Travis Kelce knows all too well how his brother Jason Kelce is feeling.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end comforted the ESPN correspondent during their Nov. 6 New Heights podcast episode after Jason made headlines for an altercation with a heckler.
“I know it’s weighing on you, brother,” Travis told Jason. “That s--t sucks. You shouldn’t feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and everybody passing around the videos that are out there. That’s gonna make it a bigger situation than what it really is.”
And for those wondering exactly what went down, Travis clarified, noting, “The real situation is you had some f--king 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.”
However, the Grotesquerie star is viewing the ordeal as a teachable moment.
“That’s a situation you just gotta kind of learn from and own,” he said. “And I think you owning it and speaking it, shows how sincere you are to a lot of people in this world.”
The situation in question happened Nov. 2 outside of Beaver Stadium at Penn State University, when a man approached Jason with his phone up and asked, "Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a [homophobic slur] for dating Taylor Swift?"
The ESPN NFL analyst then turned around and responded, "Who's the [homophobic slur] now?" before smashing the man's phone.
"I'm not happy about the situation, me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety," Jason said on New Heights. "That's what I regret. It didn't deserve attention, it's really stupid."
The 36-year-old continued saying that the "thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you. The word he used it's just f--king ridiculous, and it takes it to another level. It's just off the wall, f--king over the line."
At the end of the day, Jason admitted, the man got under his skin. “What I do regret,” he noted, “is now there's a video that is very hateful, that is now online that has been seen by millions of people and I share fault in perpetuating it and having that out there."
However, Travis made his stance clear, concluding, “I love you, brother. I think you said that perfectly.”
