Jason Kelce was wrong when he angrily smashed a supporter’s phone after they called his brother Travis a ‘f*****’ for dating Taylor Swift.
That’s according to a Philadelphia radio host, who urged the former NFL star to beef up his security after the shocking incident earlier this weekend.
Older brother Kelce – now an analyst for ESPN – was at Penn State on Saturday for the Nittany Lions’ big football game against Ohio State.
Footage that has flooded social media shows him reacting after a fan shouted: ‘Hey Kelce! How do you feel about your brother being in love with dating Taylor Swift?”
Kelce could be seen grabbing the man’s phone before angrily throwing it to the ground.

Travis and Swift have both rallied behind the former NFL star, while many fans have praised Jason for standing up for his brother.
But PHLY Sports’ Jon Marks insisted: “He can’t spy on people’s phones.”
Marks posted on social media: “Kelce needs to realize his profile is bigger than ever as a player.
‘He makes a lot of money on multiple platforms and his brother could be marrying the biggest pop star ever. He can’t tap people’s phones. He needs security to deal with this s***
Kelce was walking through a crowd outside the stadium – with a case of beer in his hands – when the fan challenged him.
The 36-year-old appeared on ESPN’s College GameDay, where many fans asked for selfies and fist bumps.

But after the man uttered the vile slur about his younger brother, Kelce reacted angrily and could even be heard shouting, “Who the hell is now?”
A source close to Travis and Taylor told DailyMail.com that they were both “very shocked by this as Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world.
“It really became clear how much he loves and respects Taylor. Travis means everything to him.
“Using the word f****t is not okay for him or anyone else. This fan has crossed the line. Jason will never stand up for anyone who insults his family and he now considers Taylor family.”
Jason has not yet commented on his own use of the word “f****t” in retaliation against the fan.
