Jason Kelce appeared to run into some trouble with a college football fan while he was in Happy Valley on Saturday for the Penn State-Ohio State game.
Videos shared on social media and verified by NBC News show Kelce walking outside Penn State’s Beaver Stadium holding a case of beer while he is surrounded by fans.
In the background, a man can be heard shouting at Kelce and then using a homophobic slur to describe his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in reference to Travis Kelce’s relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift.
In the videos, Kelce then appears to turn around, grab the man’s phone, smash it to the ground, pick it up again and walk away.
Another angle appears to show the man chasing after Kelce and asking for his phone back. In this video, Kelce appears to repeat the slur back to the person.
It was not immediately clear if the man whose phone was smashed was the same man who shouted the slur. It was also not clear whether the man was a student at Penn State or Ohio State or if he was just visiting for the game.
ESPN, which is representing Kelce in this matter, declined to comment. Penn State did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether the man is a student there.
Kelce retired from the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of last season and has been appearing as a commentator for ESPN. He was at the game Saturday with the network’s “College GameDay” and participated in a kicking challenge against a Penn State student for the program.
Kelce’s brother, Travis Kelce, and Swift have been in a relationship since last summer, when Travis Kelce showed up to the “Eras Tour” in Kansas City with a friendship bracelet and a dream.
Since then, the couple has frequently been seen supporting each other’s careers, with Swift cheering on the Chiefs at home games and Travis Kelce making appearances at “Eras Tour” shows around the globe.
Jason Kelce and Swift have also become close over the course of her relationship with his brother, hanging out in the box above Arrowhead Stadium during Chiefs games. Kelce and his wife, Kylie, took two of their three daughters to see Swift’s “Eras Tour” in Miami last month.
