Jason Kelce Faces Criticism for Phone Incident

News summary

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has expressed regret over his reaction to a fan's homophobic slur directed at his brother, Travis Kelce, during a recent incident at Penn State's Beaver Stadium. In the heat of the moment, Jason smashed the fan's phone after the slur was shouted, saying, 'Who’s the f***** now?' Subsequently, he reflected on his actions during ESPN's Monday Night Countdown, admitting he responded with 'hate' and emphasizing his commitment to treating others with respect. The incident sparked a divided response online, with many defending Jason's reaction, while others, including Philadelphia radio host Jon Marks, criticized him for not exercising restraint given his elevated celebrity status. Marks suggested that Jason should rely on security instead of taking matters into his own hands, highlighting the need for public figures to manage their responses to harassment. No formal incident report has been filed by campus security, and it remains unclear if there will be any legal repercussions for the altercation.
