When Jason Kelce slammed a fan’s phone to the ground outside Beaver Stadium last month, Penn State launched an investigation. We’ve concluded that investigation.
The investigation into the Nov. 2 incident involving Kelce is concluded, Penn State University Police and Public Safety verified to several media sites on Tuesday.
A Penn State police official told The New York Times that the person in the social media-circulating video football has not been recognized, and no one has reported the incident to University Police about personal property damage.
The event happened prior to Penn State’s highly anticipated matchup with Ohio State. Outside Beaver Stadium, Kelce received taunts and gay comments. The current ESPN analyst and former Philadelphia Eagles player made an appearance before to the game on College GameDay.
Social media videos showed a fan strolling behind Kelce while sporting a Penn State hoodie.
Kelce, hello! How does your brother’s relationship with Taylor Swift make you feel?
Travis, Kelce’s brother, plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and is in a relationship with the famous singer. After turning around, Kelce picked up the fan’s phone and tossed it to the floor. Then he grabbed the phone and carried it with him as he walked. The fan was seen chasing Kelce and requesting the return of his phone in another social media video. “Who’s the (expletive) now?” Kelce retorted.
A few days later, Kelce spoke about the argument on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, expressing his displeasure with the state of affairs.
I decided to respond to hatred with hate during a heated moment, and I don’t think that’s a good idea. “I don’t,” Kelce remarked. I don’t believe it’s the best course of action or that it sparks conversation. I dropped to a level I shouldn’t have at that precise moment.
When asked about the frustrations of the fans after the Nittany Lions’ ultimate defeat by Ohio State, Penn State coach James Franklin later offered his thoughts on the matter.
Franklin remarked, “I noticed something with Jason Kelce.” State College was hosting Jason Kelce. I wanted the experience to be fantastic for him. I never had the opportunity to see or meet him. I was not particularly proud of what I observed. I hope that doesn’t occur.
According to Penn State police’s daily crime record, an officer saw a visitor causing damage to personal property at an intersection near Beaver Stadium, prompting the opening of an inquiry by Penn State University Police and Public Safety.
