A few NFL stars shared where they’ll fall on “Barbenheimer” weekend, as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce weighed in on the moviegoing experience, as did Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Mahomes was supportive of both films. However, since he is a girl dad, he said he’ll be seeing Barbie with his daughter. Kelce said he’d be seeing Barbie because, well, he doesn’t know what Oppenheimer is.
On the other side, Cousins said he’s a fan of real-life stories told on film so he’d be trying to get in a screening of Oppenheimer ahead of Vikings training camp.

As a bonus, NFL personalities Emmanuel Acho, Nate Burleson and MJ Acosta shared that they were all planning on seeing Barbie.
Are you more like Mahomes and Kelce and ready to see Barbie, or are you more like Cousins and ready to see Oppenheimer. We fully recommend you check out both when you can, perhaps in a double feature this weekend.
Maybe someone can show Kelce an Oppenheimer trailer while we’re at it?
