Jason Kelce’s Response to NFL Alum Comparing “Tush Push” to Giving Birth Will Take You to New Heights

Jason Kelce would take football over giving birth any day.

The former Philadelphia Eagles lineman—whose wife Kylie Kelce recently gave birth to their fourth daughter Finnley—shared his thoughts on which is more difficult: a certain “grueling” football play or childbirth.

For context, the NFL is currently considering the ban of the popular “tush push,” a play which sees the quarterback pushed by his teammates into the offensive line when minimal yardage is needed for a first down, resulting in a crammed pile of players. So when retired quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick—who shares kids Brady, 18, Tate, 16, Lucy, 14, Maizy, 12, Zoey, 9, Ruby, 8, and Jake, 6, with wife Liza Barber—posed the question to Jason online, he didn’t even need to wait for the snap.

“Oh man, hate to say, but it isn’t even close,” Jason wrote in an April 3 post to X (formerly Twitter). “I’ll take an entire career of tush pushes over giving birth.”

The 37-year-old—who is also dad to Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2, with Kylie—added, “F–k that.”
