Brittany Mahomes is catching some heat online over a post she made in the wake of the shooting incident that took place nearing the end of the Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade on Wednesday.
The shooting left one mother of two dead and 22 others injured, with many of them reported to be kids.
Brittany, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, took to her Instagram story to share a message in which she claimed to be “embarrassed and disappointed.”
“Highly embarrassed and disappointed in this, Super Bowl wins will never be the same because of this, it’s devastating,” she wrote. “Lives lost and people injured during something that was suppose to be a celebration. Horrible and traumatizing. So many prayers going to the families involved.”
This is a horrible response. There are people fighting for their lives and she’s concerned about how Super Bowl celebrations will change?!

While she offered condolences to the families of the deceased and injured, her comments have earned her lots of criticism as fans are displeased with her wording choice given that she seemed more concerned by the Super Bowl possibly being impacted than the fact that one woman was killed while others were seriously hurt.

“I saw this too. It’s written so poorly even if she for once meant well,” a Reddit user wrote. “She says she’s embarrassed?! And that it will ruin super bowls? Those are the first things from her mouth? She’s not smart and she’s a narcissist.”

The Chiefs QB and teammate Travis Kelce have also attracted criticism after going out to dinner in KC just hours after the shooting, with the latter taking the brunt of it for posing for a smiling selfie with a cop.
