Patrick Mahomes’ 3-Word Message to Wife After Chiefs Kicker’s Speech
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes flew to New York City to support his wife, Brittany Mahomes, on Thursday, May 16.
The Mahomes celebrated Brittany’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut at the magazine’s 60th anniversary celebration at the Hard Rock Hotel. Mahomes paid tribute to his wife’s accomplishment on Instagram and wrote, “proud of you❤️ @brittanylynne
The comments section immediately blew up on the heels of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker‘s viral commencement speech at Benedictine College. One fan wrote, “A MAN SUPPORTING A WORKING WOMAN… iconic!!!” Another person added, “Because she is more than just a wife and mother ❤️.”
One woman commented, “COUPLE GOALSSSS!!! ❤️ always showing up for his wifey! .” A large faction of Chiefs Kingdom is reeling following Butker’s comments about women and his wife.
Butker told the graduating class at the small Catholic school on May 11, “I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. 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
I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother,” he said. “It cannot be overstated that all 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.”
The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica denounced Butker’s speech in a statement, particularly the “homemaker” claim
