Randi Mahomes, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has offered a reaction to kicker Harrison Butker doubling down on his previous comments.
Butker referenced the polarizing statement he made during a commencement ceremony at Benedictine College earlier this month.
Speaking at the Regina Caeli Academy’s “Courage Under Fire Gala” in Nashville on Friday, the three-time Super Bowl winner stuck to his guns.
“In my seven years in the NFL, I’ve become familiar with positive and negative comments,” he said, per The Daily Wire. “But the majority of them revolve around my performance on the field. But, as to be expected, the more I’ve talked about what I value most, my Catholic faith, the more polarizing I’ve become. It’s a decision I’ve consciously made, and one I do not regret at all.”
Randi reposted a segment of Butker’s latest speech, captioning it “Amen…” with a praying hands emoji.
A user responded, “You literally married a pro athlete…you walked into money. Stay quiet.”

“And was left with none,” she fired back.
Randi has two sons, Patrick and Jackson Mahomes, with former MLB player Patrick Mahomes Sr. She also has a daughter, Mia, from another relationship. She and Patrick Sr. divorced in 2006.

What Did Patrick Mahomes Have To Say About Harrison Butker?
Patrick Mahomes has also shared his take on Harrison Butker’s comments. The Chiefs quarterback spoke to reporters last week. While he made it clear that he didn’t agree with everything his teammate said at the college, he supported him.
“When you’re in the locker room, there’s a lot of people from a lot of different areas of life, and they have a lot of different views on everything. And we’re not always gonna agree,” he pointed out.
“And there’s certain things that he said that I don’t necessarily agree with. But I understand the person that he is, and he’s trying to do whatever he can to try to lead people in the right direction. And that might not be the same values as I have, but at the same time, I’m gonna judge him by the values that he shows every day, and that’s a great person.”
