November 3rd 2024.
A fan recorded a moment that has now gone viral, showing former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce lashing out at a heckler who used a homophobic slur to describe his brother, Travis Kelce. The incident took place outside Beaver Stadium before a game between Ohio State Buckeyes and Nittany Lions.
In the footage, Jason can be seen walking through a large crowd of fans, most of whom seemed to have good intentions. However, one person can be heard shouting out Jason's name to get his attention before making an offensive comment about his brother's relationship with Taylor Swift.
The heckler shouted, "Hey, Kelce! How does it feel that your brother is a f****t dating Taylor Swift?" Upon realizing what was said, Jason turned around and confronted the person, grabbing their phone and throwing it on the ground.
It is unclear what exactly was said during the confrontation, but the X user who posted the video wrote, "Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce's face for no reason. Wild scene in State College."
More videos of the incident have since surfaced, showing Jason aggressively grabbing the heckler's phone and then appearing to pick it back up and walk off with it. The heckler can be heard saying, "Give me my phone, bro," to which Jason responds, but it is unclear what was said.
The incident has shocked fans, with many torn between the offensive comments made by the heckler and Jason's reaction. Some believe that Jason did the right thing by standing up for his brother, while others think he should have ignored the comment and kept walking.
One fan wrote, "Most celebrities would've just kept walking and not given it this kind of attention. Only a couple hundred people would've heard it out of the millions and millions of people who will now." Another fan commented, "You've gotta be an idiot to think you can take on pro athletes, especially football players."
Many fans also praised Jason for being a caring big brother and for his quick reflexes and strength. The heckler's comments were regarding Travis's more than year-long romance with Taylor Swift. The couple has been dating for over a year and are often seen supporting each other at games and concerts.
In an interview with Time magazine, Taylor revealed that their relationship started after Travis "adorably put me on blast on his podcast." She also mentioned that they were together for a significant amount of time before they were seen at a game, and that it was not their first date as some people assumed.
Since then, their relationship has only grown stronger, with Taylor even bringing Travis on stage during her Eras Tour show in London. Metro has reached out to Jason's representatives for comment on the incident.
