Jason Kelce<\/a>\u00a0has apologized after\u00a0slamming the cell phone<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of a fan who directed a homophobic slur at his brother,\u00a0Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>, this past weekend.<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce addressed the situation on ESPN as part of the network’s coverage of “Monday Night Football” between the Kansas City Chiefs and\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Kelce said regarding the incident:<\/p>\n

“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that is a productive thing. I really don’t. I don’t think that it leads to discourse and is the right way to go about things.<\/p>\n

“In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. So I think, the bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule. That’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I’m going to keep doing that moving forward.<\/p>\n

“I feel short this week, but I’m going to do that moving forward and continue to do that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kelce became a household name in\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0circles during his highly-successful career playing center for the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. But his popularity reached a higher scale following the Amazon documentary that chronicled his second-to-last season with the Eagles. The documentary centered around Kelce’s life as a family man trying to decide whether or not to continue playing beyond the 2022 season. The documentary also touched on Kelce’s budding career in broadcasting.<\/p>\n

Kelce ended up playing one more season before calling it a career after the 2023 season. In 13 years with the Eagles, Kelce was named to the Pro Bowl seven times and was a six-time All-Pro. He played an integral role in the Eagles’ 2017 Super Bowl-winning season.<\/p>\n
