No apology necessary from Jason Kelce seemed to be the overwhelming opinion from football fans online on Monday.
Kelce showed remorse at the top of “Monday Night Countdown” on Monday night for the way he reacted to a fan calling his brother a homophobic slur over the weekend at Penn State.
The former Eagles player slammed the fan’s phone to the ground after the unidentified person shouted, “Hey Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f—–t for dating Taylor Swift?”
But football fans didn’t think that an apology was needed and even credited Kelce for not going further.
“No apology necessary unless his employer is forcing it. Jason Kelce showed more restraint than a lot of us would when someone’s calling a family member of ours some derogatory s–t. Much respect to Jason Kelsey,” one fan wrote on X.
“Jason Kelce is a better man than me. If someone was talking mad s–t about my family member, they would not get an apology. Very classy by Jason and is the exact example of why he’s a role model,” another person wrote.
“I don’t think he had anything to apologize for really, but that was a thoughtful, heartfelt apology from Jason Kelce just now,” a third person wrote.
“Gonna say this one time. @JasonKelce has nothing to apologize about at all. It pisses me off that he felt like he needed to. Jason you united so many people. What he did was show you stand up for your family. And he showed what being a great big brother is,” another person commented.
While fans didn’t seem to think Kelce had anything to apologize for, authorities may have a different take.
An investigation into the incident is “ongoing” by Penn State Police and Public Safety, a university spokesperson confirmed to The Post on Monday evening.
A crime log kept by the university’s police department listed an incident where an “officer observed a visitor damaging personal property” on a street near Beaver Stadium.
In his apology, Kelce said that he was “not proud” and “not happy” with what occurred during the interaction.
