Jason Kelce exposed one major flaw at the Winter Olympics, with the former NFL star's hands dwarfing the Ice Hockey venue's only available beer option: A small Corona.
Kelce and his wife, Kylie, are in Milan supporting Team U.S.A., and Cleveland native Laila Edwards in particular. The Kelces are big fans of ice hockey star Edwards, following her journey, and even contributing to a fund to fly the 22-year-old's family to the Winter Olympics.

Their support of Edwards came full circle on Monday as Jason and Kylie Kelce watched Team U.S.A.'s women's team beat Sweden 5-0 in a lopsided semifinal win. However, beer-enjoyer Kelce, who retired from the NFL as a one-time Super Bowl winner with the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2023 season, exposed one major flaw while watching from the stands.

The only beer option at the ice hockey venue is a small Corona, which looked tiny in the ex-NFL center's hands. "They urgently need to start selling larger beers at the Olympic venues. For Jason Kelce's sake," one fan said on social media.
"You just have to buy a lot," another fan joked. Other viewers also noted that Jason and Travis Kelce became majority owners of Garage Beer in 2024. A significant factor behind the Kelce Brothers' investment was Garage Beer's roots.
Garage Beer is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the same State the brothers grew up in and went to University, Cincinnati, before both heading to the NFL, where they forged Hall of Fame-worthy careers. "It's an Ohio brand," Travis said. "And I always like to give back to my roots."

"We are light beer drinkers," Jason said. "The brand fits my lifestyle, and having a few beers is a great excuse to get the neighbors together."
Kelce's support of Edwards
The Kelce family backed Edwards during her Olympic debut, contributing to a GoFundMe launched by her parents to help cover travel costs to Milan.
Travis Kelce — a three-time Super Bowl champion — also personally contacted Edwards, who made history as the first Black woman to play for Team U.S.A. in Olympic hockey.
"He was just saying, everyone's got my back. He's rooting for me," Edwards said. "They didn't have to do that, but they did. And I'm really grateful."

The Canadians will be hoping to avoid a repeat of that matchup, with a gold medal on the line.
