Jason Kelce reflects on regretful Heckler outburst


Jason Kelce’s outburst at a heckler during the Penn State-Ohio State game on Saturday, who used a homophobic slur against his brother Travis , highlights the Eagles veteran's protective side. Reflecting on the viral incident from November 2, Jason expressed his dissatisfaction with how things escalated.


“Me reacting gave him the time of day, and it also gave the situation notoriety. Now, it’s out there and just perpetuates more hate," said the former NFL center in the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast.


Reports say the incident occurred after a fan mocked Jason about his brother, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift , and made a homophobic remark. Jason, losing his composure, smashed the fan's phone and fired back with the same slur, a moment he deeply regrets.


"The thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you, and the word he used is just f—ing ridiculous. It’s dehumanizing and it got under my skin and it elicited a reaction,” Jason confessed. (via: Sportskeeda)


Travis Kelce, co-hosting the "New Heights" podcast with Jason, valued his older brother's honesty.

Recognizing Jason Kelce's anger towards the fan who used a homophobic slur, the Kansas City Chiefs TE believes the retired Eagles center was simply being protective of his family.


“The real situation is you had some f—ing clown come up to you and talk about your family and you reacted in a way that was defending your family,” he added consoling Jason.


Travis believes Jason Kelce’s actions were a crucial learning moment, praising his brother for owning up to his mistakes in public—a rare display of integrity. However, the public response has been split. While Travis and Chris Long defended Jason, Philadelphia radio host Jon Marks argued that Jason’s fame now surpasses his playing days, and he may need more security to navigate this new level of attention. One thing remains certain—Jason has his brother's unwavering support.
