Fan directed homophobic slur at Travis KelceJason Kelce smashed phone in response
Police will not charge Jason Kelce over an altercation with a fan before a game between Penn State and Ohio State in November.
Penn State University police said in a statement that the case was closed. “The individual in the video footage circulating on social media has not been identified, and no one has come forward to University Police with a related complaint about damage to personal property,” read the statement.
Video on social media showed the retired Philadelphia Eagles center mixing with fans before the Penn State-Ohio State. One fan then asked Kelce: “How does it feel that your brother [Travis] is a faggot for dating Taylor Swift?” Kelce then appeared to grab the fan’s phone, slam it to the ground and say: “Who’s the faggot now?”
Kelce was at Penn State as part of ESPN’s broadcast of the game. A few days later, he was an analyst for ESPN’s coverage of the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and addressed that weekend’s incident.
“In a heated moment, I decided to greet hate with hate,” Kelce said before the broadcast of the Buccaneers-Chiefs game. “I fell short this week.”
