Bills fans hang Kermit doll in Mahomes jersey ahead of Chiefs game
Buffalo fans are being called out ahead of their team’s big game against the Kansas City Chiefs… after the Bills mafia dressed a Kermit the Frog doll as Patrick Mahomes and hung it on a pole outside the stadium.
Photos of the scene went viral shortly before the highly anticipated matchup between the two AFC powerhouses at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park … which showed the Muppets character decked out in a jersey and wig that resembled the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
The stunt is being talked about on social media, sparking a debate about whether it crosses the line since Mahomes is Black.
The Chiefs superstar has received frequent jokes over the course of his career for his unique voice… which has drawn comparisons to the iconic character.
He was even asked about it ahead of the Super Bowl in February…acknowledging that he was fully aware of the ongoing part.
Ties to Kermit have seeped into other teams’ antics… with Raiders players mocking the quarterback with a mini-Kermit during training camp in July.
Some are coming to the defense of the fan base… saying it has nothing to do with Mahomes’ race – but the opposition isn’t letting it pass and calling on Bills supporters to do better.
