‘Nobody’s Really Getting Hit For It Anymore’: Travis Kelce Was Smoking Out In His Ride and The Internet Is in An Uproar, But the NFL Could Care Less

Paparazzi snapped photos of Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce lighting up in his vintage 1970 Chevelle convertible last Friday and the internet is in an uproar. Nobody knows what he was smoking, but ultimately who cares. When are we going to stop this type of handwringing and desperation for content?

Kelce has become the most popular player in the NFL over the past several weeks as he has begun a relationship with international pop superstar Taylor Swift. Every move Kelce makes is now dissected and scrutinized through the lens of being Swift’s boyfriend.

Some are speculating that Kelce was smoking weed. But nobody knows for sure. But even if it was weed, so what? Marijuana is legal in Missouri and Kelce is an adult over the age of 21.

Lots Of Players Use Marijuana

Kelce has made comments about marijuana before, so this picture has grabbed people’s attention. In an interview with Vanity Fair in June, he estimated about “50-80%” of players in the NFL use marijuana.

“If you just stop in the middle of July, you’re fine,” he told Vanity Fair. “A lot of guys stop a week before and they still pass because everybody’s working out in the heat and sweating their tail off. Nobody’s really getting hit for it anymore.”

In college at Cincinnati Kelce was suspended for a year in 2010 for testing positive for marijuana. So he does have a history. But again, marijuana is not an illicit drug in 2023.

Given the violent nature of football, Kelce is probably right in the number of players that smoke weed. It has medicinal benefits when it comes to pain management. Also, many players likely suffer from undiagnosed social anxiety, and marijuana helps deal with that condition.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
