Jason Kelce: Ex-NFL star ‘not proud’ after phone altercation


Former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce has said he is “not proud” of throwing a person’s phone to the ground after a homophobic slur was used to refer to his younger brother and NFL star Travis.

Footage on social media shows Jason Kelce walking through a crowd at a stadium in Pennsylvania when someone aims the insult at Travis, who plays for Kansas City Chiefs and is in a relationship with singer Taylor Swift.

Jason Kelce then grabs a person’s phone and throws it to the ground and then appears to repeat the homophobic slur at the person when they ask for their phone back.

“Everybody has seen on social media everything that took place this week,” Jason Kelce told ESPN. “I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it.

“In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing, I really don’t. I don’t think it’s the right way to go about things.

“In that moment I fell down to a level I shouldn’t have. The bottom line is I try to live my life by the golden rule that I’ve always been taught – I try to treat people with common decency and respect.

“I’m going to keep doing that moving forward, even though I fell short this week.”

Jason Kelce is now an analyst with ESPN after retiring in 2024 following 13 seasons with the Eagles.

He and his brother also host a podcast in which they interview celebrity guests and discuss their own lives.
