'I Fell Short This Week': Jason Kelce Addresses Regrets Over Viral Phone-Smashing Incident And How He's Moving Forward

As a dedicated fan of Jason Kelce and his incredible journey, I must say that this recent incident at Penn State University has left me both disappointed and concerned. It’s disheartening to see such behavior from an individual who clearly lacks basic decency and respect.


Last Saturday, Jason Kelce found himself making news due to an incident that transpired at Penn State University. Kelce was there to feature on ESPN’s College Gameday. Prior to the broadcast, he got into a disagreement with an individual who insulted his brother, Travis, for dating Taylor Swift and used a derogatory term. In response, Jason broke the man’s phone. Footage of the incident quickly spread online, and now, Kelce is expressing remorse and seeking to move past the situation.

Currently, it’s uncertain whether the individual who made the controversial comment is a student, as he was seen wearing a Penn State sweatshirt at the time. The Associated Press has shared that campus police are actively investigating this matter, with potential charges such as criminal mischief and disorderly conduct under consideration for this specific situation. Earlier today, Jason Kelce joined his brother on their latest episode of the New Heights podcast. In this discussion, Jason expressed his thoughts about the incident:

To clarify this one more time since I believe it needs another discussion, let me say that hopefully, we can move past this unnecessary incident. Frankly, I’m not pleased with the situation as my response unfortunately drew attention to it. What I regret most is giving it any significance at all, as it didn’t warrant such attention. In essence, it was a foolish event and if I had ignored it, it would have been insignificant. Now that it has become public knowledge, it only serves to fuel more negativity.

As a gamer, I’d say: When someone goaded me with a hurtful slur during a live stream, I unfortunately retaliated using the same offensive language. Looking back, it’s something I deeply regret and wish I could take back. In my latest podcast episode, I delve deeper into this moment, hoping to learn from it.

The action I deeply regret is my response to his offensive remark. To put it frankly, the word he used was utterly absurd, escalating the situation significantly. It was beyond the pale, crossing an unacceptable line. Moreover, it dehumanized him and provoked me intensely. In that instant, I contemplated a retort in my mind, thinking, ‘I’ll fire this back at him, because I can’t stand him.’ But now, I realize that I should not have reacted that way.

Following Jason Kelce’s statement that his Eagles uniform pants bore no resemblance to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Blake Lively countered with a response.

Ever since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started spending time together, Jason Kelce has experienced various effects from their relationship. Initially, journalists and fans bombarded him with questions about the connection, but he chose to stay vague in his responses. After they made their relationship public, Jason has generally been supportive, even showing up at Swift’s Eras Tour (where it’s rumored he may have dozed off).

Regarding Travis Kelce’s feelings about his brother’s phone-smashing incident, he shows understanding. On the same New Heights episode, Travis admitted that Jason may have chosen words he would later regret, but he acted in defense of his family. As for any potential legal consequences, they are yet to be determined. At this point, however, it appears the Kelce brothers are ready to put the incident behind them and move forward.
