Jason Kelce has defended his brother Travis Kelce by slamming a fan’s phone to the ground after they used a homophobic slur.
For those of you who have been living under a rock, NFL star Travis Kelce is dating music superstar Taylor Swift.
The pair first met at one of Taylor’s Eras Tour shows where Travis gave her a friendship bracelet.
And in a story that defines “shoot your shot”, she later got in touch with Travis and the two now seem head over heels for each other.
But for some reason, some people don’t like Taylor – and while it’s perfectly acceptable not to like her music, some launch personal attacks on the star for what is often not a valid reason.
One such hater appeared to push Jason Kelce’s buttons too far this week, as the sportsman confronted a stranger who shouted abuse about his brother at him in the street.
Travis and his brother Jason, who also played in the NFL, are clearly very close and host a podcast together, titled New Heights.
On Saturday, Jason was seen mingling with fans and carrying a case of beer at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium, where crowds cheered at the sight of the NFL retiree.
However, the lively atmosphere soured when one fan’s homophobic comment cut through the noise.
“Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a f***** for dating Taylor Swift?” the fan reportedly shouted.
Jason stopped in his tracks, stunned, and quickly located the source of the slur. In an apparent reaction to the insult, he grabbed the fan’s phone and smashed it to the ground.
Fans looked on in shock as Jason walked away from the scene, visibly frustrated.
Footage of the incident, captured from multiple angles, shows the fan demanding the return of his phone.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Jason can be heard responding: “Who’s the f***** now?”
The former NFL star is yet to address the incident.
Earlier that day, Jason joined Pat McAfee on the “College GameDay” set for a lighthearted field goal challenge.
Wearing Timberland boots, Kelce attempted two field goals but missed both, sending them wide left.
For what it’s worth, Travis and Taylor seem very happy together and their net worth is ridiculously high, so perhaps these attacks stem from jealousy.
Either way, don’t mess with Jason Kelce.
