Is Patrick Mahomes's MAGA wife bringing bad juju to the Chiefs?

1. Don't forget the kicker - he's a piece of work

Not sure about Kelce either. Thought he was a normal guy but he might be a closet MAGA too.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Kelce is marrying Taylor Swift. I'll give him a pass.

7. There's no evidence Kelce is MAGA

Do you really think Taylor Swift would agree to marry him if he were?

Travis Kelce makes it very clear where he stands politically

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has not made a formal endorsement in the upcoming presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, but he has still made his political stance pretty clear over the months and years.

While Travis Kelce has not been all that explicit about his political views, it’s not all that hard to determine where he leans politically when you read between the lines a little bit. As Andrew Holleran of The Spun points out, it’s pretty clear that Kelce leans left politically, for a number of reasons.

“Take a look at what Kelce has done,” Holleran wrote earlier this year.

A commercial for the COVID-19 vaccine
Endorsements for ‘woke’ Bud Light
Appeared in socially progressive sketches on Saturday Night Live
And back in 2017, he was one of the first white players to kneel for the national anthem

“Does that sound like someone who’s right leaning to you?” Holleran concluded.

Additionally, Kelce has a high-profile relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, who has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in this year’s election.

11. This CK thing surprised me with how many celebs and other people were secret MAGA

Anyway, I am not saying it’s 100% certain but he has done and said questionable things too like saying nice things about Trump at the Super Bowl.

12. I think Travis had to stick with the team line

About Trump as he said something really basic. The Hunt family, owners of The Chiefs, are super MAGA and from what I've heard their players are expressly prohibited from speaking out while under contract.

(One of the local kids had a try out with them and said that he heard from others the Hunts crack down on it.)

Kylie, Jason's wife, has said the whole family is liberal and vote Democratic. She's even had Michelle Obama on her podcast. Their mom was also a big Hillary and Kamala supporter.

19. Is that the same Hunt family

that tried to corner the silver market in 1980?

[wishstar]

20. Yes, owner Clark Hunt is nephew of Nelson Bunker Hunt, the silver guy

and owner Clark Hunt is billionaire grandson of oil tycoon HL Hunt.

[xmas74]

24. Yep.

That was Lamar Hunt.

[wishstar]

21. Travis kneeled during national anthem in 2017 to support Black Lives Matter

He was suspended over kneeling for 2 games by their coach. Travis also did a public service announcement to promote Covid vaccine so he is definitely not MAGA.

[xmas74]

23. Yep

I think he made a comment that was middle of the road because he knows the fan base and knows not to speak up too much atm.

I think retirement will let him be more free.

[Wiz Imp]

15. He didn't say nice things about Trump at the Super Bowl as much as he answered a question very diplomatically

so as not to offend people. He's not stupid. “He never actually even said the word Trump.

What celebs and other people have you identified as "secret MAGA" (whatever that means) due to CK?

[hlthe2b]

9. No way... He's marrying Taylor Swift and you think that?

He has a house in Lee's Summit, MO which is pretty conservative, but that does not mean he is. I have family friends who've known his parents for years and have told me they are long time Democrats as well.

[xmas74]

13. And in Leawood.

And Kylie has also said theyre all Democrats.

3. ...

GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Close game. Two Kelce drops (one into an Interception) and that missed FG came back to bite them.

Sources: Harrison Butker was distracted by a woman in the crowd making a decision for herself.

22. Kelce also was kind enough to separate his own

teammate’s shoulder last week -their best receiver Worthy.

Go Birds!!

5. Cry harder.

Go 🦅 Birds

6. I'm disappointed.................

I'm a Mahomes, Kelce fan. My beloved brother is a Eagles fan. My husband is a Saints fan.

8. I liked the Chiefs until I learned Ms. Mahomes is MAGA.

[EdmondDantes_]

10. Since there's no such thing as bad juju, no

Not everything is political. Did she suddenly just become a Republican because they've been doing pretty well for a long time.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Football became political when they blackballed Kap.

There were instances before that as well.

[EdmondDantes_]

17. He didn't get blackballed, he wasn't good enough to be worth the distraction

He was a mediocre quarterback and you don't want your backup to be generating publicity. And because he wasn't a good passing quarterback you'd have to redesign your offense to maximize his skills in a way only the Ravens have done for a quarterback and Kaepernick isn't nearly as good as Lamar Jackson.

But you also do understand that winning and losing football games is what I meant wasn't political right? There's Democrats and Republicans on every team. Thinking the outcome of games is decided by the politics of anyone, but especially someone who isn't playing, coaching, or refereing the game is weird. It would be just as silly to ask if they lost their last 3 games because of Taylor Swift.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. The juju remark was meant to be tongue in cheek, and to be a discussion starter.

I would argue whether or not Kap was blackballed is more complex than you suggest.

[still-prayin4rain]

16. Yes.
