Brittany Matthews, the fiancée of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is trying to take a creative approach at ending bullying following the criticism she received for spraying champagne on frigid fans following the team’s win over the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs.
Matthews teamed up with the clothing company Charlie Hustle to create the "Team Brittany" shirt, which features an orange-yellow background and the words scrawled across the front in red.
"There has been quite a bit of buzz this week and it’s been a pretty rough week over here. However, me and my team have decided to try to turn this buzz into something and something good for the Kansas City community," Matthews said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories on Thursday.
"First, I just want to say, I greatly, greatly, greatly appreciate Kansas City and how much ya’ll have gotten behind us and supported me so much. It means the absolute world to me."
She said Charlie Hustle approached her to make the T-shirts and she wanted to turn the "opportunity into something good." She said part of the proceeds from the shirt sales will go to Red Card KC, a local charity in Kansas City that aims to prevent any kind of bullying.
"Obviously, I do receive a lot of hate on a daily basis on social media and I know so, so, so many other people do as well. I’m lucky enough to have a good support system and a city that is lifting me up but I know there are a lot of people out there struggling with this so that’s why I’m proud to just partner with this company and get behind this cause and hopefully push everything into the right direction and start spreading some more positivity on all of these platforms. I hope you guys just use this as a daily reminder to let you know that words are very powerful and it costs you nothing to be kind and nice to people… in this city we like to lift people up and not bring each other down."

There's a stark split between those who don't give a fuck and those who want to bitch and moan about everything because that's simply what they really, really want to do. The latter are typically (R)'s.

I don’t know your status in life or anything about your family. I do know mine and I don’t live under 0.01% of the scrutiny of PMII, and I know I will stick to those close to me 100% even if they are imperfect. If you think your importance and family purity and personal character are superior, go ahead and attack PMII’s loved ones. Not me. I support PMII. His family is his business.

hope she's matching the Charlie Hustle donations.
They weren't unsuspecting. They were literally turned around going nuts.
I’m pretty furious that this is even a story. Google “golden state warriors parade champagne.” There are a billion videos of warriors spraying and dumping booze into the crowd. A million times more than Brittany. Nobody called Klay or Seth disgusting. IT WAS NEVER A STORY. You know why? Because NOBODY CARES.
People after decades of champagne sprays are suddenly outraged because barstool sports drove you to this. They were not outraged about the warriors. Not about Jordan Lucas spraying champagne into the crowd at the chiefs parade. Not about Chris jones pouring beer all over a bunch of fans after the game. They specifically went after one person who they’ve been trolling for several years now. It’s outrage porn and I cannot believe chiefs fans of all people would fall for it. I get if you don’t like her or her behavior, but this story specifically is such utter bullshit.
