Before cheering her husband Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on to their highly anticipated matchup against the Detroit Lions, Brittany Mahomes cheered for a different Kansas City team over the weekend, the KC Current, the National Women’s Soccer League side she co-owns.
As the Chiefs hosted one of the toughest games of the season, Brittany was spotted at CPKC Stadium soaking up the Current’s newest victory and rubbing shoulders with fans. The image was an indication of her evolving role as not only the wife of an NFL icon, but as an emerging sports business executive and entrepreneur building her own path.
From the pitch to the gridiron
The timing of Brittany’s trip represents a rich irony to her weekend. Before the Chiefs’ game, hours earlier, she was snapped embracing her status as co-owner of the KC Current, the world’s first stadium dedicated entirely to a professional women’s soccer team. Her trip underscored her passion for women’s sports, even as her husband geared up for what would prove an emotionally charged NFL game.
According to Athlon Sports, the Patrick and Brittany pair were awarded historic recognition for their efforts in shaping Kansas City’s sporting scene. The Mahomes couple is now the epitome of the city’s sports solidarity, the one dominating on the pitch and the other constructing facilities for generations of future women’s athletes.
“Brittany has done something truly special for Kansas City,” an inside team source told Athlon Sports. “She’s balancing it all – her family, the Current, and the visibility that comes with being married to Patrick.”
Balancing two worlds
While Patrick Mahomes has the duty of extending the Chiefs dynasty, Brittany’s life has gone far and wide beyond the edge. A soccer player herself, she is now one of the most recognizable NWSL owners, contributing to the development of the league and having a consistent presence within the NFL universe.
Her ability to juggle those two universes, usually on the same day, is an evident testament to her work ethic and commitment. For Brittany, helping the Current is not a diversion from football, it is an expression of her long-standing passion for sports.
