"I'm not happy about the situation, me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety," Jason told his brother. "That's what I regret. It didn't deserve attention, it's really stupid."

The father of three added that he wishes he simply hadn't reacted to the heckler.

"It's dehumanizing and it got under my skin, it elicited a reaction," Jason went on. "In the heat of the moment, I thought 'Hey, what can I say back to him? I'm going to throw this s--t right back in his face. F--k him.'

"I'm not happy with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it," he said. "And in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don't think that that's a productive thing."

"I don't think that it leads to discourse and it's the right way to go about things," Jason continued. "In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn't have. So, I think the bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rule—it’s what I've always been taught—I try to treat people with common decency and respect, and I'm going to keep doing that moving forward, even though I fell short this week."
