Last night’s game between the Mavericks and the Chiefs was full of surprises, but one moment that had fans talking was when Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, was booed by Mavericks fans before cheering for his teammate, Patrick Mahomes.
The mixed reactions from the crowd added an interesting twist to the game, sparking debates among fans and sports analysts. It was an intriguing moment and it played out embarrassingly for Kelce during the game!
While Travis was displayed on the screen, the crowd heckled the highest-paid tight end on the other hand, when teammate Mahomes was shown, he faced a different treatment.
The Dallas Mavericks fans treated Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes differently. They were accompanied by Marquis ‘Hollywood’ Brown and Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes.
As the 34-year-old came on the scoreboard video screen, there were boos and jeers heard during Kelce’s appearance, as per the clips posted on social media accounts by the users.
Kelce, who was selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, acted surprised during his appearance on the Jumbotron before he pointed his hands towards teammate Mahomes moments after the boos turned into cheers.
However, in contrast, the three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback was cheered with applause as he tried to pump up the crowd before the Mavericks won 116-107 as they took a 3-0 lead.
The official social media account of Dallas Mavericks poked fun at Kelce while mentioning him as just “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend” and Mahomes in a tweet to acknowledge their attendance.
The X account, mentioning the two Super Bowl champion teammates who are gearing for a three-peat with their side, wrote, “Our guy Pat and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend in the house.”
Well, it looks like even superstar athletes like Travis Kelce can’t escape a little friendly rivalry! Despite being booed by Mavericks fans, Kelce still showed his support for his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes. It’s all in good fun, right? Who knows, maybe next time the tables will turn. But hey, at least Kelce knows where his loyalties lie.
