Patrick Mahomessays he isn’t interested in publicly sharing his own political beliefs.

AfterDonald Trumppraised his wifeBrittany Mahomeson Wednesday, Sept. 11 forallegedly supporting himwhile putting downTaylor Swiftforendorsinghis opponent,Vice President Kamala Harris, Patrick was asked about his political views during a Chiefs press conference.

“I’ve always said, I don’t want my place or my platform to be used to endorse a candidate either way,” the quarterback, 28, told reporters. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.”

Patrick said he’s “going to refer back to that” stance of staying neutral “every time” he’s asked political questions, and cited his ability to do so as one of the things that “makes America so great.”

The three-time Super Bowl champion was then asked if his and Brittany’sdouble date to the US Openwith Swift, 34, and Travis Kelce was a way of showing “that people who have different philosophies” could spend time together, but the quarterback said he’s always spent time with people regardless of politics.

“Dating back, if you’ve seen my history, I’ve grown up with people from every aspect of life, and every background,” Patrick explained.

“I think the best thing about a football locker room, and kind of how I’ve grown up in baseball locker rooms, is that people come together and achieve a common goal,” Patrick continued, “and we talked about it a while back but I think if we can do that as a nation, I think we can get the best out of each other.”

The NFL star said he’s “not thinking about” someone’s “political views” when spending time with them. Instead, “I’m thinking about how they treat other people,” Patrick told reporters.

When specifically asked about Trump speaking positively about the reported support from Brittany, Patrick said, “I think at the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people,” adding, “I think you see Brittany does a lot in the community.”

“I can’t let that affect how I go about my business every single day,” Patrick concluded.
