We have all seen the video by now that showed Jason Kelce grabbing a fan’s phone and throwing it to the ground, then turning to confront the man dressed in Penn State attire to call him an anti-gay slur.
Kelce appeared to use the same anti-gay slur that was directed to his brother, Travis, for being in a relationship with Taylor Swift.
Jason Kelce is now opening up more about the incident during the latest installment of his “New Heights” podcast.
“I’m not happy about the situation,” Kelce began. “Me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety. That’s what I regret. Alright. It didn’t deserve attention. It’s really stupid and if I just keep walking it’s a f–king nothing burger. Nobody sees it.
“Now it’s out there, and it just perpetuates more hate. The thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you. That word he used, its just f–king ridiculous, it takes it to another level. It’s just off the wall, f–king over the line. As a human, it got under my skin. And it elicited a reaction and in the heat of the moment.
“I thought, ‘What can I say back to him? I’m gonna throw that s–t right back in his face because f–k him.’ I know now I shouldn’t have done that because now there is a video out there with me saying that word, him saying that word, and it’s not good for anybody. I think what I do regret is that now there is a video that is very hateful that is now online that has been seen by millions of people, and I share fault in perpetuating it and having it out there.”
Travis then jumped in and further defended Jason Kelce, stating, “I know it’s weighing on you, brother,” Travis said. “That s–t sucks. You shouldn’t feel this much — obviously, the scrutiny and media view on it and everybody passing around the videos out there. That’s gonna make it a bigger situation than what I think what it really is.
“But the real situation is you had some f–king clown come up to you and talk about your family, and you reacted in a way that was defending your family, and you might’ve used some words that you regret using, and that’s you just gotta kind of learn from and own, and I think you owning it and speaking about it shows how sincere you are to a lot of people on this world and it shows what you said on Monday night. You don’t choose that. That’s just not who you are. I love you, brother, and I think you said that perfectly.”
Jason Kelce apologized during ESPN’s pregame show Monday night.
“In a heated moment, I decided to greet hate with hate,” Kelce said before ESPN’s broadcast of the Buccaneers-Chiefs game. “I fell short this week.”
Kelce added he’s “not proud” of the interaction with the fan, saying he “fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have.”
