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."

I don't think he reads CP, but he hears enough comments from other sources and we don't need to be one of them. This isn't junior high.
So ask a mod to change the words Brittany and Jackson via word filter?
Mahomes gives not 2 fucks about what is said on Chiefsplanet.com
...and for the record this place is easily 1 of the grittier fan forums on the net and largest to suggest that talk about the dumb things that our QBs wife and kid brother do are banned is fucking retarded. I'll bring back the old saying:

I'm not advocating banning anything except stupid shit. If you don't like what Brittney or Jackson are doing, just keep your mouth shut and quit wasting bandwidth. We have a lot more important things going on like George's high 5 from Kelce and RM's polls!!
Can't stand the twitter trolls that are keyboard-brave and just can't keep from letting their thought-diarrhea explode on anyone that ever-so-slightly annoys them. If you're one of them - stop it. You're vying for low-life trash status in society. You can be better than that. And if you' can't, you deserve your status when the social media smoke clears.
And for Brittany - the worst of the world pretty much exists on social media to varying degrees (twitter being the worst) and waits for anyone (and for about any reason) to trigger a hyperbolic response. It's Junior High...and that insults several junior highers I know. Get off social media or lower the presence and expectations. Getting on social media is choosing to step out into a cow field that's filled with cow shit. If you don't want to wade through the shit, stay away.

What do you think CP was for the first 15 years?...
