The Kansas City Chiefs have built a strong reputation for their community impact, winning over fans not just for their Super Bowl victories but for supporting broader causes. This season, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has driven the team to an undefeated streak, while his family takes a stand for a different kind of win supporting women’s sports.
Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs co-owner Clark Hunt, recently reignited the debate surrounding gender in sports. Through an Instagram story captioned “Save Women’s Sports,” Tavia shared a video clip that discussed the distinct challenges women face in sports. The video included comments by John McEnroe on tennis legend Serena Williams, where he argued that Williams, while the top female player, would rank far lower among male players. Tavia’s post has sparked conversation, adding a new dimension to the Chiefs‘ off-field advocacy.

Mahomes continues to be an influential advocate, promoting women’s sports at the TIME100 Gala in May. He highlighted the unique talent and stories that women athletes bring to sports, expressing his pride in the Mahomes family’s role in expanding these opportunities. Mahomes told the audience, “Women’s sports has everything-talent, narratives, and personalities. People are finally noticing that, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
From launching a purpose-built stadium for KC Current to advocating for equality in sports, the Chiefs family remains committed to elevating women’s sports. While Tavia Hunt’s posts spark discussions, Mahomes‘ hands-on approach with KC Current shows the couple’s influence extends far beyond Arrowhead Stadium, into the growing world of women’s athletics.
