Listen to Press Go Quiet as Patrick Mahomes Makes Reporter Regret Asking This

I don't want I don't want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever um each either way Patrick Mahomes who of course is the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs this is from the Kansas City Star uh they the media was trying to get him to go all in on bash and Trump and some more uh supporting Cala but check this out former president Trump referenced you in your family again today on Fox News in relation to his campaign I just wonder what your reaction is to see in that yeah I think I've always said um I don't want I don't want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever um each either way I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote is to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family um and so I think that's every time I'm on this stage and I get to ask these questions I'm G refer back to that because I think that's what makes America so great I think it was important though I don't know if important is the right word but when you were at the US Open this past weekend and you guys were there with Taylor and Travis I mean is that an important image to to show that you know people who may have different philosophies yeah I mean I think I've always even dating back I think if you seen my history I've grown up with people from every every aspect of life um and every background and I think the best thing about a football locker room and kind of how I've grown up in baseball locker rooms everything about that is people can come together and Achieve something achieve a common goal um and I think if we can I mean we talked about it a while back but I think if we can do that as a nation I think that we can get the best out of each other um and so I think that's something that I do every single day and whenever I'm I'm hanging out with with whoever I'm not I'm not thinking about their political views or anything like that I'm thinking about the people and how they how they treat other people um and I was with a lot of great people this weekend isn't that just right and great and good and decent and what you would want to hear out of anybody you know I live in a very intense political situation I go play basketball with a group of guys everyone wants to talk about politics with me someone sees me at dinner they want to talk about politics with me and I'm always trying to get people to talk about other things I get that it's an important piece of life and you should be aware and try to affect things to to the extent that you can um but he's totally right the guy's a freaking amazing football player and that's what he wants to focus on and he wants fans across the aisle he wants to oh you're a good person I'll be friends with you but they're constantly trying to put this wedge in between all of us but as I said more and more of us are not falling for it
