Former Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> star Jason Kelce took issue with players potentially facing fines for criticizing officiating after games and pointed to New York Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux\u2019s remarks from Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Thibodeaux was upset with officials blowing a play dead as he took away the football from Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts<\/a> during a tush push. Thibodeaux was getting revved up when he called the blown whistle “bulls—,” but his teammate Brian Burns reminded him that he faced a fine for his remarks.<\/p>\n

The young Giants defender quickly changed his tone.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t agree with that. Listen, you know me, I do not like complaining about officials. I never have. That\u2019s not how I operate. I don\u2019t think you should be fined. I think that\u2019s bulls—, personally,” Jason Kelce said in the latest episode of “New Heights.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Travis Kelce<\/a> questioned, “I can\u2019t give my opinion on what I thought about the call?”<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce maintained that he isn\u2019t the one who would question officiating but couldn\u2019t fault others for doing it.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, what the f— is this? It\u2019s the freedom of speech<\/a>, baby! What the f— are we doing right here? \u2026 I don\u2019t think you should be able to be fined for that. I think that\u2019s nonsense. And I am all for having the officials\u2019 back usually,” he added. “But listen, it was a bad call. What do you want me to say?”<\/p>\n

The two also touched on the call that Thibodeaux was upset about.<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce suggested that officials being unable to properly make calls could end up being the reason why the league bans the tush push<\/a>.<\/p>\n
