The world of sport has stood alongside Jason Kelce after video emerged of him slamming a fan’s phone to floor in response to being taunted about his brother. The older Kelce brother and recently retired NFL star was at Penn State on Saturday for the school’s huge college football game against Ohio State when he was goaded by a fan. ‘Hey Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a f***** for dating Taylor Swift?’ a fan shouted at him.
Kelce continued walking after the homophobic slur before turning around, grabbing the fan’s phone and furiously slamming it down into the ground. He then picked it back up and said ‘who is the f***** now?’ before walking away. ‘Nah man! I’m with J on this one. You can’t just run up on people saying whatever you want, and acting however you want to! This was BS,’ said NFL analyst Ryan Clark on X. Jason Kelce slams fan’s phone over disgusting jibe at Travis
Kelce then walked away with the guy’s phone before asking him: ‘Who’s the f***** now?’ He continued: ‘Homophobic slurs about this man’s brother for no reason. There should be someone that keeps folks away from J in these cases! You know why tho.’
Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports founder, was on Kelce’s side, writing on X: ‘Jason Kelce shoulda smashed this guys nose into his brain.’ Portnoy then shared a screengrab of the viral video where the fan has a clenched fist as Kelce threw the phone to the ground.
‘Love this loser clenching his fist after Kelce emasculated him like he was gonna do something,’ he wrote. Clay Travis, the founder of Outkick who was at the game in question, wrote on X: ‘1. Awesome game. Great scene. Phenomenal time.
2. No one likes phone in face/insult guy regardless of what he is saying. ‘
3. If Kelce had smashed his phone or punched him, he’d be in less trouble than for using a gay slur, which is wild. 4. Flicking him off and calling him a b**** or just ignoring him and there’s no story here.
5. Reminds me of Beth Dutton on last season of Yellowstone.’ Kelce also got support from Antonio Brown, who shared the clip and wrote: ‘I mean good for Jason Kelce. ‘There’s comedy & entertainment. And then there’s crossing line wit (sic) family.’
