Jason Kelce was wrong to angrily smash a supporter’s phone after they called his brother Travis a ‘f*****’ for dating Taylor Swift.
That is according a Philadelphia radio host, who urged the former NFL star to beef up his security after the shocking incident earlier this weekend.
The older Kelce brother – now an analyst for ESPN – was at Penn State on Saturday for the Nittany Lions’ huge football game against Ohio State.
Footage, which has flooded social media, showed him react after a fan shouted: ‘Hey Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a f***** for dating Taylor Swift?’
Kelce could be seen grabbing the man’s phone before furiously throwing it to the floor.

Travis and Swift have both rallied behind the former NFL star, while many fans have praised Jason for sticking up for his brother.
But Jon Marks of PHLY Sports insisted: ‘He can’t be spiking people’s phones’.
Marks posted on social media: ‘Kelce has to realize that his profile is bigger than it ever was as a player.
‘He’s making big $$$ across multiple platforms and his brother might marry the biggest pop star ever. He can’t be spiking people’s phones. He needs security to deal with this s***’
Kelce was walking through a crowd outside the stadium – with a crate of beer in his hands – when the fan taunted him.
The 36-year-old was appearing on ESPN’s College GameDay, with many fans asking for selfies and fist bumps.

But after the man used the vile slur about his younger brother, Kelce reacted angrily and could even be heard shouting: ‘Who’s the f****t now?’.
A source close to Travis and Taylor told DailyMail.com they ‘were both really shocked by this considering Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world.
‘It really became clear how much he loves and respects Taylor. Travis means the world to him.
‘The use of the word f****t is not okay with him nor anyone. This fan crossed the line. Jason will never stand for anyone insulting his family and he views Taylor as family now.’
Jason has not yet commented on his own use of the word ‘f****t’ in retaliation to the fan.
