The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Sunday, thanks to a great fourth quarter comeback from MVP Patrick Mahomes.
After the game, President Donald Trump tweeted out a congratulations to the team, and also said the side represented the “Great State of Kansas” with the win.
The Kansas City Chiefs play in Kansas City, Missouri. While there is a Kansas City, Kansas which lies just across the border and neighbors the Missouri city, that … is not where the Chiefs play.
Trump (or his team) deleted the tweet shortly after it went up, but plenty of people caught screenshots. Here it is:
A corrected tweet went up shortly thereafter:
Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game and a fantastic comeback under immense pressure. We are proud of you and the Great State of Missouri. You are true Champions!
