Good thing the NFL rulebook doesn’t have a chapter on players’ families getting political. If it did, Randi Mahomes might’ve drawn a flag for shouting “Make America Great Again” from the VIP suite as she cheered on Patrick Mahomes, during the Chiefs–Bucs MNF. You might remember when 49ers star Nick Bosa had to tread lightly with his MAGA hat. But this time, it wasn’t the league dishing out warnings; it was the netizens bringing the heat.
So, how did Mama Mahomes respond? She hopped on her Instagram exclusive stories to have a little jab back at the haters. Well, we would not call it a jab. But she did convey that the critics don’t bother her. “I’m proud of myself for not being fake,” she wrote. “I’m difficult sometimes and have a few screws loose. But I’m 100% me.” She posted this on Election Day, making her stance as clear as the Chiefs’ red she was sporting.
Randi wasn’t just subtle with her support, either. At Arrowhead, she rocked a bold red MAGA Hat (or I support Trump Hat) matching with her red and gold KC gear. So, you can guess what happened next? Yup, some of the online users took it to heart and criticized it. That would have been fine, but there was online abuse hurled at Randi as well. Hence, why we saw her issue a response.

But hey, she’s not the only one in the Mahomes family with Trump-friendly vibes. So, you can expect here to know how to deal with it. Earlier this year, Pat’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, subtly joined in by liking a pro-Trump post.
Well, you might remember the outrage it caused on social media. Sure, many supported her for voicing her opinion. On top of all that, even Trump didn’t miss the chance to acknowledge her support, calling Brittany and Patrick “a great couple” and thanking her for backing him up.

So, with the whole Mahomes crew showing their cards, it seems the only one who’s managed to stay silent is the #15. Maybe he’s saving all his plays for the field.
Locked in on the 3-peat, this is how Patrick Mahomes urged people to vote
Ah, the Chiefs’ 8-0 start—about as sweet as it gets. Patrick Mahomes is leading KC toward that rarefied 3-peat territory, you can say: eyes locked on the prize. But here’s the thing: while he’s all in on that championship chase, Mahomes is also staying laser-focused on what matters to him, sidestepping distractions like a cornerback dodging blocks. Politics? Yeah, he’s not about to let that pull him off his game.

What’s your perspective on:
Randi Mahomes' MAGA support: Bold move or unnecessary distraction for the Chiefs' 3-peat quest?
Have an interesting take?
When asked about his political stance, Patrick Mahomes chose a different play. “I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” he told reporters. Mahomes made it clear: his role isn’t about taking sides; it’s about encouraging fans to get involved, to dig deep (do your own research, he said), and to vote based on what’s right for them and their families. Smart move, huh?
Plus, Mahomes’ message isn’t about who to back; it’s all about that power of choice. He reminds us that his main job isn’t about picking political teams but about helping fans get informed, register to vote, and make decisions on their own terms. Classic Mahomes, eh? Staying focused on the gridiron while nudging us to handle business off of it.
