What Happened Between Jason Kelce and Helcker That Led Travis Kelce’s Brother to Apologize? Explained
Jason Kelce has issued an apology for repeating an anti-gay slur aimed at his brother Travis by a random heckler on the street.
Jason Kelce recently became a media spectacle as a heckler incident involving a football game and his brother, Travis Kelce, took the internet by storm. He has issued an apology for repeating the same slur hurled at him and his brother, Travis Kelce.
Jason was at the Ohio State-Penn State match at Beaver Stadium in State College Pennsylvania and during this match, a man was hurling anti-gay slurs regarding Travis and his pop-star girlfriend Taylor Swift which provoked Jason. The heckler had called Travis a "f**got" for dating the pop sensation and shoved him to the ground, as can be seen in a widely circulated video on social media.
The heckler's offensive remarks made a furious Jason retaliate by slamming the heckler’s phone and using the same insult directed at his brother. This event garnered a lot of attention on online platforms, prompting Jason to respond to it and ensure that he would clarify the situation in one of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown segments.
The New Heights podcast host said, "Everybody has seen what happened. I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing, I really don’t. I don’t think it leads to discourse and it’s [not] the right way to go about things."
In the rush of events, Jason was able to say that he did not react well and that he did not meet the standards set by himself and those that he would like to emulate. He reaffirmed the importance of the golden rule, which is to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and said he would do better in the future.
Since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift started their romantic affair in September 2022, the two have been in the public eye as they have been attending numerous events together, including football matches.
Jason Kelce concluded his reflection by saying, "I think the bottom line is I try to live my life by the golden rule; it’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I’m gonna keep doing that moving forward even though I fell short this week."
