Jemele Hill has picked a side following Jason Kelce’s surprising altercation with a Penn State fan on Saturday.
Kelce left the student needing a new phone after smashing it in retaliation for calling his brother, Travis Kelce, a homophobic slur.
The former Eagles star expressed regret over the incident on ‘Monday Night Countdown’ this week, claiming he was not proud and will do better moving forward.
“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it,” he said. “And 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 leads to discourse, and [don’t think] it’s the right way to go about things.
“In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. So I think bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule. It’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with common decency and respect, even though I fell short this week. I’m going to do that moving forward and continue to do that.”
Jemele Hill Doesn’t Think Jason Kelce Had Anything To Apologize For
Jemle Hill didn’t think Kelce needed to apologize.
“He had nothing to apologize for,” she wrote on X, though he didn’t, technically.
Of course, Kelce has recognized he didn’t handle things in the best way and is looking to put it behind him.
Given that the confrontation had already happened in the heat of the moment, showing accountability was the next best thing, and he has been applauded for it.
Meanwhile, ESPN has opted not to dish out any punishment over the incident, however, it is being investigated by University Police and Public Safety (UPPS).
