“If You Wanna Look At It, Go For It… It’s Not Going To Impress You”– Jason Kelce On Having His D**k Out In Front Of Locker Room Reporters

Jason Kelce is freshly retired from football, but even if he were still playing, he couldn't care less about letting his private parts get some air in the locker room. Privacy in the locker room has become a hot-button issue after the NFLPA released a statement demanding that media members not have interviews where the players are getting changed, or disrobing, or what have you. Players like retired wide receiver Torrey Smith and current San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk are among the visible big names who've sounded off on social media about the situation. Smith in particular used some rather colorful language to describe the uncomfortable dynamic he experienced with certain anonymous male reporters. https://twitter.com/TorreySmithWR/status/1842275235791241706?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1842275235791241706%7Ctwgr%5Edf787c907343715f2eef24f977449d2bff3bbc5b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F10%2F04%2Fstraight-meat-watchers-former-nfl-wr-torrey-smith-calls-out-awkward-male-reporters-amid-players-demand-for-locker-room-privacy%2F So then in the latest episode of the Kelce brothers' smash-hit New Heights podcast, Jason zeroed in on Smith's tweet/X post in particular since it made him chuckle. But nothing could've prepared me or you or anyone for the follow-up exchange Jason and Travis had about the former's lacking bashfulness about rocking out with his c**k out. "Listen, my d**k is low on the totem pole. I'm not impressing anybody. If you want to look at it, go for it. Be my guest. it's not going to impress you. It’s efficient. it gets the job done. I still remember going into the YMCA and Cleveland Heights and seeing an old man's balls dragging along a sauna. You know how hard it is not to look at an old man’s balls in a sauna? You can't not look at those. There's nothing sexual about it, Torrey! [...] I really honestly think guys just don't want to be interviewed in the locker room, and a lot of people are crying wolf right now to just try and get reporters out of the locker room. It's so easy to just not show your d**k to everybody. Put a towel on, or go into the bathroom that they aren't in. They're not in the showers like, ‘Hey! How’d you catch that ball!?’ Like you can definitely not show your d**k if you don't want to, guys." https://twitter.com/newheightshow/status/1844416345305383094 Anything that's in the interest of NFL players, I just tend to side with them by default. That said, it's refreshing to see an actual superstar player's perspective on the matter. Travis seemed more on Smith's side for speaking out before Jason launched into his rant about the general vibe of locker rooms, whether it's in pro football or a Cleveland-area YMCA. And he does raise a good point that players could fairly easily go out of their way to not expose themselves to reporters, even if it's a minor inconvenience. In the end, though, I still think I'm in the NFLPA's corner on this one. So what if it's just a collusion-esque ploy by the players to curb media access? These guys face enough exposure and scrutiny between actual games, social media, national TV, and the beat reporters who cover their daily professional lives. What's the arm in giving the players a little reprieve? I get that athletes have dealt with the locker room status quo for decades, but they've also never been so exposed as they are now. The NFL has never been more popular and only continues to grow its fandom, revenue, and so forth. Plus, these players have a very finite window to maximize their earnings and set themselves up for the rest of their lives, which ideally extend far beyond their playing careers. May not be the worst thing to have the media take a bit of a step back, or perhaps a kind of middle of the road compromise can be reached. Anyway, another banger of a segment from New Heights, and more Jason Kelce hilarity. The man continues to be a gem and deliver the goods in retirement.
