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."

Except you have it 100 percent backwards. OP in both of these threads are D’s and not R’s.

The more i think about it the more i realize that i should be doing more to shit on their haters. That's my QB.
He's the goddamn reason we all woke up Monday morning feeling fucking great, and not like those dildo throwing reeruns.
I'm officially throwing down the gauntlet. I'm team Mahomes, baby. That means im also Team Mahomes' family. Fuck all you haters.
Real Chiefs fans don't hate on Mahomes' family. HELLL NO. If he loves them and accepts them for who they are, then so do I.
Who are the two prissy bitches who downvoted your post?
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.
Treading lightly here because I just took a beating on this topic but...
Chris Jones plays DE, Jordan Lucas plays SS. Fisher played LT. Curry is a Guard. Fans celebrating with the TEAM, or vice versa, is different than what took place.

Most definitely. That’s pretty much all of what social media is anymore. One person says something meaningless and a thousand idiots respond to it and make huge deal out of nothing.

People with way to much time on their hands bitching about inane shit.

No, it is not. People are complaining that people will get sticky. It’s a mean thing to do to people who are cold. What if kids are in the crowd. What if kids smell alcohol on someone’s jacket. If these things matter so much it doesn’t matter if you get champagne sprayed by Michael Jordan or Jordan Michael.
Not a damn person complained about it then. You know who else has not complained? NOT A SINGLE PERSON WHO WAS THERE. The same people who did cartwheels watching our team spray fans, shotgun beers and throw open beers around like candy during our super bowl parade in broad daylight where kids were all over the place. People aren’t outraged about what happened. They are outraged by who did it. It’s hypocritical nonsense.

I understand what you are saying but that wasn’t my complaint in this situation nor was I at the parade chucking beer. People are using photos of championship team members celebrating with their fans to justify what took place. I’m only pointing out that it is not an equal equivalence (at least as it pertains with my position).

Next someone on CP is going to tell me that I'm creating microaggressions that are ruining their CP experience and they're going to report me to the admin...

Patrick Mahomes plays QB, Gehrig Dieter plays WR. Tiger Woods is a golfer. Cow goes moo. You're a retard.

Ha. that sounds like me after attending a Chiefs Game out here. Mostly its stuff getting thrown at me and hearing the obligatory- "Sit down and shut up".
