Kansas City Chiefs coach threatened to put players on reserve if they watched Rihanna perform at Super Bowl
concert Rihanna at the super bowl captured the spotlight around the world. Ending a hiatus in her musical career, the singer won the second largest audience in the history of the event, second only to the performance of Katy Perry in 2015. Despite this, important figures present at the stadium could not watch the halftime show: the players.
As revealed by Patrick Mahomesof Kansas City Chiefsin the program Jimmy KimmelLive (via NME), the team coach forbade the athletes to follow the presentation of Rihannawith the threat that they would be on the bench in the final stages.
“I heard the show was great. The technician Andy Reid told us: ‘If you go out to watch the performance, you can keep walking, because you won’t play the rest of the match.'”, he said, without explaining the coach’s reasons.
The presenter even joked about the pregnancy of Rihanna asking Mohammed whether the singer could use her name to baptize her next child. “My name has already been taken by my son, Patrick Lavon Mahomes III. So, I don’t know if it’s still allowed to use that one. She will need to choose another one,” countered the player.
