Pennsylvania State Police say they have closed their investigation into the November incident in which Jason Kelce slammed a heckler's phone to the ground.
Kelce was walking to Beaver Stadium before Penn State's Big Ten game against Ohio State when a fan pestered him about Kelce's brother Travis dating Taylor Swift. He made homophobic remarks.
Kelce identified the fan who was behaving in an unpleasant manner, grabbed the fan's cell phone and slammed it down.
Warning: Explicit language
Pennsylvania State Police launched an investigation after video of the incident went viral.
A Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson said, “The individuals in the video footage circulating on social media have not been identified and no one has filed a related complaint with University Police for damage to personal property.” . he told The Athletic on Tuesday..
Kelce, a former center for the Eagles and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, currently serves as an NFL analyst for ESPN and co-hosts the popular podcast New Heights with his brother. .
In an incident last month, a heckler yelled at Kelsey: “What do you think about your brother being upset that he dated Taylor Swift?”
Kelce responded to a fan by asking, “Who's that guy now?”
A few days after the incident, Kelsey spoke on ESPN's “Monday Night Countdown” and expressed his regret for the incident, although he stopped short of apologizing to the heckler.
“I think everyone saw what happened this week on social media. Listen, I'm not happy with what happened. I'm not bragging. In the moment of excitement, I greet haters with hate. I don't think that's a productive thing to do, really. I don't think it leads to an argument, and I think that's the right way to go about it, but in the moment. I fell to a level I shouldn't have,” Kelce said.
“I think at the end of the day, I try to live my life according to the Golden Rule. That's what I've always been taught. I try to treat people with common sense and respect. And even if we can't do it this week, we'll continue to do it.”
