Jason Kelce Appears to Smash Man’s Phone After Using Gay Slur – NBC New York

Former Philadelphia Eagles Center Jason Kelce appeared to smash the phone of a man who called his brother, Travis, a gay slur for dating star artist Taylor Swift.

Kelce, now an ESPN football analyst, attended the Penn State vs. Ohio State on Saturday when videos of the incident circulated on social media, which were verified by NBC News.

Multiple angles showed Kelce walking through the crowd with a case of beer in his hand as a man in the background could be heard yelling in Kelce’s direction before using the slur.

Kelce then appeared to turn around, grab the phone, smash it to the ground, pick it up off the ground, and walk away. A different angle appeared to show the man chasing Kelce asking him to give him his phone back, to which words were exchanged.

The identity of the man, whether he was a student or a general bystander, was not immediately known.

ESPN had no comment when initially contacted by NBC10 Philadelphia.

Kelce is in his first season as a broadcaster with ESPN after a 13-year NFL career with Philadelphia, where he won a Super Bowl (LII, 2017 campaign) in addition to being named a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time First Team. All professional.

His brother, Travis, still plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and is a three-time Super Bowl winner, most recently hoisting the Lombardi Trophy last season.

Travis Kelce and Swift began dating in the summer of 2023 when the rumors gained steam. Swift has finally started attending Chiefs games, both home and away, while Kelce has been present at multiple concerts by the 14-time Grammy winner.
