Jason and Travis Kelce discuss the phone throwing incident at Penn State

In the latest episode of New heightsFormer Eagles center Jason Kelce said he regrets contact Saturday with a Penn State fan who made a homophobic slur toward his brother Travis.

“I’m not happy with the situation,” Kelce said on the podcast. “My reaction gave him information and also made the situation better known. That’s what I regret. It doesn’t deserve any attention. It’s really stupid and if I just move on it’s a nothing burger. Nobody sees it.”

In the video, Kelce can be seen grabbing the fan’s phone and seemingly smashing it. He then responds by accusing the fan of the same homophobic slur that Kelce decried on Wednesday’s show.

“Now it’s out there and it’s just fueling more hate,” Kelce said. “The thing I regret most is saying that word, to be honest. The word he used is simple [expletive] ridiculous. It takes it to another level. It’s right on the wall, [expletive] over the line. As a person, it got under my skin. And it caused a reaction. And in the heat of the moment, in my head I thought, ‘Hey, what can I say back to him?’ I’m going to throw this [expletive] right back in the face because [expletive] him.’

“Now I know I shouldn’t have done that because now there’s a video of me saying that word, him saying that word, and it’s not good for anyone. I think what I really regret is that there is now a very hateful video that is now online and has been seen by millions of people, and I share the blame for it being perpetuated and spread.”

“But the real situation is that you had some [expletive] When the clown comes up to you and talks about your family, respond in a way that defends your family.
