“I think everyone has seen what happened on the networks. I chose to respond to hate with hate and that is not a productive thing. I don’t think that’s conducive to dialogue and that’s the right way to approach things. “At that point I fell to a level that I shouldn’t have fallen to,” the former Eagles center said.
Jason, 36, who retired from football last March, spoke during the broadcast prior to the game between the Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that this Monday will close week 9 of the NFL season.
The champion in Super Bowl LII with Philadelphia referred to what he experienced the previous Saturday, when he was on the Penn State campus, in University Park, Pennsylvania, to participate in the broadcast of ESPN of the college football game between Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes.
On his way he was approached by a guy who approached him from behind with the phone raised, to record the scene, and insulted Travis Kelce for his relationship with Taylor Swift.
“Kelce, how do you feel knowing that your brother is a pussy for dating Taylor Swift?“, was what the character shouted at him.
Jason grabbed the guy’s phone and threw it to the ground; The scene was recorded by several fans who gathered for said match and the video immediately became popular on the web; a fact the seven-time Pro Bowler said didn’t make him proud.
Kelce’s apology
“The bottom line is that they have taught me to treat people with decency and respect, something I will continue to do in the future, pBut at that moment I was not up to it. From now on, rest assured that I will do it,” the former player concluded on the matter.
In addition to his participation as a commentator on the ‘Monday Night Countdown’ that precedes the NFL’s Monday night games, Jason Kelce hosts, along with his brother, the popular ‘New Heights’, one of the best sports podcasts for which he and Travis signed a $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery a few months ago.
