Jason Kelce Loses His Cool: Smashes Person's Phone After Travis Kelce Was Called A Slur

NFL fans and Pennsylvania residents alike were left stunned this weekend after former Eagles star and current commentator Jason Kelce snapped during a heated encounter at a Saturday morning game between Ohio State and Penn State in Happy Valley.

Known for his no-nonsense attitude both on and off the field, Jason's patience hit a breaking point after an offensive comment about his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, escalated into a fiery moment caught on camera.

Initially, a crowd of fans followed Jason Kelce around, cheering him on and even asking for fist bumps, but the mood turned sour, when a member of the crowd hurled an anti-gay slur targeting Travis Kelce and his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

In footage circulating online, Jason can be seen stopping in his tracks, visibly angered, and confronting a man nearby. Moments later, he grabbed the man’s phone and forcefully threw it to the ground, where it made a loud shattering sound before he stormed off.

One social media user who shared the clip on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, wrote, "I love this. Jason Kelce just took a stand for normal men against the 'idiots who have become way too comfortable saying ridiculous sh-t to people who can actually kick their a--' crowd. Good for him."

Though the offensive slur clearly provoked Jason, some questions remain about whether he targeted the correct individual.

No footage has surfaced that clearly identifies who in the crowd shouted the slur, and it’s unclear if Jason inadvertently grabbed the wrong person’s phone. However, an additional angle shows the man arguing with Jason immediately before the incident, though it’s unknown if he was the one responsible for the initial slur.

After seeing the video of the incident, many fans of the Kelce brothers (and of Taylor Swift) praised the retired NFL player for taking a stance.

"Making fun of a 6'3 300lb man's family is an interesting choice," one X user said.

"It’s crazy that people actually use the f slur offensively in 2024- how miserable do you have to be," another expressed.

"A man is seen as a faggot for dating one of the most successful/sought after women in the world?" a third said, referring to Taylor Swift.

"Good for Jason," a fourth said, adding, "That guy is a loser."

The comments continued to pour in, with one social media user claiming, "This is exactly how trolls should be handled in real life."

"Kudos to Jason Kelce," another said, adding, "He isn’t somebody u want to mess with, especially when you bad-mouthing his brother."

"And he did the right thing… no one would hear sh-t about his brother and the girl he is dating, especially if it's Taylor Swift," someone else expressed. "We support Jason Kelce."

"Ever wonder what a Keyboard Warrior looks like in real life?" one X user questioned.

The Kelce brothers also host a popular podcast called "New Heights," where they share stories from their lives, discuss current sports events, and often tease each other.

The podcast has allowed fans to get an inside look at their relationship, which is characterized by a blend of brotherly competition and unconditional support. The two share a close, and often humorous bond as brothers, and it’s one that’s been well-documented both on and off the football field.

Born just two years apart—Jason in 1987 and Travis in 1989—the Kelce brothers grew up in Ohio and have been each other’s biggest supporters and occasional rivals since childhood.
