Before Penn State lost again to Ohio State on Saturday, video came out showing Jason Kelce getting into a kerfuffle with a kid who appeared to be a Penn State student. Kelce smashed his phone on the ground after the guy referred to his brother, Travis Kelce, as a “F@****,” then another piece of video showed Jason repeating the slur while the kid was demanding his phone back. Now a separate angle shows the guy pushing Jason before the final exchange of words:

“Gimme my phone, Kelce.” Then he pushes him while Kelce is bent over and reaching for the phone, resulting in a couple of “who’s the f@**** now?” from Jason in return.

The response throughout Saturday was largely pro-Kelce, probably a conservative estimate of 99.9% of the sporting world taking his side. He didn’t start the interaction, which was trash. It started because the crumb bum kid was following Kelce around, filming him while calling his brother a homophobic slur. So Kelce lost his temper and did some things that, while probably justified, might need cleaning up. ESPN might ask for an apology since Kelce repeated the slur, and who knows if this weasel kid gets a lawyer. Before phones and social media, street justice would have been meted out, in this case meaning the kid probably would have been popped in the mouth and then he learns a lesson and everyone moves on with their lives. That’s not the case now. Every individual can be a paparazzo and say whatever they wanna say with basically no accountability. Kelce is probably gonna have to walk around with security in these kinds of settings from now on.
