The NFL and Super Bowl LIX took over New Orleans for a buzzing week, reminding fans and the media why the most unique city in America deserves to officially be in the Super Bowl rotation.
But NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also was forced to start the week by having to officially state that pro football wasn’t biased in favor of Patrick Mahomes’ team, while the season-long issue of pro-Chiefs refs only grew louder in New Orleans, hosting it’s first Super Bowl in 12 years.
Before Jalen Hurts vs Mahomes Part II in the big game, seemingly half of social media had already decided the outcome of the biggest sports event in the United States.
The NFL wanted the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, again, apparently.
Even though there was no proof and none of the internet conspiracy theories made sense.
“Because their team’s just not good enough,” Chelsea, a Chiefs fan from Kansas City, told talkSPORT on Sunday.
“They said that before when the Patriots were playing,” added Wendy, also a Chiefs supporter from KC.
“It’s fun when they hate you because you’re winning. That’s the fun part.”
