Report: Penn State police investigating Jason Kelce phone smashing, homophobic slur incident

Penn State police are investigating an altercation between Jason Kelce and a fan that occurred before Saturday’s game against Ohio State, TMZ reported Monday.

Kelce, who was a guest on ESPN’s College GameDay that morning, was walking through a crowd when one man shouted a homophobic slur about his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is dating pop star Taylor Swift.

“Hey, Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?” the man said.

Kelce was not having any of that, as he turned around and walked toward the man, who was filming him. He then grabbed his phone and threw it hard onto the ground. Other people who were recording on their phones in the area captured the altercation.

Additional footage caught Kelce then turning to the man and saying, “Who’s the f****t now?”

A Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler with the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce announced his retirement after the 2023 season. He has since gone on to have a role on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown as he looks to make the transition into television analyst.

It’s unclear whether this will affect his role with the network, as TMZ also reported that ESPN declined to comment on the matter. For now, we’ll await the results of the investigation to see what comes of it.

This story will be updated.
