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:
Can’t blame Jason Kelce here… what a loser

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.”
Jason Kelce addressed the Penn State phone-smashing incident at the start of ESPN’s pregame show tonight and apologized:

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.
