Jemele Hill has picked a side following Jason Kelce’s surprising altercation with a Penn State fan on Saturday.

Kelce left the student needing a new phone after smashing it in retaliation for calling his brother, Travis Kelce, a homophobic slur.

The former Eagles star expressed regret over the incident on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ this week, claiming he was not proud and will do better moving forward.

“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it,” he said. “And in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing. I really don’t. I don’t think it leads to discourse, and [don’t think] it’s the right way to go about things. 

“In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. So I think bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule. It’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with common decency and respect, even though I fell short this week. I’m going to do that moving forward and continue to do that.”

Jemele Hill Doesn’t Think Jason Kelce Had Anything To Apologize For

Jemle Hill didn’t think Kelce needed to apologize.

“He had nothing to apologize for,” she wrote on X, though he didn’t, technically.

Of course, Kelce has recognized he didn’t handle things in the best way and is looking to put it behind him.

Given that the confrontation had already happened in the heat of the moment, showing accountability was the next best thing, and he has been applauded for it.

Meanwhile, ESPN has opted not to dish out any punishment over the incident, however, it is being investigated by University Police and Public Safety (UPPS).

Jemele Hill Slams New Outlets For “Irresponsible Headlines” On Caitlin Clark

Jemele Hill has lashed out at various outlets she claims have created “irresponsible headlines” to highlight Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA playoffs.

Clark’s time in the postseason was short-lived, as her Indiana Fever were swept in the first round. But one of her playoff games averaged more than twice the viewership of Sunday’s semifinal clash between the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces.

Even so, the game was the most-watched semi-final in 22 years, attracting an average of 929,000 viewers, up 60 percent from last year’s semis.

Hill responded to a post noting the above by tweeting the following:

“And yet I keep seeing irresponsible headlines claiming the WNBA playoffs are down because of no Caitlin Clark.”

Clark and the Fever drew a WNBA record 1.84 million viewers in the rookie’s first playoff game against the Connecticut Sun on September 22. The second game brought 2.54 million viewers, which was more than twice the amount of viewers who watched Sunday’s Liberty-Aces fixture.

Jemele Hill Had To Admit That There Would Be More People Watching The Playoffs If Caitlin Clark Were Still In It

While Hill felt the headlines promoting Clark’s impact were “irresponsible,” she did admit that viewership would have been higher if Clark had been still playing.

“Would the ratings be higher if she were in it? Of course,” she added. “But guess what, [an NBA] Finals would rate higher if it were Lebron vs. Steph. Or, if big market teams were in the mix. So what? That’s the headline.”

While Clark’s games have been the most-watched in the playoffs this year, it’s great that the WNBA could draw as many eyes without her involvement.

Meanwhile, the former Iowa star was confirmed as the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year this Thursday, receiving 66 out of 67 votes, with one vote going to Angel Reese.
