NFL fans see no reason for Jason Kelce to apologize for the incident involving destroying his phone

An apology from Jason Kelce was not necessary, seemed to be the overwhelming opinion of football fans online on Monday.

Kelce expressed remorse Monday night at the start of Monday Night Countdown for the way he responded to a fan who called his brother a homophobic slur over the weekend at Penn State.

The former Eagles player slammed the fan's phone on the ground after the unidentified person yelled, “Hey Kelce, how does it feel that your brother wants to date Taylor Swift?”

But football fans didn't think an apology was necessary and even praised Kelce for not moving on.

“No apology is necessary unless his employer forces it.” Jason Kelce showed more restraint than many of us when someone insulted one of our family members. Much respect to Jason Kelsey,” one fan wrote on X.

“Jason Kelce is a better man than me. If someone spoke angrily about my family member, they wouldn't get an apology. “Very classy of Jason and is the exact example of why he is a role model,” another person wrote.

“I don't think he really needed to apologize for anything, but that was just a thoughtful, heartfelt apology from Jason Kelce,” a third person wrote.

“I will say that once. @JasonKelce has nothing to apologize for at all. It makes me angry that he felt like he had to. Jason, you have united so many people. He has shown that you stand up for your family. And he showed what it means to be a big brother,” another person commented.

While fans didn't seem to think Kelce could have apologized for anything, authorities might have a different opinion.

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 maintained by university police detailed an incident in which an “officer observed a patron damaging personal property” on a street near Beaver Stadium.

In his apology, Kelce said he was “not proud” and “not happy” with what happened during the interaction.
