Jason Kelce apologized for his role in last weekend’s altercation with a fan before Penn State’s game against Ohio State, but at least one of his former Philadelphia teammates thinks he shouldn’t have .

For those who missed it, Kelce was there on Saturday for ESPN Game Day before the big game. The video showed him walking near Beaver Stadium with a crowd of fans following him. A voice can clearly be heard behind Kelce shouting, “Hey Kelce, how does it feel to know your brother is a (homophobic slur) dating Taylor Swift?” »

Kelce stopped, turned and walked back toward a young man wearing the Penn State hoodie — it’s not clear in the video that he was the one who yelled the slur, but Kelce seemed believe he is the culprit – who was following him and filming with a phone. A second video clearly shows that Kelce then takes a cell phone from this person, places it on the asphalt, then picks it up and walks away with it.

A third video obtained by TMZ shows the fan following Kelce to get his phone back. He can clearly be heard saying, “Give me my phone Kelce,” as he appears to push Kelce from behind, knocking him off his feet.

Kelce appeared and repeatedly asked the Penn State fan, “Who is (the gay slur) now?” Someone moved to separate them and told the fan, “Get the (expletive) out of here,” as Kelce continued.

Former Eagles defensive end Chris Long spoke about the incident during a podcast appearancee recently and he had some interesting things to say.

“I think it’s all about influence in the world now,” he said. “Period. It’s hard, even for a journalist, not to fall into these traps. Everyone is chasing influence. It’s the quickest way to get my five minutes of fame. This guy who s got the phone smacked, if it weren’t for the fact that it seems the entire Internet has turned on this guy… Nowadays, kids who get smacked in the face might say, “Hey, look what I did. Jason Kelce punched me in the face.

“Internet culture has ruined real life and there are too many people who grew up in situations where they were never punched in the face,” he continued. “And I’m not saying it’s a prerequisite for becoming an adult, but I’m pretty sure this guy has never been punched in the face.”

Kelce apologized for his role in the incident before Monday night’s countdown on ESPN.

“I think everyone saw on social media everything that happened this week,” the Philadelphia Eagles legend said. “I just… look, I’m not happy with everything that happened. I’m not proud of it. In a burning moment, I chose to meet hatred with hatred, and I I just don’t think it’s a I really don’t think it leads to the speech and that it’s the right way to go. And, at that point, I fell to a level where I shouldn’t have. .I think ultimately I try to live my life according to the Golden Rule.

“That’s what I was always taught,” he added. “I try to treat people with decency and respect, and I’m going to continue to do that, even if I failed this week, I’m going to continue to do that and continue to do that.”
