VIDEO: Jason Kelce Breaks His Silence Live On ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown After Smashing Penn State Fan’s Phone Over Homophobic Slur Jason Kelce (Photo via ESPN)
ESPN analyst and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce addressed the cell phone smashing incident with a heckling fan on Saturday.

Jason Kelce was at the Penn State-Ohio State contest in Happy Valley on Saturday. While he was walking about, cameras caught a heckling fan going up to Jason and calling his brother Travis a f****t.

A provoked Jason smashed the fan’s cell phone to the ground and said, “Who’s the f****t now?” A video of the incident is available below, but be warned that it contains language that will disturb some viewers.

During today’s edition of “Monday Night Countdown” at Arrowhead Stadium, Kelce addressed the incident and expressed regret over what transpired:

“Listen, I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing…In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. Bottom line is, I want to live my life…I try to treat people with common decency and respect…

Even though I fell short this week, I’m gonna do that moving forward.”

Jason Kelce Has The Perfect & Powerful Message

Regardless of who you think is at fault here, Kelce should be applauded for owning up to his words and actions and apologizing on live television. One can argue that he should have handled the matter a lot better, but the fan was completely out of line for using a homophobic slur (in the year 2024, really?) towards his brother.
