Brittany Mahomes’ heartfelt message on women’s sports reveals why female athletes deserve more than just recognition
Brittany Mahomes is putting her support for women’s sports front and center as the Kansas City Current continues to expand its influence beyond the soccer field. The former professional soccer player and team co-owner recently backed a message celebrating female athletes and the wider impact of women’s sports, highlighting why their stories deserve greater attention.
Brittany Mahomes backs women’s sports and female athletes
Brittany’s message came as the Kansas City Current unveiled KC Current Studios, a new media facility designed to give the club and its players another platform to tell their stories. For Brittany, the value of sports goes well beyond the final score.Speaking at the event, she focused on the personal and social impact that athletes can have on the next generation.“One of my favorite things about sports is what happens beyond the game, whether it’s the confidence, the friendships, the inspiration, the impact on young boys and girls who see what’s possible … those stories matter and they deserve to be shared,” she said.That message fits naturally with Brittany’s role within the Current. She is part of the club’s ownership group alongside founders Angie and Chris Long. Her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is also an investor in the team.The Current has become one of the most visible examples of the growing investment in women’s professional sports. Its CPKC Stadium was built specifically for a women’s professional sports team, giving the club a home designed around the needs and experiences of its players and supporters.The club reinforced that vision on social media, writing, “At the core of every investment is belief. We believe in the power of women’s sports and the stories of female athletes,” with Brittany responding with three clapping-hand emojis.
Brittany Mahomes’ message comes amid wider debate
Her comments arrive during an ongoing national conversation about fairness, eligibility and inclusion in women’s sports. Several prominent athletes have recently shared their views, making the subject one of the more closely watched discussions across professional sports.Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, for example, has publicly argued that transgender women should not compete in women’s sports. Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has also spoken about biological differences and competition in women’s tennis while discussing the WTA’s updated eligibility rules.Brittany did not address those specific debates in her comments. Instead, her focus remained on celebrating female athletes and ensuring their experiences receive attention.That distinction matters. Her latest message was centered on the broader role of women’s sports and the stories that can inspire young people, rather than on a specific position regarding eligibility policies.Brittany’s family has also remained closely connected to the Current. The team recently shared a picture of her with daughter Sterling Skye and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III at the KC Current Studios facility. Patrick Mahomes responded with three light blue heart emojis.Meanwhile, Patrick is preparing for the upcoming NFL season at Kansas City Chiefs training camp as he continues his recovery from the torn ACL and LCL he suffered during the 2025 season.For Brittany, however, the Current represents something larger than another sports investment. Her latest comments underline her belief that women’s sports can build confidence, create opportunities and give young athletes people to look up to. With the club continuing to grow, she appears determined to help make those stories part of the conversation.
