Patrick Mahomes Stirs Controversy at Royals Game

The Kansas City Chiefs have started the 2024 NFL season strong with a 5-0 record, following a victory over the New Orleans Saints. Amid their bye week, quarterback Patrick Mahomes showed support for the Kansas City Royals during their playoff game against the New York Yankees, where he was seen energizing the crowd after the Royals tied the game. However, controversy arose from a viral photo of a Chiefs fan in a native headdress, which was debunked as a photoshopped image, leading to discussions about the NFL's double standards regarding team names and cultural representation. Mahomes' performance in the Saints game also drew attention as his kneel downs in the final minutes led to mixed reactions among fantasy football players, some of whom lost by narrow margins due to his actions. The Chiefs are set to resume play against the San Francisco 49ers in week seven. This season marks the first time since 2018 that the Chiefs have started undefeated.
