be left alone in the kitchen or dining room. Now Christmas Eve has turned into just another football night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christmas Eve game, everybody is upset about it in Philly,\u201d Jason, who played for the Eagles for 13 season career in the league.<\/p>\n

Travis scoffed before he responded to his older brother, asking, \u201cWhy are they upset about a Christmas Eve game?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it\u2019s Christmas Eve!\u201d said Jason agreeing with his fellow Eagles fans. \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to be with family. People don\u2019t want to spend time thinking about the football on Christmas Eve. I get it, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why I\u2019m hard-pressed to believe that that\u2019s not the majority,\u201d Travis said. \u201cI feel like Birds fans and Philadelphians are going to get excited for a game like that. Maybe I\u2019m catching that wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason, who shares four daughters with his wife, Kylie Kelce, shared that the timing of the game also goes into play as to why some fans are annoyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Christmas Eve for some reason, at night, feels like that is primetime when you\u2019re with the family, you\u2019re getting everything ready, the presents are getting ready to be put under the tree by Santa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> tight end refuted his brother\u2019s idea suggesting that Eagles fans could turn it into a \u201cbonding\u201d experience by watching their favorite team.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re at the house watching the game!\u201d he replied. \u201cYou\u2019re going to be at home getting ready for Christmas the next day watching the Birds play football. I feel like that\u2019s a bonding, family experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason on the other hand suggested that it could just be that NFL fans are just \u201cgetting frustrated with the league in general\u201d noting that NFL fans usually several subscriptions to keep up with the games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s more streaming platforms that are costing fans money to watch the games,\u201d Jason said. \u201cIt\u2019s harder to watch every game of your team than it\u2019s been in a long time, or ever. There\u2019s more international games.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Christmas Eve, the Eagles will face the Houston Texans<\/a> at 8:15 p.m. ET at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
