As the 2025 NFL season approaches, several prominent figures connected to the Kansas City Chiefs are taking time to support local sports. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid recently attended a game at the CPKC stadium alongside star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Lynne Mahomes, showing enthusiasm for the KC Current, the professional women’s soccer team co-owned by the Mahomes family.
Patrick Mahomes co-owns KC Current NWSL team with Brittany and partners Angie and Chris Long. Founded in 2020, the KC Current competes in the National Women’s Soccer League and has gained increasing attention from fans and players alike. During the recent match, many Chief players, including some rookies, were present to cheer on the soccer team, reflecting the strong connection between the Chiefs organization and the KC Current.
Andy Reid’s Support for KC Current Shines at CPKC Stadium
The highlight of the Chiefs’ visit came when Andy Reid expressed his excitement for the KC Current with a simple yet impactful two-word cheer: “KC Baby!” This brief statement resonated with fans and amplified attention on the women’s soccer team. Reid’s public show of support emphasizes the growing synergy between the Chiefs and local community sports, especially as the Mahomes family plays a pivotal role in both organizations.
Debate Surrounds Andy Reid’s Legacy Amid Patrick Mahomes’ Rise
While Andy Reid’s stature as one of the NFL’s top head coaches is widely recognized, some voices in sports media offer a nuanced perspective on his achievements. Veteran analyst Colin Cowherd recently argued that Reid’s success is largely due to having Patrick Mahomes as his quarterback. On his show The Herd, Cowherd highlighted that Reid’s major victories, including multiple Super Bowls, began only after Mahomes became the team’s starting quarterback.

Reid took charge of the Chiefs in 2013 but did not lead the team to a championship game until 2018, Mahomes’ second year in the league and first as a starter. This timeline underpins Cowherd’s argument linking Reid’s success closely to Mahomes’ presence on the roster.
Growing Impact of the Mahomes Family in Kansas City Sports
The Mahomes family’s investments and involvement extend beyond the football field into the broader Kansas City sports community. By co-owning the KC Current, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes contribute to the growth of women’s professional soccer in the city, supporting athletes and expanding the sports culture. This cross-sport engagement helps elevate Kansas City’s profile nationally and encourages fans’ wider interest in local teams.
With the 2025 NFL season on the horizon, the Chiefs and their leadership continue to bolster local sports enthusiasm, while debates about Reid’s legacy persist. Supporting the KC Current reflects the Mahomes family’s commitment to diverse sports ventures, hinting at a long-term vision for Kansas City’s athletic future.
