Mahomes Sparks Thanksgiving Outrage with Ketchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently generated significant controversy on Thanksgiving by pouring ketchup directly onto his turkey dinner in a new Adidas commercial. The ad depicted Mahomes at a traditional Thanksgiving feast, where he proceeded to cover a turkey leg with ketchup, stating, 'Thanksgiving, is a time to eat.'

This act immediately drew a strong reaction from viewers online, with many expressing disbelief and labeling the action "disgusting." Fans debated the appropriateness of using ketchup on turkey, with some even jokingly predicting a loss for the Chiefs in their upcoming game. However, a segment of fans also voiced support, referencing Mahomes' known affinity for the condiment and labeling it "The Return of the Ketchup."

Mahomes' love for ketchup is well-established; he became an ambassador for Hunt's in 2018 and has openly discussed his childhood habit of eating ketchup sandwiches and adding it to dishes like macaroni and cheese. Despite the mixed reactions, this Thanksgiving ad has once again highlighted his unique relationship with the popular condiment.
