STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce allegedly smashed a fan’s phone at a Penn State football game on Saturday after the person directed a homophobic slur at his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in connection with his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Snel.

Kelce had a half-empty case of beer with him at the time. It is not known how drunk he was at the time of the incident.

The incident occurred while Kelce was attending the highly anticipated game between Penn State and Ohio State at Beaver Stadium. According to witnesses, a fan approached Kelce and made an offensive comment asking, “Kelce! How does it feel that your brother is in a (smear) relationship with Taylor Swift?’

In response, Jason Kelce turned around, grabbed the fan’s phone and slammed him to the ground. Witnesses report Kelce responded with a heated comment before walking away.

The interaction, which has since spread widely on social media, has drawn mixed reactions from fans and commentators. Some have criticized the fan’s language as inappropriate and offensive, while others have debated Kelce’s response and whether it was justified.

Neither Jason Kelce nor his representatives have made a public statement about the incident. The Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL have also not commented on the altercation, and it remains unclear whether any formal complaints have been filed.

The Kelce brothers have both attracted significant public attention in recent months, largely due to Travis Kelce’s relationship with Swift, which has been widely reported in the media and brought a wave of new fans to NFL games. The increased visibility has also led to increased scrutiny and, in some cases, negative reactions from certain fans.

The incident highlights the challenges public figures face in dealing with intrusive or offensive behavior from fans, as well as the tensions that can arise when personal lives intersect with public life on such a visible scale. It remains to be seen whether further action will be taken regarding the feud.
