Jason Kelce throws phone about Penn State F-Slur incident

Jason Kelce throws phone about Penn State F-Slur incident

New Orleans Saints vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Talk about an offensive line, man. He was there for ESPN’s College GameDay, but Jason Kelce wasn’t playing games when he was harassed during a Saturday visit to Penn State University. In now viral imagesthe retired Philadelphia Eagles football player picked up a phone and threw it on the ground after someone called his brother Travis, the f-slam for dating taylor swift. Using a homophobic slur is bad enough, and using it to describe a man dating a woman is just plain weird. The video doesn’t clearly show the person shouting the slur, but Kelce seemed to believe the perpetrator was someone wearing a Penn State hoodie who was filming him. Because he didn’t let the comment pass, Kelce initially received a lot of praise online, including from fans of his possible future sister-in-law. “He did all that with garage beer in his hand and a friendship bracelet on his wrist, this man needs a medal,” he said. Swiftie tweeted approvingly. But reactions became a little more mixed after that another angle on the incident surfaced, this time showing Kelce saying the slur right back — as the person in a Penn State hoodie tried to retrieve his phone, Kelce appears to ask, “Who is that f—– now?”

Considering that Kelce’s New heights podcast with his brother net scored a $100 million deal in August, we doubt he’d sweat it even if he had to pay for any damage to the device. Campus police told “Page Six” that no report on the incident had been filed as of Saturday afternoon. Honestly, buying a new phone is probably easier than identifying yourself as the internet’s new enemy of the day.
