Sterling Mahomes - English
Brittany and Patrick Mahomes have established themselves as more than just sports royalty – they’re crafting a family empire with deep roots in soccer.
Their daughter Sterling “Skye” Mahomes – adorably nicknamed “Dirty Sterling” by fans online – may already be eyed as the next member of the Kansas City Current roster.
Brittany Mahomes in love with shirtless Patrick Mahomes and his friends
Brittany, a former professional soccer player and co-founder of the Kansas City Current, has often showcased her children cheering from sidelines in Current gear. Sterling, born in February 2021, and her younger siblings Bronze (born 2022) and Golden (January 2025), have become familiar faces at NWSL matches.
Patrick, who joined Brittany as a co-owner in 2023, frequently shares his pride in them, posting memorable moments of Sterling at games and workouts. Fans have embraced Sterling’s nickname, citing a viral clip of her diving joyfully for a salty snack and then scrambling to rinse her hands. The playful moniker stuck.
A future Current star – already in the gameday stands
Despite her tender age, Sterling has been front and center at games, dressed in bright teal teddy jackets, waving flags, and soaking up the stadium electricity in Kansas City. Brittany captioned an Instagram Story: “My snuggle girl cheering on her Current!”
Sterling’s early presence and natural energy haven’t gone unnoticed by fans or front-office observers. After all, her entire upbringing has revolved around professional sports.
Speculation is growing that “Dirty” Sterling – a more affectionate nickname than serious scouting tag – might eventually receive honorary playing time or formal involvement with the Current. Not as a promotional stunt, but as part of the Mahomes vision of building a generational soccer legacy in Kansas City.
The team already embodies their family passions; Sterling’s natural connection to the game only strengthens that narrative.
Why the Mahomes vision could include Sterling one day
It’s easy to see how the concept fits: Sterling has already lived and breathed the Current – from Brittany’s co-founding of the club in 2020 to Patrick joining as minority owner in 2023.
She wears the team’s crest before she wears a backpack. If the club’s ties to the Mahomes family deepen over time, Sterling’s friendly reputation among fans and local media might make her an ideal ambassador-or eventual youth academy standout under the family’s banner.
This wouldn’t be unprecedented. Sports dynasties often begin with parental passion and evolve into on-field family legacies. Brittany’s own high-level soccer past (University of Texas-Tyler and pro experience in Iceland), combined with Patrick’s community investments and wide influence, could lay the foundation for Sterling’s future role – whether symbolic or athletic.
As the Current grow into their stadium and cultural presence, Sterling might eventually don uniform #27 or whatever the league assigns to honorary youth participants.
Regardless, her place in team lore already feels cemented – before she ever takes a professional pitch.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
