Jason was in Penn State on Saturday for the CFB game between the Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes.

The 36-year-old appeared in an analyst role on ESPN’s College GameDay before being confronted by a fan outside Beaver Stadium.

“Hey Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?” the fan was heard shouting on viral footage.

Jason appeared to grab the phone from the fan, before slamming it to the ground.

“Who’s the f****t now?” he was heard saying before walking away.

According to Page Six, police on campus confirmed no incident report had been filed.

Swift and Jason’s brother Travis, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, have been dating since last summer.

The pop sensation has spent time with both Jason and his wife Kylie at numerous NFL games, including Super Bowl LVIII in February.

According to The Daily Mail, both Taylor and Travis were “shocked” by the events on Saturday.

A source told the outlet: “Taylor and Travis were both really shocked by this considering Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world.

“It really became clear how much he loves and respects Taylor. Travis means the world to him.

“The use of the word f****t is not okay with him nor anyone.

“This fan crossed the line. Jason will never stand for anyone insulting his family and he views Taylor as family now.”

Jason retired in February following a 13-year career in the NFL.

He has since forged a successful analyst career with ESPN and hosts the popular podcast New Heights with his brother.

‘It was a short retirement!’

Jason Kelce didn’t stay retired in the NFL for long.

The former Philadelphia Eagles lineman called it quits after the 2023 season.

But he will be part of ESPN’s coverage on Monday Night Football in 2024.

Kelce will appear on Monday Night Countdown from 6pm-8pm ET every week as well as during the halftime show.

“Turns out, it was a short retirement!” he joked.

“ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports.

“To now appear on that same screen is a full circle moment.

“And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”

The 36-year-old has signed a $1.8 million per season deal with the sports network.

His contract includes an extra $1 million sign-on bonus and sees him work as a Monday Night Football pundit.

A well-placed source has told The U.S. Sun that toy manufacturer Spin Master is the latest company to secure Jason on yet another massive deal.

The new three-year contract is worth a tasty $950,000 a year, with a $750,000 signing bonus.

Spin Master, a “leading global children’s entertainment company,” is the creator of the popular TV show Paw Patrol.
