Jason Kelce threw a Penn State fan’s phone to the ground after the fan taunted him and directed a homophobic slur at him on Saturday before the Nittany Lions’ matchup against Ohio State at Beaver Stadium.

Viral clips of the encounter outside of the stadium played out throughout the evening on social media.

While walking behind Jason, a fan can be heard saying: “Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a (slur) for dating Taylor Swift?”

Jason Kelce appeared to grab the phone of the fan who said the slur and throw it on the ground. Then Jason Kelce said to the fan: “Who’s the (slur) now?” The fan was wearing a Penn State hoodie.

The incident took place as Jason Kelce was in attendance at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay, according to People. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13.

Jason Kelce’s brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is dating pop megastar Taylor Swift. Jason Kelce is retired from the Philadelphia Eagles.

To make matters worse, Penn State coach James Franklin appeared to get into a heated exchange with a fan inside the stadium after the loss.

“If you’re gonna be man enough to talk, what’s your name?” Franklin asked the fan. The fan walked away.

Happy Valley was not happy on Saturday.
