Ever since Brittany Mahomes decided to like that Instagram post about former president Donald Trump and was attacked for it, people have been wondering where Patrick Mahomes‘ political affiliations lie. The most logical stance to tak for pretty much any celebrity or athlete is to stay in the middle, that’s about the safet way to go about having a professional athlete’s career. It’s not a coincidence that on September 11, Mahomes decided to take a stance and let people know what he thinks about the current presidential election. And we gotta say, he made the best possible decision for both his career and his life. People can guess what ever they want about Mahomes but he does have a mean poker face.

Who is Patrick Mahomes endorsing?

After Wednesday September 11’s practice for the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes took some time to speak to reporters. They asked him about the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons. A reporter asked him what his political stance was or if he would be willing to endorse a specific candidate for the November elections. This is what Mahomes said: “I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way. I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family.”

 

That right there has to be the most balanced answer any of the biggest athletes in the world can take. Back in the day, another great athlete decided to take a similar stance because he wanted to get along with everybody. We are talking about Michael Jordan, who was notorious for never taking any type of political stance in public. This obviously doesn’t mean he didn’t vote and it also doesn’t mean Patrick Mahomes is not going to vote. All this means is that Mahomes chooses to keep his vote a secret and avoid any type of chastizing by either side of the isle. Well played Patrick, well played…
