A video circulating on social media after Super Bowl LIX depicts a woman repeatedly pinning a doll that looks like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, leading to discussions online.

Woman goes viral for stabbing Patrick Mahomes voodoo doll

A video from Super Bowl LIX that’s been trending on social media platforms shows an ardent Philadelphia Eagles fan viciously sticking pins into a voodoo doll that looks like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. This passionate Eagles supporter, adorned in green, was spotted at the game in New Orleans repeatedly thrusting a pin into the heart of the miniature Mahomes figurine, complete with a white No. 15 jersey. The clip rapidly spread across Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit, garnering reactions from countless users as they watched this peculiar spectacle unfold.

Several spectators suggested that Mahomes’s subpar second-half play in the Chiefs’ loss against the Eagles might have been affected by the ritual, which some found disconcerting. One user on X platform mentioned, “He seemed pale and unwell to me, I thought it was stress.” Others expressed a mix of amusement and anger due to associations between voodoo and dark magic. Some Chiefs supporters even demanded that the NFL prohibit the woman from future matches, branding her actions as witchcraft and potentially hazardous.

The video sparked renewed discussions on how voodoo and hoodoo are often distorted in popular culture. Some viewers noted that the woman’s behavior seemed more aligned with hoodoo instead of voodoo. They clarified that authentic Vodou practitioners (Haitian Vodou) employ it as a means for spiritual communication with Loa, not to inflict harm.

Alternatively stated, others scoffed at the idea that a voodoo doll could have impacted the game’s result. One user from X quipped sarcastically, “Of course, Mahomes played poorly because of this. Not due to the five sacks or the offensive line, just the enchanted doll.” In contrast, some Chiefs supporters playfully suggested that Mahomes might have shattered the voodoo curse when he suddenly threw a breathtaking long pass later in the game.
