A new video obtained by TMZ Saturday shows a fan in a Penn State hoodie shoving Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce from behind, causing him to fall, prior to Saturday’s game against Ohio State.
Previous video showed Kelce, who was on hand to take part in ESPN’s College Gameday, walking through a crowd by Beaver Stadium. Someone behind him yelled, “Hey Kelce, how does it feel knowing your brother is a (homophobic slur) dating Taylor Swift?”
Kelce stopped, turned and went back to the young man in the Penn State hoodie — it is not clear in the video that he is the person who yelled the slur but Kelce seems to believe he is the culprit — who was following him and filming with a phone. A second video clearly shows Kelce then taking a cell phone from that person, spiking it on the asphalt, and then picking it up and walking away with it.
The new video obtained by TMZ picks up there with the fan following after Kelce to get his phone. He can clearly be heard saying, ‘Give me my phone Kelce,” as he appears to shove him from behind, causing him to lose his footing.

Kelce pops up and repeatedly asks the Penn State fan, “Who is the (gay slur) now?” Someone moves in to separate them and tells the fan, “Get the (expletive) out of here,” as Kelce continues on. The fan appears to pick up his phone and continues on behind Kelce.
Many of the comments on social media were supportive of Kelce’s response. Others suggested Kelce was in the wrong and should have just kept walking.
It will be interesting to see what Jason has to say about all of this because he will surely be asked about it the next time he is in front of a microphone. It will also be interesting to see what Penn State has to say about the harassment Kelce endured, and if the person whose phone was smashed comes forward with anything to say about the altercation.
