The Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

While the game was going on, ESPN and their off-shoot, Sportscenter, offered commentary by taking photos of Patrick Mahomes', QB for the Chiefs, face looking none too pleased.


Mahomes' fiancée, fitness influencer Brittany Matthews, slammed both tweets.

"Love the support of a major sports platform for one of the best players in the league," she tweeted sardonically at ESPN.

"Y'all are [trash] for this too," she tweeted at Sportscenter.

Matthews is currently pregnant with she and Mahomes' first child, and the due date is reportedly "coming up pretty quickly."

She also tweeted "Not how we wanted it to end, but 15 [Mahomes] played his heart out and I'm always and forever proud of him in everything he does!"

"Now let's have a baby."

Twitter found Matthews' slamming unnecessary and fired back at her with a series of tweets that called her out for previous tweets idolizing Tom Brady, quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and some racist old tweets among other things.





Matthews received a large number of these call-outs, causing her to be the butt of a few memes as well.





Matthews and Mahomes mother, Randi Mahomes, have a reputation for being fiercely defensive of Patrick online.

But where there are lashes, there shall be backlash as the internet quickly proved.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
