Folks expecting a political endorsement by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes better not get their hopes up.
Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, made headlines last week when fans noticed she “liked” a post from Donald Trump’s Instagram account. Trump is running against Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 United States presidential election:
Two of Mahomes’ teammates, tight end Travis Kelce and kicker Harrison Butker, have dropped strong hints that they’ll be voting for the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively.
But during an interview with TIME that was published in April, Patrick Mahomes made it clear that he won’t be publicly endorsing either nominee in this year’s election:
“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain President. I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research
Trump has received political endorsements from other notable athletes (past and present), including Brett Favre, Mike Ditka, Antonio Brown, John Elway, Mike Tyson, Mike Piazza, Mariano Rivera, Johnny Damon, Curt Schilling, Bob Cousy, Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.
But like most other high-profile professional athletes, Patrick Mahomes has understandably decided to avoid controversy by keeping his political opinions to himself. Regardless of his voting intentions, offering any endorsement would just upset a large number of Mahomes’ fanbase.
Mahomes and the Chiefs will kick off the 2024 NFL season on Sept. 5 when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead Stadium.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Eye A Three-Peat
No team in NFL history has won three straight Lombardi Trophies, and only the 1971-73 Miami Dolphins, 1990-93 Buffalo Bills and 2016-18 New England Patriots have played in three straight Super Bowls.
Kansas City is two-thirds of the way there, having defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first repeat in 19 years. If the Chiefs can make it three straight, they’ll have completed the first three-peat in the “big four” professional sports leagues since the 2000-02 Los Angeles Lakers.

Courtney Cronin might not be as well known as other reporters on ESPN, but she surely made a name for herself during a recent post of hers on social media.
Cronin has been working for ESPN since August 2017 and covered the Minnesota Vikings for several years before moving to the Windy City to report on the Chicago Bears.
The NFL Nation reporter for ESPN, who has been a regular guest on various shows, such as “Around the Horn” and “First Take,” is going viral this week for her work outfit.
Courtney Cronin posted a picture of herself smiling at the “Around the Horn” studio while sporting a dark green short skirt that showed off plenty of her legs.
With her short skirt were some black strappy heels that really brought the outfit together.
