If there is one NFL QB who has varying interests in sports, it’s got to be Patrick Mahomes. From golf to soccer to baseball, the QB has his inclination toward all different experiences. We recently saw Mahomes meeting up with Lionel Messi ahead of the KC Sporting vs Inter Miami game. But it is not just the QB from his family who is enthralled by the field of sports. His family, especially his wife, is equally interested in the competitive world. Given this, Brittany Mahomes, who is a retired soccer player, has a few thoughts to share about her recent experience at KC Current Vs. Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Brittany is the co-owner of KC Current and Patrick Mahomes has a minority stake in the team. The wife of the Kansas City Chiefs QB took to Instagram after the Current vs Gotham FC game, to showcase her long-standing love for the sport and support for her side. Though the match ended in a draw, Brittany couldn’t stay away from sharing her team’s accomplishments and hyping them for the same.

The match between both teams ended in a draw with both sides scoring one goal each. A couple of minutes ago, Brittany shared KC Current’s post that shows Beatriz Zaneratto’s assist to Temwa Chawinga which led to a goal. Her IG Story shared the team’s post that was captioned, “A COUNTER-ATTACK OF BEAUTY 🔥 The @biazaneratto to @temwa556 connection is lethal 😮💨#KCBABY” on Instagram.

The QB’s wife reposted the story with a caption that said, “This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” The picture in the story had a caption itself, which said, “POETRY.IN.MOTION.” as it showed both women celebrating after the goal. Some would think that her attachment to soccer is a momentary affair, but the fact of the matter is, that her love for the game goes way back in time.
