Jason Kelce praised for keeping his cool after being insulted by man demanding his autograph
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jason Kelce was subjected to yet another bitter encounter with a fan in November.
After being heckled during a college football game earlier this month, the former Philadelphia Eagles star met with an autograph seeker who went ballistic on him.
Jason Kelce, 37, was leaving a studio premise in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 21, after an appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ when he got surrounded by fans. One among them, however, went berserk, as the former NFL star did not sign an autograph.

Autograph seeker goes berserk on Jason Kelce
As Jason Kelce was leaving the premises, his fans were camping outside the studio to get autographs from him. But, as the Super Bowl-winning star managed to bypass the waiting fans and went to his car, one of the fans snapped.
In the moment captured by TMZ Sports, the autograph hunter hurled a slew of expletives at the father of three.
Unable to fulfill his mission, the livid signature pursuer yelled, "You ain't nobody special!" and added, "You're some s**t bag, f*****g guy that thinks he's on some pedestal!"
However, as the man continued to scream, Jason got out of his car to check the situation from further aggravating.
The athlete explained calmly, "I have a habit of not signing for people that follow where I'm going.”
The man, continuing in his obscenities-filled tirade, at one point, readied himself to fight Jason.
He continued, "I'll be running the Marvel Cinematic Universe," and continued, "Watch for me, you p***y! F**k you. And f**k your love!"
Travis Kelce’s big brother, however, handled the situation by keeping his cool, as he promised the fans to give them autographs.
As he started signing, the man’s attitude changed and he apologized for his behavior. Jason even signed his paper, and told him, "You're good, bro," while shaking his hand.
The recent incident took place not even a month after Jason found himself in an altercation with a student during the Penn State vs Ohio State game on November 2.

As a student used an anti-gay slur for his younger brother and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis, Jason slammed the agitator’s phone to the ground.
He was, however, remorseful later and said, he shouldn’t have smashed the agitator’s phone.

"I was so disappointed that he signed for that rude, disgusting behavior of a human being. Love me some Kelce's, but nah, not for that embarrassing act of a guy. Jason is so cool," said someone else.

"Respect to Jason for ignoring the harsh words and still signing the autograph. One cannot allow strangers' aggressive feelings to deter one's image," noted another.
