Jason Kelce I lost it to a person in Pennsylvania… grabbing someone’s phone and throwing it on the ground before storming off – right after someone in the crowd called Travis a gay slur.
The former NFL star turned commentator was in Happy Valley for the Ohio State-Penn State game Saturday morning, and a crowd began following the star…cheering him on and asking for fist bumps at first.
I like this.
Jason Kelce just took a stand for normal men against the “idiots who have become way too comfortable saying ridiculous shit to people who can actually kick their ass” crowd.

But it didn’t stay positive for long… because a troll decided to blast Jason’s brother, Travis, using a slur. You can listen to the video for yourself: it’s an aggressive attack on the closer and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
At this point, Kelce turns around and faces a person before grabbing the phone and throwing it to the ground. You can’t see the phone after he throws it… but the sound it makes when it hits the ground screams “broken.”

Of note…no video has yet surfaced showing the person shouting the insult – so, it’s unclear if Jason threw the right person’s phone. Another angle appears to show the man yelling at Jason just before Kelce takes his phone and smashes it, but it’s unclear if he also yelled the insult.
Jason usually has some pretty awesome interactions with fans… but this one definitely made him angry. We’ve reached out to Jason and ESPN, the company Jason works for, about the video – so far, no response.
