Remember when Jason Kelce made that comment after World Series Game 7? He joked, “You’re telling me I’m supposed to get excited about a Canadian baseball team,” and added that “everyone knew this was going to happen before the season.” Well, the jab at both teams, especially the part about Canada, sparked a big backlash up north.

Kelce eventually walked it back, saying, “Guys, I love Canada. I got bamboozled by our social team that didn’t share the full story. How could I not love poutine, maple syrup, and beavers?” But it looks like he’s still struggling to win back his Canadian fans. His latest stunt, meant to help, maybe, ended up coming off pretty bizarre and likely rubbed people the wrong way yet again.
Kelce’s podcast “New Heights” shared a new clip via X, which reads “Canada, this one’s for you.”

What’s bizarre is that Jason Kelce started his own freestyle rendition of “O Canada.” Jason opened with “O Canada, our home and native land,” but quickly shifted into improvised lines.
He sang, “True, maple syrup, and poutine for our face,” followed by “We say hi, we hold doors,” before stopping and saying he was done.

Well, Canada is not all about maple syrup. And we are also skeptical about how much Kelce’s newest antics would bring back his Canadian followers. “Nothing irritates us more than someone singing our anthem wrong and making fun of it. They did such a poor job of our anthem in Los Angeles.” Going by this one fan reaction, we are almost sure that Kelce has surely rubbed a few wrong nose again.
What’s worse for him is that, even though he didn’t like the 2025 World Series, for MLB it was a huge success!!!

Reportedly, the seven-game series pulled in an average of 34 million viewers across the U.S., Canada, and Japan. That’s the biggest World Series audience since 1992. That’s also a 19% jump from last year’s Dodgers–Yankees matchup, which wrapped up in just five games. So, for anyone claiming people don’t care about a Canadian team in the World Series, the numbers tell a very different story.
Kelce took a good hit from the Dodgers, also.
While the controversy with the Blue Jays fans is still ongoing, Kelce’s comment about the Dodgers buying the championship took a different turn.

While he apologized to the Canadian fans after the controversy, that’s far from reality with the Dodgers. Instead, Kelce further doubles down with his initial dig. “I just hate a system that allows for such inequality in competitive fairness across an entire league. And them winning two years in a row is just a gross reminder of that.”
So, even if olive branches are flying with the Canadian fans, Dodgers fans are all armed up…
Jason Kelce’s shots at the Dodgers even got a response from team president and CEO Stan Kasten, who pointed out that having a big payroll doesn’t guarantee a World Series win. Thus, echoing Bryce Harper’s take from his appearance on Starkville with Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville.

“First of all, history demonstrates that’s not true. Usually, the team with the highest payroll doesn’t win the World Series. I hate to throw facts at him, but I will throw one quote from someone in his city, and that’s Bryce Harper, who said the only people complaining are losers. I think he’s exactly right.”
So now the question is whether Jason Kelce’s got another stunt on the way. But for the moment, though, he’s juggling backlash from both sides.
