Before ESPN's “Monday Night Countdown” continued with its usual breakdown of the upcoming game, Jason Kelce had come forward to address him as he smashed a Penn State fan's phone on Saturday.

The video quickly went viral when Kelce responded to the fan using a homophobic slur to attack his brother Travis Kelce over his relationship with Taylor Swift.

“Hey Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is dating Taylor Swift?” the fan was heard saying in the video.

Kelce then turned to confront the fan and smashed his phone, which appeared to be recording the incident.

“Monday Night Countdown” host Scott Van Pelt opened the show by preparing Kelce's apology Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium before the Chiefs' game against the Buccaneers.

“Listen, I think everyone on social media saw everything that happened this week,” Kelce began. “Look, I’m not happy with anything that happened. I'm not proud of it, and in a heated moment I decided to answer hate with hate, and I just don't think that's a productive thing to do. I really don't think it creates a discourse and that it's the right way to approach things. At that moment I fell into a moment I shouldn't have.

“So, I think the bottom line is that I try to live my life by the golden rule – that's what I've always been taught. I try to treat people with decency and respect, and I will continue to do that.” Moving forward, even though I fell short this week, that's what I will do in the future and will continue to do that.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

Kelce was in University Park, Pennsylvania, to appear on ESPN's “College GameDay” before the Nittany Lions' game against their Big Ten rival Ohio State Buckeyes.

There were several people who pulled out their phones and tried to interact with Kelce, although they were much nicer than the one fan who decided to hurl the homophobic slur at him.

Despite Kelce's actions, many on social media stood up for him. Instead, they found a problem with what the Penn State fan said, not with the phone being smashed.

“People will comment on Jason Kelce, but the point is that there is no longer any accountability for anything anyone says,” former Team USA soccer player Taylor Twellman said on Did Happen?! People are losers for this crap.”

Kelce mentioned on “Monday Night Countdown” that this wasn't necessarily the platform for him to elaborate, so that could be done on his “New Heights” podcast with Travis, which is typically released each week.

Jason Kelce has been emotional defending his brother in the past, and the same goes for those who criticized the Chiefs tight end for his slow start to the season.

On the podcast, an emotional Jason Kelce was seen talking to his brother about it.

“It’s going to go your way, especially if you stay the fuck you’ve always been, you know what I mean,” Jason Kelce said. “There's no one I've ever played sports with and no one I've ever been on a team with who loved being out there with Trav more, and I know it's frustrating for me to watch and having to listen.”

“But I can’t wait – and we don’t have to put this in – but I just can’t wait. I can’t wait for it to happen.”
