Authorities are investigating the confrontation that occurred between Jason Kelce and an unruly fan during the Penn State game this past weekend.
According to information obtained by TMZ Sports, the investigation into the viral exchange between the Philadelphia Eagles great and a man who used a homophobic slur to describe his brother, Travis, is “ongoing.” The investigation is being conducted by the school’s Police and Public Safety organizations.
Kelce was in town to witness the historic matchup between Ohio State and Penn State, which the Buckeyes won 20–13 in the end.

One person can be heard asking Jason, “Kelce, how does it feel your brother is a f***** for dating Taylor Swift?” on the video.
When Kelce lost it, he turned around, grabbed a phone, and smashed it to the floor.
More video, which TMZ Sports was able to obtain, shows the individual pushing Kelce and demanding that he return his phone while Kelce yells, “Who is the f***** now?” three times.
Penn State coach James Franklin was asked today about being introspective. Here, he gets introspective tying together goals, expectations, fans and the viral video involving Jason Kelce at Penn State.

ESPN declined to comment on the situation, but since “Monday Night Countdown” is scheduled to run in a few hours, it will be clear whether or not Kelce’s TV gig has been impacted.
