Patrick Mahomes Request for Retirement in Kansas City Chiefs was hijacked by the team because of this.

Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have been filmed leaving Kansas City for their White House meeting with President Biden.
The Chiefs are due to visit the White House on Friday to celebrate the NFL team’s third Super Bowl victory in five years.
The entire team is expected to participate in the event on the South Lawn, for the second time in two years. But one person whose presence is not anticipated is singer Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of tight end Travis Kelce.
Biden will honor the Chiefs for a come-from-behind overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February.
Kelce and Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid all looked sharp in suits. Rashee Rice and Wanya Morris – who have both had legal troubles this offseason – also posed together as they got off the plane later on.
It’s long-standing tradition for championship sports teams, both professional and collegiate, to be invited to the White House.

The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl three times in the past five years. In 2023, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, first lady Jill Biden’s favorite football team. She grew up near Philadelphia and attended the game.
Kansas City also defeated San Francisco to claim the 2020 Super Bowl title.
The Chiefs shared on social media early Friday that ‘we’re celebrating our back-to-back championship seasons and victory in Super Bowl LVIII at the White House.’
Kicker Harrison Butker, who made headlines by assailing some of Biden’s policies during a commencement speech earlier this month, is expected to accompany his teammates to the White House.
Butker recently defended his comments, saying he had no regrets about expressing his beliefs.
In the May 16 speech at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, Butker congratulated the women who were receiving degrees and said most of them were probably more excited about getting married and having children.

He criticized some of Biden’s policy positions, including the Democratic president’s condemnation of the Supreme Court´s reversal of its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, and his advocacy for freedom of choice.
Abortion is an issue that Biden and his fellow Democrats hope to use to their advantage in the November elections.
Butker also tackled Biden’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has killed nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As for Swift, her absence was bound to disappoint many in the White House.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was left deflecting questions earlier this week about whether the 34-year-old singer-songwriter would show up.
‘That’s a good question,’ Jean-Pierre said. ‘I can’t speak to her schedule. But I know there’s a lot of interest in this building, on this campus.’
Swift was traveling abroad on her Eras tour, with a show scheduled Thursday in Madrid.
