Seems like Brittany is on IG liking Trump's posts... Not sure of Patrick. I was hoping they be on our side as they both seem level headed.

"The Black community needs our help," Burrow wrote during the George Floyd protests in 2020. "They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isnt politics. This is human rights."
In 2022, he called out the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision.
"I'm not pro-murdering babies," he posted. "I'm pro-Becky who found at her 20-week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life-sustaining organs."
"I'm pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later."
"You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is: I'm pro-life. Their lives. Women's lives."

(3,966 posts)He's cordial to everybody. He was at the UFC event with his buddy Nick Bosa, on the left, who is a Trump supporter. Bosa probably wanted to meet Trump and Joe went along with it.

(1,430 posts)Patrick Mahomes is not going to support any candidate. There was a rumor his wife liked something about the Republican platform, but only right wing rags like the NY Post carried that story. Some sports sites debunked the story.and regular press simply wont carry unproven rumors. But, it does seem like anyone involved in the Taylor Swift/ Kansas Ciry Chiefs/ Kelce family really does need to be careful.

Im pretty sure Travis Kelce is a Democrat too for somewhat obvious reasons.

(743 posts)for some reason I am not sure I would say he is a "Democrat"

(1,430 posts)On their podcast, they said they disagreed with everything that kicker said (although they said they get along with teammates). Sadly, it is serious that neither Taylor Swift nor the Kelces can speak out. It matters because they both pack huge stadiums and there are a lot of very bad people out there.

(743 posts)Travis has liked posts by Sage Steele about Trump and meeting Dana White at UFC events.

(743 posts)By now it shouldn't matter who these people are for.. If we need Taylor Swift to come out and tell peope by now to vote for Harris, we might be in trouble. This is a pretty easy election to see who is good and who is evil.
Never understood why it was such a huge thing for these people to come out and say who they support.

(54,333 posts)Brittany Mahomes is under fire by leftists for liking Trumps platform on IG.
Brittany appears to now be defending her support for Trump, blasting the haters for not healing from issues they had from childhood.
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.

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, fired off a message on social media after she was criticized for liking a post from former President Donald Trump Friday afternoon.
The NFL wife apparently angered scores of liberals when her name showed up on an Instagram post from Trump that laid out 20 points from the 2024 Republican Partys platform. Trump proposed sealing off the countrys southern border as well as carrying out the largest deportation operation in American history.
Trumps post also called on deporting pro-Hamas radicals from college campuses and keeping men OUT of womens sports.
The proposals were nothing new but some on Instagram were quick to note the wife of the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback was among thousands who liked the pitch from the former president.
