Kelce was a great player for us, but that’s no reason to blindly back anything he says or does.

I think verbal harassment is a crime in Pennsylvania.

Penn State chokes again 

First and goal at the 3, 2 or 3 minutes left. Run it right up the gut twice and pick up about nothing. 3rd down, what to do? Why, run the same play the previous 2 attempts failed on of course. People b!tch about Sirianni's coaching and Siri has made some stupid decision but none worse than Franklin's 3rd down call.

I'm sure you know the First Amendment doesn't apply in this case, Kelce is not an agent of any governmental body that I know of. I'm sure Kelce already knows he'll be buying the kid a new phone.

 The first amendment protects you from government censorship/prosecution for your speech. It in no way protects you from the social consequences of your actions. Call a coworker a slur? You can get fired. Threaten a stranger? The cops can arrest you. Verbally harass an uber athlete who literally made his living by running over other people?  Welp crap happens and he's lucky it was just his phone. Better that idiot learn it now. 

Like I said, F that kid. 100% deserved.

This is such a great statement. I don't know why people like to attach themselves to athletes. 

It's also possible that both parties are in the wrong. Trash talking and recording with your phone is dumb.  Kelce, reacting the way he did was dumb. I'm sure Jason Kelce could have just turned around and looked the kid in the face and be intimidating enough to make him stop. You're a 6'3" 250lb+ professional athlete. Grabbing and destroying the phone was a childish reaction to a childish trash talking kid. 

If this is anyone but Jason Kelce, are Eagles fans sticking up for him? If this was Tom Brady, Gronk, Tim Tebow, LeBron James, Sidney Crosby (you get the idea) are Eagles fans cheering it on or saying that effing scumbag?

Kelce should have taken the phone from the kid, placed it gently on the ground ....... and then decked the kid. Geez, I should be a script writer

Some people deserve to have crap happen to them, and in some cases, get their asses kicked. In the long run, they'll be better off. Guarantee the kid won't say anything like that to the wrong person again. And who knows, it may end up even saving his life, because the next guy he goes around calling a F might have a gun on them and shoot him.

I like seeing a-holes put in their place. Someone needs to do it. Society is better off when they are put in their place. Otherwise you have a-holes going around continuing to be a-holes.

Remember when this fan base has a jail in the Fing stadium and now we're pearl clutching over a broken cell phone?

Buncha Commanders fans in here.

I think athletes, and really anyone in general, have the right to walk around without people hurling slurs about them or their family.

Wow, I bet you're a hit at parties.

I kid. Actually, I kind of agree with you. But, speaking from experience, when someone starts trash-talking my family, I stop thinking and just react. I'm not saying it's right, but I get why Kelce would break some punk kid’s phone if they called his brother ‘gay.’

Plus, sometimes drunk people can act like a-holes and need to face the consequences. I used to be a drunk a-hole, and I wish more people had called me out on it. 😂

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Dont poke the bear and expect nothing to happen.. kudos to Kelce, now that kid learned a valuable lesson today. You actually can’t say whatever you want without consequences

It may be deserved, but I would think Kelce has heard some things by now, and could learn to be a bit better in these situations.  
 

That said, it’s a nothing burger…just one of those things we’d never of heard of 25 years ago.

Never said otherwise. I was simply adding to what @FranklinFldEBUpper about fans being blindly supportive.

He plays a sport that glorifies trash talk. His former employer used to post videos of him mic'd up during games talking trash. Doesn't mean he deserves to hear it in public, but I'd wager on a scale of 1-10 of things he's heard, this is level 2.

A down year to be sure as the program makes major changes. Even so, perhaps not the best time to crow: 20-13 as Franklin continues his stellar performances against ranked teams. 

That's all true.  But Michigan isn't ranked right now, so that's sort of a moot point, isn't it?  And after today's game, that's not changing.  Not sure Michigan fans are in a position to crow at all either.    I'm pretty sure PSU would beat Michigan if they matched up this year.

No one in the blog has seriously supported Franklin as HC since he came to PSU.  It's not a supportive statement of Sirianni to say, "Well, at least he's not Franklin."

I’d stick up for this person if it was any of those. Hell, if your grandmother did this, I’d cheer her on. Too many a-holes in society who think they’re untouchable.
