Nothing that happened makes me pleased; I am not proud of it. \u201cA hot moment to greet hate with hate and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a healthy thing, I honestly don\u2019t. It\u2019s not the correct approach to approach things, in my opinion. I dropped to a level inappropriate for me.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u2018I aim to live my life with the golden rule, treat people with common decency and going to try to keep doing that moving ahead.\u2019 Following insistence he did nothing wrong, some users hurried to social media to defend Kelce, who responded to a fan calling his brother Travis a \u201cf*****\u201d by slamming his phone to the ground.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-video\">\n<figure class=\"pk-lightbox-container aligncenter pk-pin-it-container\" data-pk-uuid=\"fx79szrdv\"><a class=\"pk-image-popup pk-zoom-icon-popup\" href=\"https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FYHNTGH.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2746 pk-pin-it-ready\" src=\"https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FYHNTGH.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FYHNTGH.jpg 719w, https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FYHNTGH-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FYHNTGH-380x267.jpg 380w\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"505\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7858886498095708\" data-ad-slot=\"7301131940\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"filled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_6_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>One said: \u2018Jason Kelce ought not to have to pay apologies for defending his brother. Loving you\u2019. Another posted: \u2018F*** ESPN for Jason Kelce\u2019s on-air apologies. That dude did not do a damned thing wrong. A third put: \u2018Jason Kelce shouldn\u2019t be apologising! An a**hole uttered some rude things, and at the moment you behaved how you thought appropriate! Don\u2019t bend the knee and apologies!<\/p>\n<p>After Jason Kelce crushed a fan\u2019s phone to the floor for disparaging his brother\u2019s relationship with the singer, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have banded behind him. When the fan captured himself yelling, \u201cHey Kelce!\u201d he shouted a homophobic slur. Your brother seems to be a f****t for dating Taylor Swift. Visiting Penn State on Saturday for a college football game, the older Kelce brother appeared on ESPN\u2019s \u201cCollege GameDay\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>Turning 37 on Tuesday, Kelce seized the phone from the fan, slammed it on the ground, and yelled: \u201cWho\u2019s the f****t now?\u201d Then he picked the phone back up and strolled off carrying an open drink in another hand. Videos of the incident went viral right away on social media. Given Jason is among the friendliest men on the planet, a source close to the pair told DailyMail.com: \u201cTaylor and Travis were both quite startled by this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was abundantly evident how much he loves and respects Taylor. To him, Travis meant the world. He neither nor anyone find the word f****t to be appropriate. This fan exceeded the line. Jason sees Taylor as family now; he will never stand for someone disparaging his family. Regarding his own usage of the word \u201cf****t\u201d in reprisals to the fan, Jason Kelce has not yet spoken.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, the sportsman has, nevertheless, drawn support. Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas penned on X: \u2018I shouldn\u2019t say, but whatever. I value Jason Kelce\u2019s defending of his family. Jason is scheduled to make his next public appearance on Monday night as he travels to Kansas City to call Travis in NFL action for the Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers for ESPN.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pk-clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pk-share-buttons-wrap pk-share-buttons-layout-default pk-share-buttons-scheme-bold-bg pk-share-buttons-has-counts pk-share-buttons-has-total-counts pk-share-buttons-after-content pk-share-buttons-mode-php pk-share-buttons-mode-rest\" data-post-id=\"2801\" data-share-url=\"https:\/\/blueneolines.com\/jason-kelce-apologizes-for-phone-smash-live-on-espn\/\">\n<div class=\"pk-share-buttons-total pk-share-buttons-total-no-count\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Fans are not happy that Jason Kelce apologized on-air for shattering a fan\u2019s phone over the weekend at the beginning of ESPN\u2019s Monday Night Football show. \u2018Everybody has &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13307"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13309,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13307\/revisions\/13309"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
