Jason Kelce was pushed to the ground by a Penn State fan before repeatedly throwing gay slurs at him in a new video

Jason Kelce was pushed to the ground by a Penn State fan before repeatedly throwing gay slurs at him in a new video

A new video obtained by TMZ Saturday shows a fan in a Penn State hoodie pushing Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce from behind, causing him to fall, ahead of Saturday’s game against Ohio State.

Previous video showed Kelce, who was on hand to participate in ESPN’s College Gameday, walking through a crowd at Beaver Stadium. Someone behind him shouted, “Hey Kelce, how does it feel knowing your brother is a (homophobic slur) dating Taylor Swift?”

Kelce stopped, turned around and went back to the young man in the Penn State hoodie – it is not clear in the video that he is the person who shouted the slur, but Kelce seems to believe he is the perpetrator – who followed him and filmed with a phone. A second video It can clearly be seen that Kelce then takes a cell phone from that person, pins it on the asphalt, then picks it up and runs away with it.

The new video obtained by TMZ heads out there with the fan who follows Kelce to get his phone. You can clearly hear him say, “Give me my phone Kelce,” as he appears to push him from behind, causing him to lose his balance.

Kelce shows up and repeatedly asks the Penn State fan, “Who’s the (gay slur) now?” Someone comes in to separate them and tells the fan, “Get the (expletive) out of here,” as Kelce continues. The fan appears to grab his phone and follows Kelce.

Many comments on social media supported Kelce’s response. Others suggested Kelce was wrong and should have just kept walking.

It’ll be interesting to see what Jason has to say about this, as he’ll definitely be asked about it the next time he stands in front of a microphone. It will also be interesting to see what Penn State has to say about the harassment Kelce suffered, and if the person whose phone was smashed comes forward with anything to say about the altercation.
