Jason Kelce appears to break a man’s phone after using gay slurs – NBC New York

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce appeared to smash the phone of a man who called his brother Travis, a gay slur for dating star artist Taylor Swift.

Kelce, now a football analyst for ESPN, was attending the Penn State-Ohio State game on Saturday when videos of the incident circulated on social media, which were verified by NBC News.

From multiple angles, Kelce could be seen walking through the crowd with a case of beer in his hand, while a man in the background could be heard shouting in Kelce’s direction before using the slur.

Kelce then appeared to turn around, grab the phone, slam it on the ground, pick it up off the floor and walk away. From another angle, the man appeared to chase after Kelce and asked for the phone back, at which point words were exchanged.

The man’s identity – whether he was a student or spectator – was not immediately known.

ESPN had no comment when NBC10 Philadelphia initially reached out.

Kelce is in his first season as an anchor at ESPN after a 13-year NFL career with Philadelphia, where he won a Super Bowl (LII, 2017 campaign) and was named a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time First-Team All-Pro.

His brother, Travis, still stars for the Kansas City Chiefs and is a three-time Super Bowl winner, most recently winning the Lombardi Trophy last season.

Travis Kelce and Swift first started dating in the summer of 2023 as the rumors became more popular. Swift eventually began attending Chiefs games, both home and away, while Kelce was present at several of the 14-time Grammy winner’s concerts.
