The committee tabled the resolution until its…

But then you throw in Mahomes, the league’s newly minted two-time MVP, along with transcendent tight end…

The contest for chair is between Helen Van Etten, a former Republican National Committee member, and Mike Brown, who promoted election conspiracy theories during an unsuccessful run for Kansas secretary of state last year.
