Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has broken his silence on Saturday’s incident between older brother, Jason, and a heckling fan at Happy Valley.

Jason Kelce was in Happy Valley for Saturday’s highly-anticipated showdown between two marquee football programs, the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes. While the former Philadelphia Eagles center was walking about, a heckling fan came up to Kelce and called his younger brother a homophobic slur.

Bystanders caught the incident between Kelce and the hecker on video. The fan goes up to the Eagles legend and calls Travis a “f****t” for dating Taylor Swift, prompting a provoked Jason to smash the fan’s phone before asking, “Who’s the f****t” now?”

A video of the incident is available below, but be warned that it contains language that is offensive and NSFW:


During the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast that Travis and Jason Kelce co-host, the Chiefs superstar tight end addressed the incident. Travis called the heckler a “clown” and came to the defense of his brother:

“I know it’s weighing on you, brother. That s–t sucks. You shouldn’t feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and everybody passing around the videos that are out there. That’s gonna make it a bigger situation than what it really is…

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 have used some words that you regret using.”

Jason addressed the incident during ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” program before the Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Jason expressed regret over the incident, noting he’ll continue to try and treat others “with decency.”

Penn State police are investigating the incident between Kelce and the heckling fan, who has not been publicly identified.

Jason Kelce Will Learn From The Incident

Regardless of which side you’re on, that heckling fan had no reason to provoke Kelce and call his brother a homophobic slur. Jason was minding his own business and simply trying to enjoy a nice day out in Happy Valley.

But Kelce should be applauded for owning up to his actions, and everyone can take away something from his on-air apology on Monday. Emotions get the best of all of us sometimes, but it’s always better to never sink to the level of others who go low like this Penn State fan.

Travis Kelce “Liked” Interesting Political Post Ahead Of The U.S. Presidential Election

There is no evidence that Travis Kelce publicly endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris or Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump this year.

That was until now.

Taylor Swift is not slated to perform at a Kamala Harris event on Monday night – fueling speculation that she will be cheering on Travis Kelce as he gets set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium while Harris carries out her final campaign event before Tuesday’s presidential election.

Ahead of that game, Kelce is going viral on social media.

On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared at Friday’s Eras Tour concert at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Following that concert, Amanda Santa — the girlfriend of Kelce’s manager, Aaron Eanes — took to Instagram and officially announced her endorsement of Harris-Walz.


Social media users couldn’t help but notice that Travis Kelce gave a ringing endorsement by liking that post from his Instagram.

Even though it is not a ringing endorsement, it should be noted that Keclc has shown where he stands in the past as he was among the first white players to take a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick’s protest of police brutality.

He has also been a spokesperson for Pfizer and Bud Light.
