NFL's Chris Long Blames 'Internet Culture' for Jason Kelce Phone Incident


Jason Kelce’s former Philadelphia Eagles teammate, Chris Long, blamed ‘Internet culture’ for the viral phone swatting incident involving Kelce last weekend

In a separate video released by TMZ after the incident, Kelce — who started working for ESPN in September — was also seen repeating the same homophobic slur three times in rebuttal. Long argued the heckler, who approached Kelce on the campus of Penn State University after the former Eagles star appeared on ESPN’s College GameDay, was looking for “the quickest way that I can get my five minutes of fame.” On the topic of clout chasing, Long argued young people today sometimes incite violence for the purpose of social media engagement.
