The decision comes as a stark contrast to many other NFL teams who have embraced LGBTQ+ inclusion and held similar events, with Pride Nights becoming a staple of professional sports leagues across the country. The Chiefs’ refusal to participate has led to intense reactions on both sides of the aisle, with supporters praising the team for “staying true to football” and critics decrying the decision as a backward step in societal progress.
While the Chiefs’ management stands firm on their decision, the reaction from players has been notably mixed. Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was quick to diplomatically distance himself from the decision, stating, “I’m here to play football, not politics. But I do believe everyone should be treated with respect, on and off the field.”
Tight end Travis Kelce, known for his fun-loving personality, shared his thoughts during a media session. “I mean, I wear glitter on my cleats sometimes, so I guess I’m a little confused,” he laughed. “But hey, we’re all about winning games here. We’ll let the front office deal with that stuff.” His comments were met with an outpouring of support on social media, where fans appreciated his lighthearted take on the matter.
