Former NFL star Jason Kelce was involved in an incident with a fan at Penn State who used a gay slur when talking about his brother, Travis, before Saturday’s game against Ohio State.
Footage of the incident shows Kelce walking amid a crowd of fans when a voice can be heard using the slur while asking about Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift. Jason then grabs the person’s phone and slams it to the ground. (Videos contain offensive language.)
Subsequent videos of the incident appeared to show Kelce picking up the person’s phone after hurling it to the ground:
Kelce announced earlier in the week that he would be attending the Buckeyes-Nittany Lions game at Beaver Stadium. It was his first trip to Happy Valley and was part of an event involving College GameDay.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been dating for more than a year. She has been in attendance at several Kansas City Chiefs games since their relationship started, including Super Bowl 58 in February.
During the offseason, Travis was on stage as part of Swift’s performance during the Eras Tour when it made a stop at Wembley Stadium in London.
Jason announced his retirement from the NFL in March. The 36-year-old played 13 seasons from 2011 to 2023, all with the Philadelphia Eagles.
