Jason Kelce recently called Welsh people 'posh, rich, and upper-class' -but Rob McElhenney wants to show him that isn't the case.
The Wrexham co-owner extended an invite to the former Philadelphia Eagles star on X, offering Kelce a personal tour of the country to better inform him on Welsh culture and its people.

"Yes, incredibly wrong," the It's Always Sunny actor posted after Jason admitted he was happy to be proved wrong about his original assertion.
"I should show you around someday. I might know a few people. See for yourself," McElhenney added.
It remains to be seen if Kelce accepts the invite, but if he does, a trip to Wrexham's historic Racecourse Ground would surely be on the agenda, especially after the Ryan Reynolds-backed team were recently promoted to League One.
Kelce's musings about Wales cropped up during a discussion about former international rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit and his decision to switch sports and join the Kansas City Chiefs.

The legendary offensive lineman was talking about the sensational move with brother Travis - who happens to be a new teammate of LRZ - on their popular 'New Heights' podcast.
"When I think of Welsh, I think British people call it 'posh'. I think of these rich, upper class, just beautiful white people," the Super Bowl LII champion said.
"He [Rees-Zammit] is the running stereotype of what I would think of with a Welsh person. I don't know if that's an accurate stereotype but that's certainly what I think of and he's helping continue that trend in my mind.
"I'm excited to see what this guy does. I know it's gonna be a learning curve, but I hope this guy takes the world by f****** storm.

"It will be electric. With a smile like that, this guy… if he works out, he's gonna be the most marketable player of all time."
Some Welsh people picked up on the comments on social media, with one person writing: "I've grown to really like Jason Kelce in recent months, he's such a character, but what's on about?

"Granted, Rees-Zammit is a well-brought up Vale of Glamorgan boy, but I'm not sure the Welsh are considered posh."
After being called out, Kelce admitted he 'was very incorrect on this.'
"Yeah, I’ve come to understand, I was very incorrect on this," the iconic center responded.
"Based on further assessment since these incorrect statements, not sure why I had these preconceptions in my mind, but I have found that the Welsh seem exactly like my kind of people. Happy to be incredibly wrong."
Rees-Zammit’s decision to leave English rugby union side Gloucester in January and quit the sport altogether on the eve of Wales' Six Nations campaign was criticised by many.
But his gamble paid off after massively impressing during the NFL's International Player Pathway Program (IPPP), a crash-course designed to teach the required skills to succeed in the NFL, and being signed by the back-to-back Super Bowl-winning Chiefs.
He is expected to play as a wide receiver or running back but head coach Andy Reid has others ideas too.
Kelce has already sent a welcome text to 'Rees-Lightning' but also warned him life in the NFL will be a steep learning curve.

"It's gonna be a humbling experience at first. It's not easy to just make that jump, they're two completely different games," Kelce said on a recent New Heights episode.
"He is an athlete and that's what the Chiefs saw. He's a smart kid, a smart player. So he's gonna be able to pick up the offense eventually.
"But it's gonna be a tough few months for him here while he's getting acclimated to the NFL. We've been doing this since we were kids, so we're gonna have those little instincts that we've built over the years that he's got to catch up with."
Still, Kelce said he can't wait to get started with LRZ and praised his 'ballsy' move for switching sports.
"I really just enjoy the guy's energy so far,' the superstar tight end said.

"He's super excited about the opportunity that he's been given, knowing that not everybody gets these opportunities.
"He was an absolute star in the European rugby league he was in. So for him to make the jump and try and go from Wales to Kansas City man... it's a pretty ballsy move and a pretty bold move to be making man."
