Announcement,with departure of Jason Kelce ,finally lost his career in after facing…..
Can NFL players refuse to be mic’d up? What if they want to keep mum about the on-field happenings during or after a game? How much control do they have over this aspect of the game? It seems NFL players across teams are wary of being mic’d up. In their latest episode of New Heights podcast, Jason and Travis Kelce had a light-hearted discussion about this lesser-known aspect of the game and the recent incidents that have brought this subject into limelight.
The brothers answered in the affirmative to the above questions and said that they have refused several times in the past to be part of the Mic’d Up program. So, then the question arises – What is there to be “terrified” about it? Hint: It has something to do with responsibility
In the latest episode of New Heights, the podcast hosted by the NFL brothers, Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason revealed that he did not like being mic’d up but had to do it for the last Super Bowl because they were making a documentary, and he wanted memories from the games. But in general, he said, “I do not like being mic’d up. I don’t. I feel like um, I don’t want to try and be any different and I won’t be any different. ” It is at this point that Travis Kelce interrupts his brother and laughingly says, “You’re terrified of that footage that could come out…” . Thankfully, Jason has a good relationship with the team’s PR staff, and that lets him view the footage before it gets released to the general public.
But why does he dislike it so much? Travis Kelce answered that by saying, “Being mic’d up is quite a responsibility.” According to Jason Kelce all teams try to show the good parts that happen in a game when someone is mic’d up but many things can get on the sidelines due to the heat of the moment hence whoever wears the mic needs to be responsible.
