Dave Portnoy defended Jason Kelce after a lunatic fan hurled expletives at the former NFL star for not signing autographs following his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
After the show Thursday night, Kelce left Los Angeles El Capitan Theatre without stopping for autograph seekers, leading some of them to lash out at the Philadelphia Eagles legend.
One man climbed up the fence and began berating Kelce, calling him a py and a st bag, among other things.
The Super Bowl winner eventually gave in, exiting his SUV and walking over to the waiting crowd to diffuse the situation.
Portnoy said the man should be in prison.However, Portnoy told his X followers Friday that he wished the retired athlete had stood his ground.
I HATE that Jason Kelce got back out of his car and signed this lunatics autograph, the Barstool Sports founder, 47, replied to the video.
Hes getting bullied by aholes. That guy should be in prison not getting an autograph to flip.
This wasnt the first unruly fan Kelce has dealt with in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, the New Heights podcast host went viral for slamming a college students phone to the ground which Portnoy argued at the time was justified.
The retired athlete was headed to a game at Pennsylvania State University when a student shoved their phone in his face and labeled his brother, Travis Kelce, a f-t for dating Taylor Swift.
In response, Jason grabbed the mans phone and threw it to the ground, theoretically asking, Who is the ft now?
In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just dont think that thats a productive thing, he told ESPN viewers one day later.
Im not happy with anything that took place. Im not proud of it, Jason added.
The only thing Kelce should have apologized for is maybe using the F word. But anybody with a brain knows he was just repeating what was said to him, the media mogul added in a follow-up tweet.
If he called him a py, bh, ahole that woulda been the word he used, he added. Golden rule was applied perfectly. He treated that guy exactly how he deserved to be treated.
