Drake Maye Speaks Out Fiercely Demanding Justice for Patriots Female Fan After She Was Robbed of the Last Towel Left by Her Late Mother During 33-15 Victory at Gillette
Foxborough, Massachusetts – 04/12/2025
The NFL witnessed yet another heartbreaking moment when a 1-minute-56-second video spread like wildfire on social media last night. In the clip, a female Patriots fan is seen trembling and crying in the stadium bathroom after the Patriots–Giants game. She recounts how a group of Giants fans rushed up and snatched the Terrible Towel she always carried to honor her late mother. The story instantly shook the entire Patriots community.
The girl shared that this towel was embroidered with her mother's final message, a keepsake she carried to every game to feel her mom was still by her side. As she recounted it, her voice choked up, her hands shaking as she said: “That was the last thing my mom left me… and they took it away.” Thousands of Patriots fans expressed outrage and heartbreak over the incident, turning the clip into the social media focal point in just hours.

Immediately after the video went viral, star quarterback Drake Maye took action. New England's young leader — who is becoming the team's new emotional icon — reposted the clip with a powerful message calling on the entire NFL to help find the sacred towel: “Football can be brutal, but a fan's pain should never be touched. That's the last keepsake her mom left her — and we won't let it disappear in silence. Patriots Nation, stand up for her.”
The hashtag #BringHerTowelHome exploded instantly. Patriots fans jumped into action, searching for clues and demanding the stadium and game organizers provide security camera footage. Even more surprisingly, many genuine Giants fans spoke out, condemning the shameful behavior of the troublemaking group and volunteering to help identify the culprits to deliver justice for the girl.
The NFL confirmed it is coordinating with the Patriots and stadium security to gather all video data. For New England, the Terrible Towel — or any symbol of loyalty — is never just a souvenir. It is memory, it is love, it is the heart of a fan. And for that girl, it is the last piece of her mother on earth. The battle to find the towel and heal that pain has just begun. But thanks to Drake Maye, now the entire Patriots Nation is fighting alongside her.
