Mahomes did not stop berating the referees during the first half of the duel against the Dolphins.
rick Mahomes is not very accustomed to things going against him. During the first half of the game against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback did not stop complaining to the referees, to the point that the fans began to turn against him.
Patrick Mahomes’ bold response to the social media hatersParker Johnson
The crowd gathered at Deutsche Bank Park was not very amused by the signal-caller’s constant complaints, which interrupted the flow of the match.
Fans on social media also began to take note of Mahomes’ constant tantrums. This sparked a controversy with two sides: those who described him as a “cry𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦” for the claims and those who defended the University of Texas alum.
Among the comments, @BonkerBroncos noted, “Where’s that stat about how many complaints he’s lodged with the refs?”@oriolesfan833 said, “Chiefs refs somehow slipped through customs,” and @jacob24940799 said, “Refs don’t even try to hide at this point.”
Patrick Mahomes is literally a b*tch boy and complains to the refs about literally everything. Can’t stand him tbh.

The “Swifties” enter the controversy
And it wasn’t just football fans who made themselves heard on social media.
Given the well-known romance between singer Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the singer’s fans also raised their voices due to the player’s lack of activity.
At the end of the first half, Kelce only had two receptions for seven yards with no score. These are typical numbers for a tight end, but given Kelce’s current celebrity status, they weren’t enough for fans.
And it didn’t take long for the Swifties to find a culprit: Mahomes.
@joshnayIor threatened: “Patrick Mahomes, if u do not get the ball into Travis Kelce’s hands in the second half, I will be starting a war.”@barcelona𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦12 pleaded, “THROW IT TO TRAVIS MORE IN THE 2ND HALF PLEASE!!! #ChiefsKingdom #TravisKelce”
However, Kelce also has his detractors. @virgoBipolar said, “21-0 but Travis Kelce can’t play outside of 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 Taylor territories. 7 yards je zzzzz. Gronk > Travis Kelce.”

Taylor was the big absentee
The fans’ disappointment began even before the duel, when it became known that “Tay Tay” would not be in the boxes at Deutsche Bank Park. The singer is attending to her work commitments in the United States, which is why she could not make the trip to Germany.
In addition, just on Saturday night, a girls’ night out was announced in which Swift was seen in New York in the company of Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, singer Selena Gomez, and actress Cara Delevingne, among others.
