Football Star Jason Kelce Apologizes for Confronting Fan's Homophobic Slur

Philadelphia, USAWed Nov 06 2024
Jason Kelce, a former NFL star, has recently apologized for his actions towards a fan. The incident happened during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A fan directed a homophobic slur at Jason's brother, Travis Kelce, who is a tight end for the Chiefs. In response, Jason slammed the fan's cell phone. Jason addressed the situation on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" coverage. He expressed his regret, saying he should not have responded with hate. "In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, " he admitted. Jason believes this approach doesn't lead to productive discussions and isn't the right way to handle such situations. Jason is known for his successful career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He gained even more popularity after an Amazon documentary showcased his life and career decisions. The documentary also highlighted his new role in broadcasting. After 13 years with the Eagles, Jason retired and now works as a broadcaster for ESPN. He also co-hosts a podcast with his brother Travis.
