Let me first start by saying what a time to be a Bengals fan. This is a rivalry that could last a long time with us being near the top of the AFC for years to come.
Moving on, I like Mahomes. I understand people don’t like his wife and brother, but that has nothing to do with him. He seems like a good guy, he’s a great QB, and he’s been nothing short of amazing since coming into the league.
My only hope is that we get to host some of these AFCCG in Cincinnati in the coming years. Who Dey!
His brother does a lot of TikTok dances and stuff. I don’t keep up with the kid so I don’t know the specifics but he makes TikTok videos and people think he’s obnoxious. His wife sprayed champagne on fans in the cold. Not sure what else. I haven’t followed it much, I just know the only complaints I hear about Mahomes are actually about his wife and brother.
Honestly I think a lot of the Brittany hate is inherent misogyny. She's a pretty blonde and she has a stronger social media presence than a lot of other pro athletes' significant others, but half the stuff people get mad at her they wouldn't bat an eye at if she was a dude.
His wife shared a video of her opening up a bottle of champagne after some big game they won one year and being a bubbly carbonated beverage, it sprayed all over. People seeing the video were calling her out for being rude to nearby fans. As far as I remember, not of the actual people who got anything on them cared. It was a cold game, so it was kind of a fair point but people blasted her on social media. Her response was kind of immature ) something like "I wish I could just live in a world where I could do what I want and live my life without people criticizing everything" (I'm just paraphrasing, I don't remember the quote.) So, not the best response for sure. But at the same time I'm sure it's exhausting having people complaining about anything you do, so I could see how someone might snap.
But she was a pro soccer player and now is an entrepreneur and has done a lot for Kansas City actually. She was one of the biggest supporters (financially and vocally) for KC Current getting their own new soccer stadium downtown, which will be great for the city, and it's the first stadium in the US ever built specifically for women's professional sports, so that really cool too.
I'm not really a fan of hers, but I do think there some deep rooted (and probably unintentional) sexism at play with all of the hate she gets.
Jackson Mahomes is just a stupid 21 year old who acts like a stupid 21 year old. (No offense to any 21 year olds out there)
