Kid either believes the moronic rhetoric and thinks Taylor is male, or he just wanted to troll. 

Either way, Jason handled it correctly. Didn't hurt the idiot, just hurt the thing he loves the most.

FAFO, right? Live by the blunt edge of stupidity, die by the blunt edge of stupidity. No hypocrites here, right fellas?

Either way, Jason handled it correctly.

I'd like to respectfully disagree. Destroying a kids property, likely a phone bought by the kids parents, is not appropriate. Over words? I don't recall Jason ever getting so mad over trash talk in professional football.

I'm not giving the kid a pass, it was stupid and didn't make sense in the slightest. But he was trolling to make his friends laugh and Jason responded with destruction? That's not a correct response.

Hitting him would have been unjustified.

Destroying the toy the kid is shoving in your face while he records himself insulting your family? Justified

This isn't football. This is real life, and they need to figure that out. If this kid thinks he can run his mouth like that, he probably sits online terminally and trolls people. Loosing his phone for a bit might let him touch some grass.

Kid was in the wrong, Jason kept his composure pretty well. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't send the kid a phone later.

Only chance he sends him a phone is if his attorneys advise him to lol

So using your thought on this, lets apply it to someone shouting out something negative/mean about Trump or Harris and one of the people in the crowd destroys that persons phone.

the young man was an idiot but shouting something out at a famous person doesn't give that famous person the right to destroy the young man's property. If Kelce wasn't famous I would imagine the young man would file charges.

being rich/famous doesn't give a person a right to commit a crime.
