Following a significant outcry, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Purewal apologized on social media for his remarks against Patrick Mahomes.
He apologized on Twitter, saying that his competitive nature and love for Cincinnati got the best of him.
He closed the apology on a high note, cheering on the Bengals and promising to see the Chiefs on Sunday.
Purewal was, understandably, a Bengals supporter insulting the Chiefs’ player. He did, however, cross the narrow line between banter and outrage.
Nonetheless, because the mayor of Cincinnati has already apologized and the game has already begun, the controversy appears to be over.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals met in the NFL Conference Championships on January 29, 2023.
The Chiefs defeated the Bengals 23-20 in an exciting game highlighted by a brilliant performance by Patrick Mahomes, much to the chagrin of the mayor of Cincinnati.
The Chiefs will now face the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC champions, in Super Bowl LVII on February 13, 2023.
