KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the ownership group of the Kansas City Current, who play in the National Women’s Soccer League, have been meeting with WNBA officials about bringing an expansion franchise to the city. Mahomes confirmed the talks Thursday, saying that it was a “no-brainer” to try to bring women’s hoops to Kansas City. Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, frequently attend Current and Sporting KC matches, and the Chiefs quarterback was in a suite at Kauffman Stadium a few weeks ago to watch the Royals play the Guardians in the playoffs. He wants to continue investing in sports teams with an eye on his post-playing days. The unbeaten Chiefs play the Buccaneers on Monday night.
