Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval (D) issued a response after being criticized by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Kelce made the criticism after the team defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
While speaking with a reporter after the game, Kelce said, “I appreciate ya’ll. How about this beautiful trophy?”
He added, “I’ve got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor: Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni. You’ve got to fight for your right to party!”
Kelce went on to hold the trophy up.
A jabroni is defined as a “stupid, foolish, or contemptible person; loser.”

He added, “Proud of our fans and our for the energy all year. Who Dey!”
The mayor not only received criticism from Kelce but also from the team’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
After the game, Mahomes told reporters, “The mayor came at me, man. He’s the mayor of Cincinnati, so he’s gotta think about something.”
Pureval previously declared the Sunday matchup as, “They Gotta Play Us Day.”
The mayor noted in his proclamation Mahomes’ 0-3 record against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
