Ahead of the highly anticipated game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs, controversy has erupted over a stunt by Bills fans.
Pictures emerged of a Kermit the Frog puppet dressed as Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hanging from a pole outside the stadium. The puppet wore a jersey and wig to resemble the three-time Super Bowl winner.
The stunt has sparked debate on social media, with some questioning whether it crossed a line given Mahomes’ race. The quarterback has faced jokes throughout his career due to his unique voice, which has drawn comparisons to the Muppets character.
The debate has also extended to other teams’ antics, with Raiders players mocking Mahomes with a mini Kermit at training camp.
While some defend the Bills fans, arguing that the stunt is not racially motivated, others have called for better behavior from supporters.
