Jason Kelce retracts claim the Welsh are ‘posh, rich, upper class, beautiful white people’ from chat with brother Travis about Wales rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit joining the Chiefs

The NFL stars both praised Rees-Zammit for his bravery in making the move, with the older Kelce brother saying: ‘When I think of Welsh, I think British people call it ‘posh’. I think of these rich, upper class, just beautiful white people.

He is the running stereotype of what I would think of with a Welsh person. ‘I don’t know if that’s an accurate stereotype but that’s certainly what I think of and he’s helping continue that trend in my mind. I’m excited to see what this guy does. I know it’s gonna be a learning curve, but I hope this guy takes the world by f***ing storm. It will be electric.

‘With a smile like that, this guy, if he works out, he’s going to be the most marketable player of all time.’
