Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes isn’t just making waves on the football field; he’s building a remarkable sports ownership portfolio across various leagues. Having already invested in the Kansas City Royals, Mahomes recently joined the ownership team for the Kansas City Current, the city’s National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club. His enthusiasm for the opportunity was evident as he expressed gratitude for joining his wife, Brittany, in supporting the Current alongside co-owners Chris and Angie Long. Mahomes praised the Longs for creating a world-class organization and shared his excitement about helping shape another high-caliber sports team as it aims for championship success.
Mahomes’ commitment to Kansas City’s sports scene doesn’t end there. He now owns stakes in both an MLB and an NWSL team, showcasing his deep investment in the city’s athletic future. However, Mahomes’ ambitions extend even further as he sets his sights on bringing a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team to Kansas City. Reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter indicate that Mahomes and the WNBA have already engaged in discussions about adding a Kansas City franchise, marking a significant step toward this goal.
In the statement, Schefter highlighted that Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, who are part of the KC Current’s ownership, have made a strong case for Kansas City to be considered for WNBA expansion. Mahomes’ enthusiasm for Kansas City sports is clear, as he continues to expand his influence and support for the city’s professional sports landscape. His growing ownership portfolio also includes stakes in Sporting Kansas City, the city’s Major League Soccer team, further underscoring his dedication to building a robust, multifaceted sports community.
Mahomes’ initiative to bring a WNBA team to Kansas City aligns with the league’s recent efforts to expand into new markets. His involvement could be pivotal in attracting the league’s attention to Kansas City, adding to the city’s rich sports heritage. Bringing a WNBA franchise to Kansas City would not only fill a gap in the local sports scene but also offer increased visibility and support for women’s sports in the region.
By continuing to invest in Kansas City’s sports franchises, Mahomes demonstrates a commitment beyond the game, supporting local teams and advocating for the city as a vibrant sports hub. His vision and dedication promise to shape Kansas City’s athletic culture for years to come, creating lasting opportunities for fans and athletes alike.
