According to sources, Jason Kelce\u2019s ESPN superiors decided not to discipline the former Eagles player for angrily confronting a fan by smashing a phone to the ground. On Saturday, Kelce swiftly became well-known after heading to Penn State University to cover the College GameDay show on TV. One man called his brother Travis a \u201cf****t\u201d for dating Taylor Swift, which infuriated Kelce grabbing his phone as he was passing through a throng of people.<\/p>\n

Leading to a police inquiry still under progress, he crushed it to the ground and yelled out at the man, \u201cWho is the f****t now?\u201d Kelce seems to evade internal discipline at ESPN, though, according to Front Office Sports, which reports that the network executives are not intending any more action for their newest NFL commentator.<\/p>\n

Following his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, Kelce has been a highly popular addition to Monday Night Football appearing weekly. Kelce apologized live on-air for the episode over the weekend on this week\u2019s MNF show, which split viewers online. Many claimed he shouldn\u2019t have had to say sorry for the interaction with the fan.<\/p>\n

He apologized to viewers at the beginning of the broadcast for \u2018falling short\u2019 of his usual standards of \u2018common decency and respect\u2019. \u2018Everyone has seen on social media what happened this week,\u2019 Kelce added. Listen; nothing that happened makes me pleased. I don\u2019t feel good about it. \u201cIn a flash I decided to welcome hatred with hate and I simply don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good thing\u2014that\u2019s truly not. It\u2019s the correct approach to approach things and I doubt it sparks conversation. In that instant I dropped to a level I shouldn\u2019t have been at.<\/p>\n

\u2018The bottom line is, that\u2019s what I\u2019ve always been taught; I try to treat people with common decency and respect; I\u2019m going to keep doing that moving ahead. I try to live my life by the golden rule. \u2018Even if I fell short this week, I\u2019m going to do that moving ahead and keep doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before the Chiefs vs. Buccaneers, several social media users\u2014including Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports\u2014were left enraged with his apologies; some even attacked ESPN and claimed the network had facilitated it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On X, Portnoy said: \u201cThe only thing Kelce should have apologized for is maybe saying the F word. But everyone with a brain understands he was merely echoing what he had heard. Should he refer to him as a p***y, b***h, a**hole that would have been the term employed. Perfect use of golden rule was made. He handled the man precisely as he deserved to be treated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
