Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce is in a number of television commercials this NFL season, and one of them is with pharmaceutical company Pfizer, which produces a COVID-19 vaccine along with a number of other vaccines. And UFC President and CEO Dana White is not a fan of the promotion.
During a recent appearance on the Full Send Podcast, Dana White blasted Travis Kelce for promoting the vaccine, calling it “garbage.”
“I don’t know him. I don’t know anything about him, other than he’s a good football player,” White said on the podcast according to the Daily Mail. “He’s getting a lot of attention right now. I don’t know why – unless he’s a believer – why would you promote that garbage? I don’t know why you would do it.”
White went on to claim that it’s “obvious” that people “don’t need” the COVID-19 vaccine.
“It’s pretty [freaking] obvious we don’t need it, but like I say, to each his own man. It’s like people that are still wearing masks. You’re basically just telling everybody ‘Hey, I’m nuts. Check me out, I’m [freaking] crazy’.”
This is not the first time that Kelce has been criticized for his deal with Pfizer, but it’s clear that he’s not bothered by that sort of criticism.
