Kansas City star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> appeared to shake off the haters, calling it “a great honor” that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-to-become-first-sitting-president-to-attend-super-bowl">President Donald Trump</a> will be attending Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in New Orleans — even after Trump made it clear months earlier that he wasn&#8217;t a fan of Kelce&#8217;s superstar girlfriend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a>.
Speaking to members of the <a href="https://people.com/travis-kelce-says-it-s-a-great-honor-to-have-trump-at-super-bowl-8786317">press</a>, the Chiefs player was asked his reaction to Trump becoming the first sitting U.S. President to ever attend the Super Bowl, which is set to take place between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome.
“That’s awesome. It’s a great honor,” <a href="https://x.com/ClayTravis/status/1887220979988054184">Kelce</a> said. &#8220;I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I&#8217;m excited because it&#8217;s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it&#8217;s the best country in the world — and that&#8217;s pretty cool.&#8221;
When Chiefs star QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> was asked the same question, he gave a similar response.
“It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president,” <a href="https://x.com/AP/status/1887200725651833142">Mahomes</a> said. “Someone that is at the top position in our country.”
The comments from Kelce and Mahomes come months after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-taylor-swifts-kamala-endorsement">Trump</a> blasted Swift for publicly endorsing Trump’s former opponent for president, former Vice President Kamala Harris.

During his appearance in September on “<a href="https://x.com/ConservBrief/status/1833832221540602188">Fox and Friends</a>,” Trump called in and was asked what he thought about Swift’s public support of Harris and he noted that she had always been a Democrat supporter.
“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth,” the president told the hosts, referencing Chiefs QB Mahomes’ wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-thanks-brittany-mahomes-for-defending-presidents-2024-maga-platform">Brittany Mahomes</a> who made headlines after she liked a Trump post and promptly went on defense against the “haters.”
“She’s a big Trump fan,” he added. “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t … you couldn’t possibly endorse [President Joe] Biden.”
“You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him,” Trump continued. “But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great. She got a lot of news last week …”
Trump previously thanked the wife of the Chiefs star after she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-friend-brittany-mahomes-likes-trump-post-goes-on-defense-against-haters">liked a post </a>in which he outlined his 2024 Make America Great Again platform — and then quickly hit back at those who didn’t approve of what she’d done.

Chiefs star QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> had nothing but praise for God after the Kansas City team sealed a third trip in a row to the Super Bowl with a 32-29 victory against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Seconds after the Chiefs became AFC Champions again, a <a href="https://x.com/Sports_Spectrum/status/1883712399209095437">CBS sportscaster </a>caught up with Mahomes and asked him, pointing to the team’s chance to make history as threepeat SB champions, “How do you even describe this one, this opportunity ahead?&#8221; 
Super Bowl LIX will be held on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“I mean, first off, I want to give all glory to God,” Mahomes told the reporter. “Without him, none of this is possible. And I truly mean that.”
“And I’m just so proud of my teammates and how they responded,” he added. “That was a great football team and I’m just at a loss of words &#8230; I’m excited for New Orleans.”

It is not the first time the future NFL Hall of Famer has been open about his faith. Following the Chiefs&#8217; 25-22 overtime victory in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL star credited God with the team’s win, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-challenged-us-to-make-us-better-patrick-mahomes-credits-god-for-super-bowl-win">reported</a>.
Mahomes spoke to the press immediately after the Chiefs won the big game for the second consecutive year and said, “I just got to give God the glory” as he praised his team members for never faltering during the difficult season.
“He [God] challenged us to make us better,” Mahomes added. “And I am so proud of my guys man, this is awesome. It’s legendary.”
Mahomes has often spoken about his faith. In February 2023, he praised God after he scored the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2022 season.
“First, I want to thank God for giving me this platform and putting so many amazing people around me to help support this dream I’ve had since I was a little kid,” Mahomes <a href="https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/09/kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-mvp-acceptance-speech/">said</a>. “Without Him, none of this would be possible.”
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-tells-press-my-christian-faith-plays-a-role-in-everything">Chiefs</a> quarterback previously discussed Christianity with reporters at a Super Bowl event two years ago.
“My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,” Mahomes revealed. 
“I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name,” he added. “Obviously it will be on a huge stage in the Super Bowl that He’s given me and I want to make sure I’m glorifying Him while I do it.”

Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> called out the NFL over his team’s upcoming three-game stretch over the Christmas holiday.
Speaking to members of the press, the Super Bowl-winning QB admitted he’s worried about the wear and tear on his body after the league scheduled three games over an 11-day period, starting with a road trip on Sunday, December 15 against the Cleveland Browns.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not a good feeling,&#8221; Mahomes said, per <a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-251a297450b4837f4fbd514fa5162a77">The Associated Press</a>. &#8220;You never want to play this amount of games in this short of time.”
“It&#8217;s not great for your body,” he added. “But at the end of the day it&#8217;s your job, your profession, you have to come to work and do it.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Patrick Mahomes: Three games in 11 days &#8220;not a good feeling.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/goHdk2447r">https://t.co/goHdk2447r</a>
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) <a href="https://twitter.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1866979284893450674?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 11, 2024</a></blockquote>
“All you can do is focus on the game,” Mahomes continued. “The practice you have that day. I try to prepare my body all year long for this stretch. That&#8217;s tailoring my workouts, tailoring how you practice and prepare, and the coaches do a great job of taking care of us on the practice field. We practice as hard as anybody, but they know how to dial it back when needed.&#8221;
After the Browns game, the Chiefs play against the Texans in a home game on December 21, and then on Christmas Day, they travel to Pennsylvania to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a stretch of 4 days between the games, compared to the usual 6 or 7 days to recover.

The Chiefs aren’t the only team with the crazy, three games over an 11-day schedule ending on Christmas Day &#8212; the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers, and Houston Texans will also have to endure the short turnaround.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he’s taking a measured approach to getting his team ready for the 11-day stretch, the AP noted.
“It’s a unique situation. You just have to manage it,” Reid said. “It is what it is. You make the best of it. The main thing is you get guys ready for the game. Give them a chance to get ready for the game. They&#8217;re going to do whatever you present to them. You try to help them out with that. Right now we have a normal week right here. We have to take care of business here.&#8221;
The Christmas Day games are part of Netflix&#8217;s doubleheader as the streaming platform dives into live sporting events.
The games will be star-studded, with the queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, kicking things off on December 25 for the Chiefs vs Steelers game. Carey will deliver a taped performance of her all-time number one hit holiday song “All I Want For Christmas Is You” during a game opening performance, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/12/12/mariah-carey-sing-nfl-christmas-game-beyonce/">TMZ reported</a>.
Beyonce will perform songs for the halftime game in Houston from her country album “Cowboy Carter,&#8221; when the Texans host the Ravens later that day, <a href="https://x.com/CBSMornings/status/1867204972095426679">CBS Morning noted</a>.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> star QB Joe Burrow has become the latest athlete to have his home broken into while he was on a road trip with his team.
The Hamilton County’s Sheriff’s Office confirmed to <a href="https://www.wlwt.com/article/joe-burrows-house-broken-into-report-during-football-game/63148465">WLWT</a> that Burrow’s $7.5 million Ohio home was burglarized and ransacked during Cincinnati’s 27-20 win over the Cowboys in Texas on Monday.
The outlet reported that a 911 call came in from a woman whose daughter was staying at the QB’s home, saying, “Someone is trying to break into the house right now.”

“My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house,” the mom added. “She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside. She said someone was in the house.”
A second 911 call came from the person staying at Burrow&#8217;s house, saying, “Someone broke into my house. It’s like completely messed up.”

The NFL recently issued a security alert to players and teams following two separate burglaries of the homes of Kansas City Chiefs players <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travis Kelce</a>.
In a memo obtained by the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nfl-security-alert-burglaries-mahomes-kelce-960075221367266fbee98f711a74c094">Associated Press</a>, the league said homes of professional athletes have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.”
The memo labeled the transnational crime rings “well-organized, sophisticated,” and urged the players to safeguard valuables and avoid publicly sharing check-ins on social media or any information about their homes and any luxury items they might own, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cincinnati-bengals-qb-joe-burrow-home-burglary-rcna183666">NBC News</a> noted.
Officials noted that the homes are specifically being targeted when players are at their games.
Mahomes’ home was burglarized on Sunday, October 6, the day before the team’s victory on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints, the outlet noted.
On the day of the game, the home belonging to Kelce was broken into while the team was playing against the Saints. At the time, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/12/patrick-mahomes-travis-kelce-homes-burglarized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a> reported that $20,000 in cash was stolen and a back door was damaged.
A South American crime ring is believed to be the culprit in at least the Chiefs burglaries, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/sports/joe-burrows-home-broken-into-during-mnf-in-another-athlete-robbery/">New York Post </a>reported.
At the time of this report, Burrow or the Bengals have yet to comment on the burglary.

Chiefs Star quarterback <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a>’ mom Randi Mahomes sported a red “Make America Great Again” hat ahead of the Kansas City game on Monday night.
In a video posted on Monday on <a href="https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1853591132082778196">X</a>, Mahomes was wearing a bright red Kansas City Chiefs sweatshirt with a red “MAGA” hat and said, “Make America Great Again! Let&#8217;s do it,” as she cheered. 
The popular quarterback&#8217;s wife Brittany Mahomes made headlines earlier this year when she liked a post shared by former President Donald Trump, then immediately went on defense against the “haters&#8221; who attacked her.
In the original post shared by Trump on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-m53xGu3MY/">Instagram</a>, the former president listed “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
Mahomes’ wife liked the post, without explaining which of the ideas she agreed with — and she then hit back at those who tried to cancel her, delivering a clear message to leftist adults who were upset, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_B3CgGSRxC/?img_index=1">OutKick</a> reported.

“I mean honestly,” Brittany’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">Instagram Story</a> read. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”
“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.
Not even a week later, Mahomes’ wife appeared on the Whoop podcast and made it clear she doesn’t “give a f*** what people have to say about” her anymore, crediting her husband with teaching her not to worry about what others think, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-dont-give-a-f-about-critics-brittany-mahomes-after-getting-ripped-for-liking-trump-post">reported</a>.
“Yeah, I think we got kind of thrown into the fire together, and I think that’s what helped us, you know, do so well in the life that we are, is that we did it all together. And he is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports,” Brittany said. “So I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did. So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at, you know, managing those things and blocking people out.”
The Chiefs QB previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/patrick-mahomes-reveals-why-he-wont-be-endorsing-a-presidential-candidate">explained</a> why he wouldn’t be endorsing any presidential candidate this year, and said his only role was to remind people to do “their own research” when it came to voting.
During a Chiefs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9NT-Dz4qHI">press conference</a>, Mahomes was asked by reporters about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-taylor-swifts-kamala-endorsement">Trump’s</a> comments praising <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brittany-mahomes">Brittany</a> after she liked his “MAGA” post.
“I’ve always said, I don’t want my place or my platform to be used to endorse a candidate … either way,” Mahomes said. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research, and then make their best decision for them and their family.”
And Patrick explained that the ability to do so is “what makes America so great.”

Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harrison-butker">Harrison Butker’s</a> NFL gear sales for the first time ever beat out fellow teammate Travis Kelce’s despite a backlash against the kicker over his commencement speech.
In a <a href="https://nflpa.com/partners/posts/things-to-know-about-the-season-kickoff-nflpa-top-50-player-sales-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list</a> from the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) of the top 50 players with the highest sales of official NFL-licensed merchandise, Butker not only made his debut in the rankings for the first time, but also bested Kelce at 12th place by coming in at 11.
Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes&#8217; NFL gear sales beat out both Kelce and Butker’s, coming in second place, behind only Houston Texans C.J. Stroud, who nabbed the top spot, the outlet noted.
The list was compiled of official NFL merchandise sales between March 1 and May 31, weeks after Butker made headlines for the commencement address he gave at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colleges">Benedictine College</a>, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/catholic">Catholic</a> university in Kansas, in which he praised his wife for being a “homemaker,” called out President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, and criticized LGBT “Pride month.”

In the speech to the Catholic college on May 11, Butker said, “How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
“It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker,” he added.

Chiefs’ Harrison Butker’s NFL Gear Sales Beat Kelce’s Despite Backlash Over Commencement Speech

&#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin lashed out at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brittany-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brittany Mahomes</a> — wife of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes — suggesting that because she once &#8220;liked&#8221; a Trump post on Instagram, she didn&#8217;t really understand the implications of her own interracial marriage.
Hostin made the comments during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the ABC midday talk show, where despite acknowledging that no one else on the panel had planned to bring the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-thanks-brittany-mahomes-for-defending-presidents-2024-maga-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mahomes&#8217;</a> marriage into the discussion, she plowed ahead with it anyway.

Hostin began by saying that it had given her hope to see an uptick in voter registrations after pop star Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), saying that she wanted to see &#8220;the Swift effect&#8221; help to drive more people away from supporting former President Donald Trump.
She then segued to Mahomes, adding, &#8220;To your initial point, I know you said we weren&#8217;t going to talk about it, but I was. It just seems to me that since she is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist is problematic.&#8221;
&#8220;Her children are biracial, and her family is one of the families that in the 70s could not have lived in any of Donald Trump&#8217;s buildings,&#8221; Hostin continued, suggesting that either Mahomes was ignorant or she hadn&#8217;t yet had the &#8220;problematic&#8221; nature of her position explained to her. &#8220;So it just seems to me that maybe she&#8217;s just not that politically savvy or maybe she&#8217;s just not read in&#8230;&#8221;

By claiming that it was &#8220;problematic&#8221; for Mahomes to like a Trump post — the post in question simply listing a number of his 2024 policy priorities — Hostin appeared to assume that her politics must necessarily be in opposition to her husband&#8217;s. However, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/patrick-mahomes-reveals-why-he-wont-be-endorsing-a-presidential-candidate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> has repeatedly stated his desire to stay out of politics altogether.
&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve always said I don&#8217;t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever either way,&#8221; he said, according to a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/patrick-mahomes-makes-his-political-stance-clear-1952900" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek report</a>. &#8220;I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, is to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.&#8221;

Kansas City Chiefs QB <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> explained why he won’t be endorsing any presidential candidate this year, and said it is his place to remind people to do “their own research” when it comes to voting.
During a Chiefs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9NT-Dz4qHI">press conference</a> on Wednesday, Mahomes was asked by reporters about former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-taylor-swifts-kamala-endorsement">President Donald Trump’s</a> comments earlier in the day in which Trump praised Mahomes&#8217; wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brittany-mahomes">Brittany</a> after she liked his post outlining the 2024 Make America Great Again platform and then hit back at those who didn’t like what she’d done.
&#8220;I’ve always said, I don’t want my place or my platform to be used to endorse a candidate … either way,&#8221; Mahomes said. &#8220;I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research, and then make their best decision for them and their family.&#8221;
And Patrick explained that the ability to do so is &#8220;what makes America so great.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says he will not endorse anybody for president" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G9NT-Dz4qHI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“Dating back, if you’ve seen my history, I&#8217;ve grown up with people from every aspect of life, and every background,&#8221; Mahomes said. &#8220;I think the best thing about a football locker room, and kind of how I&#8217;ve grown up in baseball locker rooms, is that people come together and achieve a common goal.”
“And we talked about it a while back, but I think if we can do that as a nation, I think we can get the best out of each other. … Whenever I&#8217;m hanging out with whoever, I&#8217;m not thinking about their political views,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I&#8217;m thinking about the people and how they treat other people.&#8221;
He was then pressed by another reporter if it affected him “one way or another” after Trump brought up Brittany’s name, praising her for allegedly being a big “Trump fan.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/">Am I Racist? ONLY In Theaters Tomorrow—Get Your Tickets Now!</a>
&#8220;No, I think at the end of the day, it&#8217;s about me and my family and how we treat other people,&#8221; Patrick explained. &#8220;And I think you see Brittany does a lot in the community. I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give other people opportunities to use their voice.”
The comments came after his teammate Travis Kelce’s pop star girlfriend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a> endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump following the ABC News Presidential Debate.
Swift called the VP a “steady-handed, gifted leader&#8221; and said she was voting for the Democratic nominee because she was “impressed” by Harris&#8217; “selection of running mate [Minnesota Gov.] @timwalz” for what she labeled his “support for “LGBTQ+ rights” and abortion. 
Last year, leftist Walz signed an executive order protecting life-altering gender procedures on minors in his state, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walz-signed-exec-order-protecting-trans-procedures-on-minors-while-holding-hand-of-gender-confused-12-year-old">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. Under Walz’s order, people seeking gender procedures for themselves or their children will not face prosecution, according to the <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/briefs/walz-signs-executive-order-reaffirming-right-to-gender-affirming-care-in-minnesota/">Minnesota Reformer</a>.

Patrick Mahomes Reveals Why He Won’t Be Endorsing A Presidential Candidate

Kamala Harris

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> and Travis Kelce were spotted at the US Open and later on a double date with Patrick and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-friend-brittany-mahomes-likes-trump-post-goes-on-defense-against-haters">Brittany Mahomes</a> — after the QB’s wife’s liked a post by former President Donald Trump, then went on defense against the “haters.”
On Sunday, the 34-year-old singer and her beau Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce had some fun in the sun at the tennis tournament, where the two shared a VIP box with the Mahomes, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/09/sports/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-enjoy-double-date-with-patrick-and-brittany-mahomes-after-us-open-outing/">New York Post</a> reported.
The “Shake It Off” hitmaker and Kelce were then photographed looking stylish on their way to dinner in New York City at Meduza Mediterrania restaurant. Arriving separately — but to the same location — were the Kansas City Chiefs QB and his wife, the Post noted.
The group hanging out together comes amid speculation from some that there had been some rift between the ladies after Swift wasn’t seen hanging out with Brittany at the opening night of the Chiefs game in Arrowhead on Thursday.

Suggestions online came from the fact that it could be because Mahomes made headlines after she hit back at those who didn’t like that she had liked a post by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-thanks-brittany-mahomes-for-defending-presidents-2024-maga-platform">Trump</a> in which he outlined his 2024 Make America Great Again platform.
In the original post shared by Trump on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-m53xGu3MY/">Instagram</a>, the former president listed “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
Brittany liked the post, without explaining which of the ideas she agreed with, hit back at those who tried to cancel her and delivered a clear message to leftist adults who were upset, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_B3CgGSRxC/?img_index=1">OutKick</a> reported.
“I mean honestly,” Brittany’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">Instagram Story</a> read. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”
“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.
Not a week later, Mahomes’ wife appeared on the Whoop podcast and made it clear she doesn’t “give a f*** what people have to say about” her anymore, crediting her husband with teaching her not to worry about what others think, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-dont-give-a-f-about-critics-brittany-mahomes-after-getting-ripped-for-liking-trump-post">reported</a>.
“Yeah, I think we got kind of thrown into the fire together, and I think that’s what helped us, you know, do so well in the life that we are, is that we did it all together. And he is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports,” Brittany said. “So I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did. So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at, you know, managing those things and blocking people out.”

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Spotted At US Open And Double Date With Patrick And Brittany Mahomes Following MAGA Controversy

Roughly a week after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brittany-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brittany Mahomes</a>, wife of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, incurred the wrath of leftists by liking a post by former President Donald Trump, she bluntly said, “Honestly, I don’t give a f*** what people have to say about me anymore.”
Trump had listed on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-m53xGu3MY/">Instagram</a> “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
At the time, she fired back at critics, “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood” on an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">Instagram Story</a>.
Appearing on the Whoop podcast, Mahomes stated of her life with her husband, “Yeah, I think we got kind of thrown into the fire together, and I think that’s what helped us, you know, do so well in the life that we are is that we did it all together. And he is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports. So I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did. So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at, you know, managing those things and blocking people out.”
“And doing all that, doing all that type of stuff. So having [him] beside me, kind of guiding me and coaching me through it has helped a ton, and I think that’s kind of how we’ve gotten to where we’re at now.”

“What’s been a piece of advice that’s helped you manage all of it?” she was asked.
“I think the main thing, you know, he always told me is like, stop caring what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you,” she answered. “And so I think social media used to get to me a lot, and now it’s just like, ‘Honestly, I don’t give a F-*-*-* (spelling the word out) what people have to say about me anymore, and I think he’s helped me get to that point to where I’m strong in who I am; I’m confident in who I am. I’m confident in mine and his relationship and I’m confident in our life. So why does what other people say have to matter at all?”

The 28-year-old’s social media account is filled with pictures of her showing support for her husband at Chiefs games with their two kids in tow, a daughter and son. The couple recently shared the exciting news that they are expecting their third child, another girl. There&#8217;s two of her from the summer, enjoying multiple Morgan Wallen country concerts.
And there are also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">pictures</a> of Brittany and Swift together at Chiefs games as Taylor’s been dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for more than a year.
On the final night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, a rumor was helped spread by the legacy media that a surprise guest would be making an appearance.

Speculation soon surfaced that it could be the “Shake It Off” hitmaker or Beyoncé, both of whom have shown their support for Democratic presidential nominees in the past. Before Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage, Beyoncé’s crew said she would not be there and had no plans to be.
Swifties have been eagerly waiting to see if the superstar singer will possibly throw her endorsement to Harris, something some have suggested could affect the 2024 Election. Swift previously endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris during the 2020 election, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/taylor-swift-endorses-joe-biden-president-n1242483">NBC News</a> noted.

During a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/wXvi5ttZfwY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> on Wednesday, Reid and the Super Bowl-winning QB answered questions about the off-field distractions surrounding <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-kicker-slams-biden-and-dei-in-commencement-speech">Butker’s speech</a> to the graduates at Benedictine College — when he praised his wife for being a “homemaker,” called out President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, and criticized LGBT “Pride month.”
“We’re a microcosm of life here,” Reid said. “Everybody is from different areas, different religions, different races. And so we all get along, we all respect each other’s opinions. And not necessarily do we go by those, but we respect everybody to have a voice. It’s the great thing about America, man. And we’re just &#8230; a microcosm of that. My wish is that everybody could follow that.”
“The guys are good with that,” he added. “They understand. They understand how things work. Everybody’s got their own opinion; that’s what’s so great about this country. You can share those things, and you work through it. And that’s what guys do.”
When pressed further by one reporter claiming Butker was speaking “ill” of women, Reid shut him down and hit back.
“He has his opinions and we all respect that,” Chief’s coach said. “I let you guys [the media] in this room and you have a lot of opinions that I don&#8217;t like.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes &amp; Trent McDuffie Speak to the Media at OTA&#039;s | Press Conference 5/21" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wXvi5ttZfwY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
When Mahomes took the mic he echoed a similar sentiment and said he’s known Butker for seven years and he chooses to judge the placekicker by the character that he “shows every single day, and that&#8217;s a good person.”
“That&#8217;s someone who cares about the people around him, cares about his family, and wants to make a good impact in society,” Mahomes said. &#8220;When you&#8217;re in the locker room, there&#8217;s a lot of people from a lot of different areas of life, and they have a lot of different views on everything, and we&#8217;re not always gonna agree.”
“There are certain things that he said that I don&#8217;t necessarily agree with, but I understand the person that he is, and he&#8217;s trying to do whatever he can to lead people in the right direction,” he added. “It might not be the same values as I have, but at the same time, I&#8217;m gonna judge him by the character that he shows every single day, and that&#8217;s a great person.&#8221;
Butker’s speech at the Catholic college drew a backlash online, with critics branding him as misogynistic and more.
