The NFL Kelce brothers are known for their New Heights podcast, and on the most recent episode the former Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis, addressed the heckler situation that went viral.

The kid following and berating Jason Kelce deserved to have his phone smashed.
He went looking for trouble and intentionally wanted to illicit a reaction. F that guy!

While Jason once again expressed regret over his actions, Travis stuck up for his older brother.
As could be heard in the video, the antagonizer could be heard saying, "Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?"
Jason then returned some homophobic language in addition to throwing the guys phone on the ground.

"I know it's weighing on you brother, that s*** sucks," Travis said. "You shouldn't feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and everybody passing around the videos that are being out there."
He continued, "That's gonna make it a bigger situation than, I think, what it really is. But, the real situation is you had some f***ing clown come up to you and talk about your family and you reacted in a way that was defending your family. And, you might have used some words that you regret using. And, that's a situation that where you just kinda have to learn from and own."
All in all, it appears many have sympathized with Jason, for having to deal with all the haters. At the same time, he could have had a lot better self-control.
While personally, I didn't think Jason Kelce needed to apologize... this was a powerful way to address it, "chose to greet hate with hate. (And that was wrong)"
We are all human and will always protect our families

Jason clarified he has more regret over using the homophobic slur, than he did for smashing someone else's property.
He said, he wanted to "throw that s*** right back in his face because f*** him."
So it appears he isn't as much sorry to the heckler as he is for offending people with his language.
Ultimately, the Kelce brothers will always have each other's backs.
