Jason Kelce slammed a Penn State football fan’s phone on the ground after taunts and a homophobic slur were said toward him on Saturday ahead of the Nittany Lions’ matchup against Ohio State at Beaver Stadium.
While walking behind Jason, a fan can be heard saying: “Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a fa— for dating Taylor Swift?”
After appearing to hear the question, Jason turned around and appeared to take the phone of the fan who said the slur and throw it on the ground.
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, started dating pop sensation Taylor Swift after admitting on his podcast, “New Heights,” in the summer of 2023 that he wanted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at her Kansas City concert then. Swift has attended many NFL games since — including the 2024 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs won — with 72.5 percent of NFL players polled by The Athletic saying the singer’s interest in football is positive for the league. (Only 4.9 percent of players polled viewed it as a negative, and 22.5 percent viewed it as neither negative nor positive.)
Jason, the former Philadelphia Eagles center and Super Bowl champion, was in State College to appear on “College GameDay,” which was also in town to highlight the top-5 matchup.
