Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce was off to Penn State for the first time to watch State College football. However, that experience may not have gone too well for the former Eagles’ center. While he was walking through the crowd, Penn State fans were surprised to catch a glimpse of Kelce. But one of them appeared to have got in the face of Kelce while throwing an offensive slur about his brother and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?” Well, that vile comment may not have gone down too well in Kelce’s ears. As he quickly turned around and grabbed that person’s phone while throwing it to the concrete floor. And after that incident, Kelce continued to walk forward while some were still processing the incident.
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Jason Kelce proceeded to slam this kids phone on the ground.

Such a reaction from Kelce isn’t surprising as he remains the No.1 supporter of his brother’s relationship with Taylor Swift. Going back to the start of this season, when Kelce was going through a slow start. Fans were quick to criticize his burgeoning relationship with Swift for Kelce’s lack of output on the field. Jumping into his defense, Jason expressed, “Football has always been the most important thing in Trav’s life. He has always lived his life to the fullest. He has enjoyed his off-seasons very much even before Taylor Swift and everything else that was going on our lives.”
While defending his brother from criticism, the 36-year-old reiterated Travis Kelce’s priority, “He is always going to find a way to make football the number one priority.” Although Jason has been a staunch supporter of Kelce and Swift, his reaction to fans’ offensive slur may have come for a different reason.
Well, Jason found himself humiliated taking part in Pat McAfee’s famous kicking contest at Penn State.

Jason Kelce left red-faced after his controversial comments on NFL kickers
What’s your perspective on:
Does Jason Kelce's reaction reflect a broader issue of disrespect in sports culture?
Have an interesting take?
Kelce was given a rude awakening for the comments he made on NFL kickers, “We need to narrow these field goal posts. It’s too easy to kick field goals now. We gotta go to rugby goalposts. Kickers should not be influencing football games as much as they are right now. We need to make kickers way less valuable. That is not what football is about. We need to get specialists out of the NFL.” Hearing those comments, former Colts punter Pat McAfee invited him to a $100,000 kicking contest.
But wearing his Timberland boots, Kelce’s brother punted his effort wide of the posts. He even received a second opportunity to clear his stance on NFL kickers. Even this time, Jason didn’t manage to score the field goal. This eventually led to the 36-year-old confessing, “I suck at kicking.” Although he could blame his boots for the lack of accuracy shown when kicking the football. Seeing his skills, we now understand why Kelce played center throughout his NFL career.
