A heated debate erupted in Kansas City sports circles this week after veteran radio host Kevin Kietzman made body-shaming remarks about Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kietzman commented on recent social media photos of Mahomes, suggesting the two-time MVP looked “out of shape” and even calling him “fat,” sparking an immediate backlash from fans and those close to the athlete.

Bobby Stroupe, Mahomes’ longtime personal trainer and a key figure in his offseason regimen, didn’t let the comments slide. Taking to social media, Stroupe issued a fiery response defending his client and friend.

“It’s disappointing to see people in our own city try to tear down a leader who’s given everything to this community and this team,” Stroupe wrote. “Patrick is in the best shape of his career. He’s stronger, faster, and more focused than ever. Maybe spend less time judging bodies and more time appreciating greatness.”

Community Rallies Behind Mahomes

Chiefs fans quickly rallied behind Mahomes and Stroupe, flooding social media with messages of support and posting highlight reels of the quarterback’s on-field heroics. Many called out Kietzman for his “unprofessional” and “outdated” remarks, noting that Mahomes has led the team to multiple Super Bowl appearances and is widely regarded as one of the fittest and most resilient players in the NFL.

A Pattern of Criticism

This isn’t the first time Mahomes has faced criticism about his physique, but Stroupe’s response struck a chord with many in the sports world who are tired of body-shaming narratives in professional athletics.

“Athletes come in all shapes and sizes,” one fan posted. “What matters is performance—and Patrick delivers every single time.”

Moving Forward

As training camp approaches, Mahomes appears unfazed by the controversy, posting workout videos and motivational messages on his own channels. With his trainer and the Chiefs Kingdom firmly in his corner, the star quarterback is focused on the upcoming season—and proving doubters wrong once again.
