Kelce&#8217;s booing seems tied to him being referred to as &#8220;Taylor Swift\u2018s boyfriend&#8221; on social media \u200dand his involvement with Pfizer, endorsing the COVID-19 vaccine. The contrast extended to Mahomes, a proud Mavericks fan, who\u2064 was celebrated. Kelce&#8217;s experiences with the Pfizer endorsement and dating \u200bpop star Swift have seemingly impacted his public image.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>    <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/schang\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/schang\/%20\"><span>Samantha Chang<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   May 27, 2024 at 5:22am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce got booed by Dallas Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center during Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference finals on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, his teammate, quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-patrick-mahomes-andy-reid-defend-harrison-butker-backlash-speech-great-person\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, was showered with cheers and applause when he was shown on screen.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the reigning Super Bowl champs were sitting next to each other courtside.<\/p>\n<p>In a video excerpt posted on the social media platform X, Kelce sarcastically feigned shock on the jumbotron when the boos rained down on him.<\/p>\n<p>The camera then shifted to Mahomes, who got a very different reaction.
