Former NFL player and ESPN host\u00a0Jason Kelce<\/a>\u00a0broke his silence about a recent incident involving a heckler at Pennsylvania State University \u2014 and said that he wasn\u2019t happy with any of what had happened.<\/p>\n During the pregame show of\u00a0ESPN\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0coverage of the Monday Night Football Game, Kelce talked about the video on social media \u2014 which showed a\u00a0heckler calling his brother\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0a \u201cf****t,\u201d after which Kelce threw the person\u2019s phone to the ground and the heckler shoved him down.<\/p>\n \u201cListen, I\u2019m not happy with anything that took place,\u201d Kelce said on the show. \u201cI\u2019m not proud of it. And\u00a0in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate. And I just don\u2019t think that that\u2019s a productive thing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI really don\u2019t,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t think that it leads to discourse and it\u2019s the right way to go about things. In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn\u2019t have. So, bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve always been taught \u2026 even though I fell short this week.\u201d<\/p>\n Jason Kelce addressed the Penn State phone-smashing incident at the start of ESPN’s pregame show tonight and apologized:<\/p>\n “In a heated moment, I decided to greet hate with hate. … I fell short this week” pic.twitter.com\/884LtqvFzX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) November 4, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
