Philly Host Calls Out Jason Kelce For Breaking Fan’s Phone
A Philadelphia host has weighed in on the Jason Kelce phone-smashing incident, suggesting heightened security could resolve any future issues.
Jason Kelce, the retired offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, recently found himself at the center of controversy after reacting to a fan’s homophobic slur about his brother, Travis Kelce, and Travis’s high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
The incident, which took place Saturday at Penn State where Jason was a guest analyst for ESPN’s "College GameDay," has drawn a mix of reactions, with many fans supporting Jason for standing up against the offensive remark, while others questioned whether the response was too extreme.
A Philadelphia-based podcast and YouTube host has now weighed in, suggesting that Jason Kelce might benefit from having higher security during such public appearances to prevent incidents from escalating.

I love this.
Jason Kelce just took a stand for normal men against the “idiots who have become way too comfortable saying ridiculous shit to people who can actually kick their ass” crowd.

In a video that quickly spread across social media, a fan can be heard shouting, “Hey Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a f-ggot for dating Taylor Swift?” The derogatory comment visibly angered Jason, who stopped, confronted the fan, and, in a heated response, took the fan’s phone and smashed it to the ground.
"Who's the f-ggot now?" Jason was heard yelling at the individual.

The Philadelphia-based podcast argued that while Jason’s reaction may have been understandable given the nature of the comment, having security could help him navigate tense situations with fans and avoid altercations.
“Kelce has to realize that his profile is bigger than it ever was as a player,” Marks, a former sports radio host, wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “He’s making big $$$ across [multiple] platforms and his brother might marry the biggest pop star ever. He can’t be spiking people’s phones. He needs security to deal with this sh-t.”
