Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will become a part owner of a third sports franchise in Kansas City.
Mahomes is joining his wife, Brittany, as part of the ownership group of the Kansas City Current, the National Women’s Soccer League team announced Tuesday. Brittany Mahomes already was part of the ownership group alongside Angie and Chris Long.
