Travis Kelce is sticking up for his older bro after his recent blowup on a spectator at the Penn State game -- saying he knows Jason has no hate in his heart.

Transcript

00:00Well, Jason Kelsey made his apology for what happened, although it's more of an explanation.

00:05Not an apology.

00:06Yeah.

00:07For what happened on campus at Penn State where, if you missed it, this guy was running

00:11after him and used the homophobic slur referring to Travis, and Jason turned around and smashed

00:16his phone and then hurled it back at him three times.

00:19So Jason went on ESPN on Monday night and said, you know, I shouldn't have greeted hate

00:26with hate.

00:27But we knew he was going to address this on the podcast with his brother.

00:31He kind of teed it up, and he did.

00:33So he elaborated on, and I think this came closer to an apology from Jason for using

00:40that word.

00:42But then listen to Travis' take on the fact that his brother used that word.

00:47They don't necessarily seem to be on the same page about what happened.

00:50Nope.

00:51The thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you.

00:55The word he used is ridiculous.

00:58In the heat of the moment, I thought in my head, Hey, what, what, what can I say back

01:02to him?

01:03I'm going to throw the right back in his face.

01:05I know now that that was, I shouldn't have done that because now there's a video out

01:07there with me saying that word, him saying that word, and it's not good for anybody.

01:12I know it's weighing on your brother sucks.

01:14You shouldn't, you shouldn't feel this much, uh, obviously the scrutiny and are the media

01:20like view on it and everybody passing around the videos that are being out there.

01:25I mean, that's, uh, that's going to make it a bigger situation than I think what it really

01:29is.

01:30But the real situation is you had clown come up to you and talk about your family and you

01:35reacted in a way, um, that was defending your family and you might've used some words, uh,

01:41that, uh, you regret using and, uh, and that's a situation that we're, you just gotta kind

01:46of learn from and, uh, and own the word to defend your family.

01:54So that word was, I will say that from what I heard Jason say, it sounds like he understands,

02:00I think he gets it, that it's a hurtful word and he hates that there's a video of him saying

02:04this word.

02:05And as he said, that's not good for anybody.

02:07But to say this is the media that's circulating on the media, it's like, geez, I mean, he

02:14just doesn't get it.

02:16And I'm not sure what Travis is exactly talking about because none of these sponsors that,

02:21that have sponsored the Kelsey brothers have really talked about this publicly or admonished

02:25him publicly.

02:26His job at ESPN has been safe.

02:27They have not said anything admonishing him or suspending him or banning him or doing

02:31anything sort of.

02:32Well, that's his point is that, that all the, all the advertisers are fine or employers

02:37are fine.

02:38So why are we in the media talking about it?

02:41It's not a big deal.

02:42No, there's an answer to that.

02:45And the answer is that all the advertisers, what they look at, all they care about is

02:49they look at social media and they say, if he's getting torn apart, we're going to cancel

02:53him.

02:54And if he's not getting torn apart, we'll embrace him.

02:55And he wasn't getting torn apart.

02:56A lot of people supported him and that's why they embraced him.

02:59But that has nothing to do with the statement itself.

03:03And the media saying, yeah, this is a news story that he hurled at three times.

03:08And I don't think Travis gets it.

03:09Hi, I'm Sierra from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

03:13And I support Jason in this situation.

03:18Is it unfortunate that he used a homophobic word?

03:21Absolutely.

03:22It was the heat of the moment exchange person hurled it at him first.

03:26It's not language that he was using all willy nilly and it's just an unfortunate situation.

03:31And he maybe could have had a stronger, you know, apology, but you know, context truly

03:36matters in this situation.

03:38And you know, it seems like he, you know, regrets it.
