Excitement surrounding a unique Super Bowl petition intensifies
With the Super Bowl just around the corner on February 12th, the online petition for a special coin toss moment gains popularity. At present, it boasts over 35,000 signatures, making it one of the most beloved petitions on Change.org.
Donna Kelce, NFL's first mother to have two sons playing in opposing Super Bowl teams, is renowned for her captivating half-and-half tops. These outfits elegantly display the team colors of her sons, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
Amber Smith, the ingenious creator of the petition, writes, "What a fantastic opportunity to shower your super proud mother with unparalleled respect and love while granting her a once-in-a-lifetime experience!"
Donna shared her thrill with the Today Show earlier this week, remarking, "We've secured our first victory, so we'll truly enjoy ourselves and have a ball!"
She continued, "Of course, there will be those who leave feeling melancholic, unable to boast at the Thanksgiving table, but it'll be a wonderful event, and I'm genuinely looking forward to it."
Both sons, having already secured Super Bowl victories — Travis in 2019 with the Chiefs and Jason in 2017 with the Eagles — will share Donna's unwavering pride, regardless of this year's outcome.
Travis expressed his enthusiasm, "I'd be over the moon! Maybe a few tears will flow. It'll be an incredibly emotional moment."
Trivia
When Travis and Jason Kelce take the field, they will create NFL history by becoming the first brothers to face each other in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Donna will be witnessing her sons' rivalry, further solidifying their bond as a family.
Petition Highlights
- Background: Initiated to honor Donna Kelce as the Super Bowl coin toss participant, the petition gains support due to the historical significance of her sons' Super Bowl matchup.
- Current Status: Ongoing since January 2025, the petition encourages community engagement and recognition of Donna's role in NFL history.
- Super Bowl Context: As a globally recognized event, the Super Bowl combines spectacle and strategy, with the coin toss being an integral pre-game ritual to set the tone for the game.
Despite the growing popularity of the petition, it is essential to remember that the coin toss is a traditionally male-dominated role. Including Donna in this tradition would undoubtedly make history, but it would also contribute to progress in promoting women's involvement in sports.
