Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs prepare for a historic encounter with the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday at Super Bowl LVII. And days before the final showdown of the season, Chiefs’ fortune heiress Gracie Hunt has stood up fiercely in support of the Mahomes family. Particularly, Jackson Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has faced many a question about his younger brother, Jackson’s behaviour in public and on social media. However, Gracie Hunt has decided to shut the naysayers up and keep rooting for the entire Mahomes family.

Jackson has faced significant online resistance because of his TikTok videos and his behaviour at the Arrowhead during certain games. There have also been times when the anti-Jackson campaign went out of line. Like the time a Broncos fan hurled homophobic slurs at Patrick’s younger brother and social media personality.

Gracie gave her own thoughts on the issue. “I think Patrick Mahomes has a wonderful family, from Brittany to Jackson. They are wonderful people and we are so blessed to have them as part of our organization and are huge rocks in Patrick’s life. I do think that we live in a culture that’s often quick to criticize and slow to forgive. But I think we need to be one that’s quick to forgive and slow to criticize,she said, according to Fox News Digital.

Patrick Mahomes has had to hear a lot about his brother

Jackson Mahomes is quite a controversial figure in the world of social media. Be it his public altercation with a nightclub employee and security or spraying champagne on Buffalo Bills fans after the Chiefs won the AFC back in 2021.

Also, Brittany Mahomes joined in the action during the latter instance. Patrick’s wife has also publicly spoken out in Jackson’s support and even started the ‘Team Brittany’ t-shirt campaign to promote anti-bullying culture.

Fans have begged Patrick to ban Jackson and Brittany from attending home games. They especially requested Mahomes to not let his brother attend the Super Bowl. However, the 27-year-old father of two has brushed these requests away. But a Lombardi this Sunday for Pat will surely stop the online hate against the Mahomes for the foreseeable future.
