Patrick Mahomes Faced Racism When Booking a Hotel Room, Just Because His Dad is Black – The Receptionist Made a Serious Mistake!
On a bright and peaceful morning, Patrick Mahomes, dressed in a sharp black suit, stepped out of his sleek black SUV and into the modest yet respectable Regency Heights Hotel. Today, Patrick wasn’t the larger-than-life football star; he was just another guest, a man in a suit, checking in like anyone else. He wasn’t expecting VIP treatment or any special recognition. Instead, Patrick was on a quiet mission to observe how people treated others when they didn’t know who they were.
The sun had just begun its slow rise, casting a soft golden hue over the streets. The city was still waking up, the occasional hum of passing cars breaking the peaceful silence. Patrick paused for a moment outside the hotel, taking in the tranquil morning, before heading inside. The lobby was a simple, functional space—nothing extravagant, just clean lines and neutral colors that whispered comfort. A small café in the corner filled the air with the scent of fresh coffee, and guests were scattered about, sipping drinks and scrolling through their phones.
Patrick’s eyes quickly landed on the front desk, where a young woman named Annie sat behind the counter, her focus entirely on her phone. Despite Patrick’s towering presence, she didn’t look up, didn’t acknowledge him, her posture a picture of disinterest. He stood there for a moment, waiting. Nothing. No greeting, no smile, no recognition. His massive frame and perfectly tailored suit should have been enough to at least garner a glance. Yet Annie ignored him completely.
For most people, this would have been just another instance of bad service. But for Patrick, this was exactly why he was there. He had lived through countless situations where he had been dismissed or overlooked, but today he wasn’t going to let this moment pass quietly. He had come to see how things worked when no one knew who he was, to observe how people treated him when they didn’t make assumptions about who he was or what he deserved.
With a deep breath, Patrick took a few slow steps toward the counter, resting his large hands on the smooth surface. His voice, when it finally broke the silence, was deep and steady.
“Good morning.”
Annie blinked, startled, and looked up. Her expression shifted from mild annoyance to forced politeness. She quickly checked his appearance, her face giving away that she hadn’t yet made the connection.
“Yeah, morning,” she replied flatly, her eyes still flicking back to her phone. “You got a reservation?”
Patrick smiled politely, though a flicker of something darker stirred within him. He had seen this before—the indifference, the bare minimum effort. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to show her the reservation confirmation. Annie barely glanced at the screen before sighing, tapping a few keys into the computer. She didn’t ask for his name, nor did she verify any details—just inputting numbers and processing the transaction as if it were the most mundane of tasks.
Patrick’s mind started to work. Was this just a bad day for her? Or was this how she treated everyone? He had walked in dressed sharply, but had he not been dressed in a suit—had he worn casual clothes—would she have even bothered to give him the time of day?
He let the moment linger, just long enough for her to make her way through the check-in process. After handing him his key card, Annie didn’t meet his eyes, didn’t offer any pleasantries. She was already shifting her focus to the next guest in line, a well-dressed businessman with a leather briefcase in hand.
Patrick stood silently for a moment, observing. He had already guessed how this would go. The businessman was treated with an entirely different level of attention and care. Annie greeted him immediately, her posture shifting, her tone suddenly bright and professional. Everything she hadn’t been with Patrick.
It wasn’t personal. It wasn’t intentional. But it was real, and Patrick could see it clearly. It was a moment of quiet, subtle discrimination—the kind that wasn’t loud, the kind that didn’t show itself in overt hostility, but in actions nonetheless. He wasn’t surprised. In fact, he had expected it.
Patrick didn’t react immediately, but instead, he watched. He allowed Annie to finish engaging with the businessman, and then, without a word, he turned and walked away, heading toward the lounge area. He wasn’t upset—he had come here to observe, to test the system. What he hadn’t expected was how the entire hotel would eventually reveal itself, how the pattern would become so obvious.
It didn’t take long. From his seat in the lounge, Patrick watched as more guests arrived. Some were treated with warmth, others with indifference. He observed the small actions, the subtle ways people were treated differently based on what they appeared to be. Annie’s behavior was becoming more obvious. She had already decided who deserved her full attention and who didn’t. And now, as Patrick sat back in the quiet lounge, he couldn’t ignore what he had just witnessed.
An hour later, a familiar face entered the hotel lobby. A well-dressed man with an expensive suit and a briefcase. Annie’s posture immediately straightened. Her voice became warm, professional. The man was greeted promptly, and the check-in process was handled efficiently. This was the moment Patrick had been waiting for. He stood up slowly and walked back toward the front desk, deliberately placing himself in the path of the next guest.
When he reached the desk, he paused for a moment, allowing the man ahead of him to finish his check-in. Then he turned toward Annie. She didn’t seem to recognize him. Her eyes flickered to him for a moment, a glance that was quickly dismissed. Patrick stood still, waiting, allowing the tension to build.
“Excuse me, Annie,” Patrick’s voice was calm but firm. “I have a question.”
Annie looked at him, clearly startled, her hands still poised over the keyboard. “Uh, yes, can I help you?” she asked, her tone now a little less confident than before.
Patrick leaned forward slightly, his massive frame leaning over the counter. “If I had walked in here dressed differently, would I have received the same treatment?” His question hung in the air, heavier than any accusation he could have made.
Annie’s eyes widened, the realization slowly dawning on her. The businessman, who had been given such care and attention, had been treated with respect because he looked important. Patrick, despite his sharp suit, had not received the same respect.
“I…I’m not sure what you mean,” Annie stammered.
Patrick’s deep voice remained steady as he explained. “When you looked at me, you saw a man in a suit. But I’m not just another man in a suit. I’m Patrick Mahomes. The same man you barely acknowledged moments ago, yet the moment you saw the businessman, your entire attitude changed. You decided who mattered, and who didn’t.”
There was a long silence as the words sank in. Annie seemed at a loss for words, caught in the realization of her actions. Patrick wasn’t trying to humiliate her; he was trying to show her the reality of what had happened. The truth was undeniable.
“Respect isn’t about what people wear, or what they do,” Patrick said, his voice softening. “It’s about how we treat each other, no matter who we are.”
Annie’s face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes darting around nervously. She had just been shown the invisible bias that most people didn’t even realize they were perpetuating. The moment hung in the air like a thick fog, but it wasn’t just a lesson for Annie—it was one for everyone who had witnessed the exchange.
Patrick didn’t linger. He turned away and made his way toward the exit, his mind already turning over what had just transpired. It wasn’t enough to be silent in the face of inequality; sometimes, you had to make people see it for themselves.
As Patrick stepped out into the bright morning, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. He had made a difference—not just by confronting Annie, but by challenging the system that allowed such subtle, ingrained discrimination to continue unchecked. And as he walked down the steps of the hotel, he knew that this moment, small as it seemed, would ripple out into something much bigger.
Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Caught With Open Coors Beer in Car Before Third DWI Arrest
Patrick Mahomes‘ dad must like Coors beer as much as the NFL does. Nearly one year after the two-time MVP promoted the beer brand, his father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was pulled over with an open 16-ounce Coors beer in the center console of his vehicle when police arrested him for his third driving while intoxicated (DWI), RadarOnline.com has learned.
The affidavit spilled the details of the arrest. It revealed he was stopped by police around 8:30 PM in Tyler, Texas, on Saturday after noticing he was driving slower than the rest of the traffic and had expired tags. Mahomes Sr. — who is a former MLB pitcher — admitted he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar” before he got behind the wheel.

The father of the Kansas City Chief’s quarterback failed a series of Standardized Field Sobriety tests, according to the affidavit obtained by the New York Post on Monday.
Per the documents, Mahomes Sr. displayed four clues of intoxication during an eye test, five clues when he performed the Walk and Turn test, and two clues when he attempted to stand on one leg.

“Based on the totality of the circumstances,” the arresting officer noted, citing probable cause, “I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place.”
Mahomes’ father was booked on a felony charge of DWI.
He could be in serious trouble, considering it marks his third one since 2008. Mahomes Sr. could face up to 10 years behind bars and a $10k fine if convicted, according to Texas law.

Mahomes is set to play in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas this weekend. He’s expected to address his father’s arrest tonight during the annual Super Bowl Opening Night press conference.
Mahomes Sr. can still cheer his son on during the biggest game of the year — if the NFL will have him. The older Mahomes didn’t get slapped with a travel ban as a part of his bond condition, meaning he can make his way to Sin City for Saturday’s show.
