When asked about the last time they spoke to their moms, the players had sweet responses that touched people's hearts.
It's an undeniable fact that most sons share an incomparable bond with their moms. Just like the special bond that fathers and daughters share, sons are always their mommas' little boys, no matter how old they get. Life may get busy and responsibilities might pile up - but some men never fail to make time for their loving mothers. The best example of this would be the football champions of the Kansas City Chiefs team, who embraced being "momma's boys" on social media. In a video shared by the Chiefs' official TikTok handle @chiefs, the players and coaches revealed the last time they spoke to their moms.
As the players walked by the camera, they were asked, "When was the last time you talked to your mom?" Xavier Worthy and Skyy Moore were quick to respond, "This morning," and they didn't have to think twice. Mecole Hardman, who was trailing behind, said that he hadn't spoken to his mom yet that day and casually added that he was going to call her right then. Ethan Driskell and Jawaan Taylor mentioned that they had spoken to their moms that morning and Taylor said, "Love you, mama," as he rushed to join his team. Chu Godrick shared his routine, saying, "I wake up. I say my prayers. I talk to my mama."
Ramzee Robinson hit the nail on its head, saying, "You ain't talking to your mama? We got a problem!" Meanwhile, Derrick Nnadi was seen dialing up his mother and chatting with her. Chiefs coach Terry Bradden shared that he talked to his mom every morning. "We pray together. Families that pray together stay together," he added. Many other players, including Malik Herring and Tershawn Wharton, excitedly expressed their love for their moms on camera. In a touching revelation, coach Dave Merritt said that the last time he spoke to his mom was in 2002. "Enjoy your moms, man. Call them," he added.
The video garnered nearly 11 million views in just three days and people can't help but relate to the outpouring of love for moms. "Thanks for sharing this, especially the last part with Coach Merritt. Don't ever take our moms for granted," said @siryacht. "It made my day to see that those big, strong men talk to their mom every morning and they pray together. Maybe there's hope," commented @usertricia6248. "Was not expecting to cry over a Chiefs TikTok today. It's time to call my mom," chimed in @bellamygrell.

Speaking of mother-son relationships, one woman redefined the term "boy mom" after many found the term "cringey." Payal Desai (@payalforstyle) shared a video on Instagram revealing what it's to be like a modern "boy mom" and why the "cringey" perspective is only because of "archaic belief." Desai explained that she would teach her sons to regulate their emotions, clean up after themselves, learn to do household chores and instill a healthy sense of competition in her two boys. She also highlighted the need to teach them to be empathetic. "The way you make someone feel is oftentimes the only thing they'll remember about you," she said.
