Travis Kelce breaks his silence on brother Jason angrily smashing fan’s phone to the ground.
Travis Kelce has labeled the fan whose phone was smashed by brother Jason a ‘f***ing clown’ as they addressed the incident on New Heights.
Jason Kelce quickly went viral on Saturday when he traveled to Penn State University to appear on ESPN’s College GameDay program.
He was later walking through a crowd of people when one man called Travis a ‘f****t’ for dating Taylor Swift, leading to an angry Kelce grabbing his phone.
He smashed it to the ground and shouted back at the man, ‘Who is the f****t now?’, leading to a police investigation which is still ongoing.
It appears, though, that Kelce will avoid internal punishment at ESPN. with Front Office Sports reporting on Tuesday night that the network’s bosses are not planning any further action for their newest NFL analyst.

After addressing the incident for the first time on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Jason offered a longer statement on this week’s episode of New Heights.
He said: ‘I’m going to address it because I feel it needs one more time and then hopefully we can stop talking about this really stupid situation that occurred.
‘I’m not happy about the situation.
Me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave this situation notoriety, which I regret.
‘It didn’t deserve attention.
It’s really stupid and if I just keep walking it’s a f***ing nothing burger.
Nobody sees it.
Now, it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate.
‘The thing that I regret the most is saying that word to be honest with you.
The word he used is just f***ing ridiculous and takes it to another level.
It’s just off the wall and f***ing over the line.
It’s dehumanizing and got under my skin.
‘It elicited a reaction and in the heat of the moment I thought in my head “hey, what can I say back to him.
I’m going to throw this s*** right back in his face because f*** him.
‘I know now I shouldn’t have done that because there’s now a video out there of me saying that word.
him saying that word and it’s not good for anybody.
‘I think what I do regret is there’s now a video that is very hateful that is now online and has been seen by millions of people .
and I share fault in perpetuating it and having that out there.’

Travis then weighed in with his own thoughts and backed up his brother while hitting out at the fan.
The Kansas City Chiefs star said: ‘I know it’s weighing on you brother.
It sucks.
You shouldn’t feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and people passing around the videos that are out there.
‘That’s going to make it a bigger situation than, I think, what it really is.
‘The real situation is that you had some f***ing clown come up to you and talk about your family.
You reacted in a way that was defending your family and you might have used some words that you regret using.
‘That’s a situation you’ve just got to learn from and own and I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to people in this world and shows what you said on Monday night.
‘You don’t choose hate.
That’s just not who you are.
I love you brother. I think you said that perfectly.’
On this week’s MNF show, Kelce offered a live on-air apology for the incident over the weekend, which split fans online, with many claiming he shouldn’t have had to say sorry for the interaction with the fan.
At the start of the broadcast, he apologized to viewers for ‘falling short’ of his usual levels of ‘common decency and respect’.

‘I think everybody has seen on social media what happened this week,’ Kelce said.
‘Listen, I’m not happy with anything that took place.
I’m not proud of it.
‘In a heated moment I chose to greet hate with hate and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing, I really don’t.
I don’t think it leads to discourse and it’s the right way to go about things.
In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have.
‘The bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule, that’s what I’ve always been taught.
I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I’m gonna keep doing that moving forward.
‘Even though I fell short this week, I’m gonna do that moving forward and continue to do that.’
Several social media users, including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, were left furious at his apology before the Chiefs vs Bucs game.
with some hitting out at ESPN and accusing the network of making it happen.
Portnoy said on X: ‘The only thing Kelce should have apologized for is maybe using the F word.
But anybody with a brain knows he was just repeating what was said to him.
If he called him a p***y, b***h, a**hole that woulda been the word he used. Golden rule was applied perfectly.
He treated that guy exactly how he deserved to be treated.’
