NFL fans are furious over Patrick Mahomes’ brother Jackson
Both NFL fans and Swifties love the growing friendship between Taylor Swift and Brittany and this handshake moment. However, some NFL fans expressed anger and frustration online over Jackson’s presence, given his controversial reputation.
Jackson Mahomes has faced allegations, including three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery and a misdemeanor count of battery for incidents at a bar earlier in the year. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges and is currently out on a $100,000 bond.
Because of these ongoing legal issues, Jackson has been away from social media. He rarely posted on his TikTok and Instagram accounts. Therefore, his sudden appearance in the Chiefs game caught everyone off guard.
Then his involvement with Taylor also aggravated fans who didn’t want the popular singer to hang out with Jackson. Twitter users expressed their strong opinions, with some labeling Jackson as a “thug/weirdo” and others expressing concerns about his behavior.
Some fans called him a “predator.”
Fans also made fun of how he was staring at both gal pals before trying to make his way to join them.
Some fans also called out Jackson, urging that he be arrested, reflecting his involvement in the legal issues.
Fans also called him a “creep” and a “horrible person.”
The special handshake shared between Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes sent waves of excitement rippling through the crowd. However, the euphoria surrounding this remarkable moment was abruptly dampened by the untimely intervention of none other than Jackson Mahomes, whose presence unfortunately marred the sanctity of this extraordinary encounter.
It is evident that the illustrious figure of Jackson Mahomes shall not be embraced by the football fraternity until such time as his name is cleared from the clutches of his ongoing legal entanglements. The intense backlash that ensued was a direct result of his participation in the handshake between Taylor and Brittany.
