VIDEO: Patrick Mahomes Calls for Permanent Ban on Giants Fan Who Stole Arm Sleeve from Child in Week 2 Game

New York, September 27, 2025 - In a notable statement following the NFL Week 2 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants, superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes strongly criticized the actions of a Giants fan who stole the arm sleeve he intended to gift to a young Chiefs fan on his 10th birthday. Mahomes did not hesitate to propose that the Giants' management permanently ban this individual from attending any of their games.

The incident occurred right after the Chiefs secured a convincing 22-9 victory over the Giants at MetLife Stadium. In a celebratory moment, Mahomes attempted to toss his arm sleeve—a meaningful memorabilia item—to a boy who was cheering for the Chiefs. However, a Giants fan, believed to be an adult woman, rushed in and snatched the item right in front of the boy, leaving him shocked as he exclaimed, "Yo, she just stole that from me!" The video clip of this mishap quickly went viral on social media, particularly on the platform X (formerly Twitter), garnering millions of views and critical comments.

Speaking to the press after the game, Patrick Mahomes expressed his outrage: "That was the gift I wanted to give for that boy's 10th birthday. She stole it right in front of the kid. This is disgusting and completely unfair to this young kid. No adult should ever steal from a child. I propose that the Giants' management permanently ban that person from any of their games."

Mahomes' call has received widespread support from the NFL fan community. Many users on X described the Giants fan's actions as "disgraceful behavior" and "unworthy of an adult." Some drew comparisons to similar incidents at other sporting events, such as the recent case where a Phillies fan snatched a baseball from a father and son. However, the woman's identity has not yet been publicly revealed, and there has been no official response from the New York Giants' management or the NFL regarding Mahomes' proposal.

This is not the first time fan-related incidents have sparked controversy in the NFL. Experts argue that such behavior not only harms children but also tarnishes the league's image. Mahomes, as one of the top stars, frequently engages in charitable activities and interactions with young fans, adding significant weight to his statement.

Currently, the boy—who was identified as celebrating his birthday at the game—has not received any compensation from the Chiefs or Giants. Fans hope that Mahomes' proposal will lead to concrete action to protect the positive atmosphere at stadiums. We will continue to update if there is new information from the parties involved.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
