“I think everyone saw on social media everything that happened this week,” Jason said on ESPN before the game. “Look, I’m not happy with everything that happened. I’m not proud of it. In the heat of the moment, I decided to meet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing to do, I really don’t think so. I don’t think this leads to debate, and that’s the right way to approach things. At that moment I fell to a level I should not have reached.”

“The bottom line is I try to live by the golden rule, that’s what I’ve always been taught,” he said. “I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I will continue to do that moving forward.”

Many fans defended Jason for his response; however, PHLY Sports host John Marks suggested the former athlete had gone too far.

“Kelce needs to realize that his player profile is bigger than ever,” Marks’ post began, along with a video of a fan’s phone being smashed. “He makes a lot of money from different platforms and his brother might be marrying the biggest pop star of all time. He can’t tap people’s phones. He needs security to deal with this shit.”
