Rumor Review
Patrick Mahomes’ doctored shirt
A social media post showed Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes wearing a shirt with doctored text. The doctored image included the words “The Great State of Kansas” printed on an outline of the state of Missouri.
What he actually wore
Mahomes wore a shirt that said “SHOWTIME” with his jersey number (15) in the original photo. His agent tweeted the photo after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 2.
Prompted by Trump tweet
President Donald Trump made an error in a tweet after the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, saying that the champion Kansas City Chiefs “represented the Great State of Kansas…so very well.” Trump deleted the tweet and corrected the mistake in a second tweet less than 12 minutes later.
