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."

He should be happy. I think his girl is the hottest of the bunch. As for the posts about him and Gracie, go look in the Gracie thread. Plenty of examples.

We have one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game here and the last thing we need to do is have him distracted by silly comments from "some people". 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.
Hell it isn't
Exactly why they are the sidelines and constantly needing to be seen.

A decent percentage of people on here mocked his teammate who happens to also be a cancer survivor and that was all good. This place has some really weird standards

OMG this! I really do not know what to think at this point. She is a MOTHER and SHOULD act like one! Be behind your future husband not a distraction! I. hate to say this, feel like she and Jackson are just attention whores off of Mahomes contract. Brittany and Jackson BOTH need to grow up!
