Jason Kelce Smashes Fan’s Phone for Gay Slur About Brother Travis

Jason Kelce smashed the cell phone of a student who shouted gay slurs about his brother Travis before Saturday’s game at Penn State. After the student shouted, “Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is ready to date Taylor Swift?” The former Philadelphia Eagle turned around, grabbed the student’s phone and threw it to the ground.

The former football star was in Pennsylvania on Saturday before the Penn State-Ohio State game in State College to take part as an analyst on ESPN’s “College GameDay.”

A video shared on social media shows fans surrounding Kelce as he walks through the crowd. After one person asks for a punch, the fan that had infuriated Kelce shouts a question containing the slur. Kelce seemed understandably frustrated and angered by the question and the use of an intended insult against his brother, Travis.

The second video more clearly shows Kelce turning around, grabbing the phone from the fan, smashing it on the ground, then picking it up and walking away.

Fans largely supported the decision on social media. Philadelphia sports fan Alec Fallon wrote on X: “New laws need to be introduced that allow people to hold idiots like this accountable. Like people can just blatantly harass, throw a phone in someone’s face and call them a nasty son of a bitch for no reason at all, and if they get beaten up they won’t be in the right? Absurd.”

“Bring back such abusive idiots. I wish Kelce would punch this loser. It would make my day. Jason Kelce is the epitome of Philadelphia. Look around and find out. (Also Kelce won’t be charged with anything) lmao – no prosecutor in Pennsylvania is charging Kelce with anything),” Fallon added.

Kelce’s “College GameDay” performance alongside Pat McAfee in a kicking battle later that day was not as successful as the former linesman might have expected. Kelce had a chance to win $100,000 for hurricane relief if he kicked a field goal, and when he missed the first time, the amount increased to $200,000. Unfortunately, Kelce also missed his second field goal. He later explained, “I’m not good at digging, OK?!”
