Many analysts and former athletes have voiced their opinions on former NFL star Jason Kelce’s viral phone-smashing incident. The 37-year-old received both criticism and support for his latest outburst. Recently, former Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Rashad McCants has come forward to back the Philadelphia Eagles legend.
Kelce, who was attending the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Ohio State Buckeyes game, encountered a heckler. The Penn State fan used a homophobic slur against Jason’s brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The big brother snatched the fan’s phone and smashed it before a heated exchange.
Among his supporters, McCants recently backed Kelce and claimed the heckler was lucky to only get his phone smashed. “He’s lucky [Kelce] didn’t punch him,” McCants said. “I think Jason is a standup guy. He did what he felt was the right thing at the moment, and that was to not harm the person and to harm what they loved most, and that is that damn phone.”

The former NBA guard continued his rant against the heckler. “Someone is saying an F-slur to him about his brother. You don’t get to pick and choose to be the victim,” he said.
Penn State Police Investigate Jason Kelce’s Fan Altercation Incident
On ‘Monday Night Countdown’ this week, the former Eagles star expressed regret over the incident and issued an apology. Jason claimed he was not proud and would do better moving forward.
“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it. And in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing,” he said.
While ESPN has opted not to penalize Jason Kelce over the incident, the fan pursued legal action for his damaged phone. The University Police and Public Safety (UPPS) is investigating the incident.

The former Eagles star had an incident with a Nittany Lions supporter on his way to their game against Ohio State on Saturday that ended up going viral online.
Kelce made an appearance on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ ahead of the fixture, but it wasn’t a smooth Saturday as he smashed a fan’s phone for asking how he feels about his brother Travis being “f***ot” for dating Taylor Swift, because it’s apparently gay to date women now…
Kelce would grab said fan’s phone, as he was recording him at the time, before smashing it and then asking him, “Who’s the faggot now?”
