We don’t have a horse in the big game on Sunday, but we were highly impressed with how Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes (the third most famous person in the country behind Donald Trump and Taylor Swift), handled gotcha questions from the media yesterday regarding Trump attending the Super Bowl.
He skillfully eluded any controversy with the same kind of savvy he shows on the field when he eludes blitzing 240-pound linebackers, by saying: “It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president – someone that is at the top position in our country.”
When asked about Trump’s praise that Mahomes is a “good winner,” the QB diplomatically responded: “It’s cool to hear that he’s seen me play football and respects the game that I play.”
During the presidential race he was asked what he thought of Trump: “I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way. My place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family.”
“I’ve grown up with people from every aspect of life and every background. I think the best thing about a football locker room…is people can come together and achieve something and achieve a common goal. If we can do that as a nation, I think we can get the best out of each other. I think that’s something that I do every single day.”
You don’t have to be a Chiefs fan to love this guy.
