In what has been a record-breaking season for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the 23-year-old quarterback has now created intense division following his controversial comments on Thursday.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Mahomes disclosed that he puts ketchup on his mac and cheese and even on his steak.

He’s got to go. I’m sure Andy will get good value for Mahomes. https://t.co/58UvJLwoiY

Mahomes’ decision-making with his food also led many to call into question whether he is still worthy of the NFL’s MVP award or if it should go to a quarterback who doesn’t tarnish a wonderful food.

Cmon Pat. He’s not even trying to win the MVP at this point. When do we have to start asking whether or not the Patrick Mahomes experiment is over? https://t.co/DN1bksUsT3

Guess we can give the MVP to Brees because no way Mahomes gets it now with this blemish https://t.co/NpZkrsaF8j

Of course, there were some who took the news not only as a positive, but further proof of Mahomes’ greatness.

Awareness fueled by ketchup on everything.
Once again, the People’s MVP. https://t.co/dppQOJu2Pq

I'm just sad this didn't go into my pre-draft metrics in 2017 so I could create a position higher than QB1.
