Patrick Mahomes Takes Ownership In Another Sports Franchise

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is putting his $450 million contract to use this week. It was just announced that he’s a new member of the Sporting Kansas City ownership group.

Mahomes is already a part owner of the Kansas City Royals. Now, he’s adding an MLS team to his portfolio.

Sporting Kansas City officially welcomed Mahomes to the ownership group on Tuesday. The former MVP and Super Bowl champion seems awfully excited about this opportunity.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to join Sporting Kansas City’s ownership team and strengthen my connection to the fans and the city I love,” Mahomes said, via Sporting Kansas City. “Sporting is a community-oriented club and I am excited to continue supporting the growth of soccer in Kansas City.”

Cliff Illig, the principal owner of Sporting Kansas City, sounds very excited about adding Mahomes to their ownership group.

“Patrick is a tremendous ambassador for Kansas City and we are delighted to welcome him to the Sporting Club ownership group,” Illig said. “In addition to achieving excellence on the field, he is deeply committed to giving back to the community and elevating the sport of soccer. Patrick is also accustomed to cultivating a winning culture, and we look forward to contending for championships at Children’s Mercy Park well into the future.”

Mahomes is certainly putting together an impressive career both on and off the football field.
