Dad’s body is still there.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes joked that he was a “DadBodSZN” after being body shamed by a netizen in January.
Post to Instagram On Wednesday, the NFL star was spotted hitting the gym with Chiefs receivers Hollywood Brown and Laci Rice.
During a gym gathering, Rice, 23, hilariously trolled Mahomes, 28, by wearing a T-shirt with a shirtless photo of Mahomes printed on it.
The star athlete’s wit comes nearly two months after an NFL video of the father-of-two celebrating his team’s AFC Championship victory went viral.
Many took to social media to shame his body amid expectations of what a professional athlete should look like.
“Fatric Calzones,” one hater slammed, while another added, “Patti Big Bodied.”
“When I saw Mahomes shirtless, I never thought I would feel better about looking shirtless,” a third troll wrote.
But just as many fans supported him.
“Look @PatrickMahomes. Most of us women really love our dads and prefer that,” one supporter wrote.
“What you can’t see or measure is @PatrickMahomes’ giant heart,” a second fan tweeted.
Mahomes also weighed in on the issue with a lighthearted joke, complaining on January 31st: 🤣🤣🤣 #DadBodSZN. ”
