Fans are not happy that Jason Kelce apologized on-air for shattering a fan’s phone over the weekend at the beginning of ESPN’s Monday Night Football show. ‘Everybody has seen what happened,’ Kelce remarked. Nothing that happened makes me pleased; I am not proud of it. “A hot moment to greet hate with hate and I don’t think that’s a healthy thing, I honestly don’t. It’s not the correct approach to approach things, in my opinion. I dropped to a level inappropriate for me.
‘I aim to live my life with the golden rule, treat people with common decency and going to try to keep doing that moving ahead.’ Following insistence he did nothing wrong, some users hurried to social media to defend Kelce, who responded to a fan calling his brother Travis a “f*****” by slamming his phone to the ground.
One said: ‘Jason Kelce ought not to have to pay apologies for defending his brother. Loving you’. Another posted: ‘F*** ESPN for Jason Kelce’s on-air apologies. That dude did not do a damned thing wrong. A third put: ‘Jason Kelce shouldn’t be apologising! An a**hole uttered some rude things, and at the moment you behaved how you thought appropriate! Don’t bend the knee and apologies!
After Jason Kelce crushed a fan’s phone to the floor for disparaging his brother’s relationship with the singer, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have banded behind him. When the fan captured himself yelling, “Hey Kelce!” he shouted a homophobic slur. Your brother seems to be a f****t for dating Taylor Swift. Visiting Penn State on Saturday for a college football game, the older Kelce brother appeared on ESPN’s “College GameDay”.
Turning 37 on Tuesday, Kelce seized the phone from the fan, slammed it on the ground, and yelled: “Who’s the f****t now?” Then he picked the phone back up and strolled off carrying an open drink in another hand. Videos of the incident went viral right away on social media. Given Jason is among the friendliest men on the planet, a source close to the pair told DailyMail.com: “Taylor and Travis were both quite startled by this.”
It was abundantly evident how much he loves and respects Taylor. To him, Travis meant the world. He neither nor anyone find the word f****t to be appropriate. This fan exceeded the line. Jason sees Taylor as family now; he will never stand for someone disparaging his family. Regarding his own usage of the word “f****t” in reprisals to the fan, Jason Kelce has not yet spoken.
On social media, the sportsman has, nevertheless, drawn support. Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas penned on X: ‘I shouldn’t say, but whatever. I value Jason Kelce’s defending of his family. Jason is scheduled to make his next public appearance on Monday night as he travels to Kansas City to call Travis in NFL action for the Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ESPN.
