The Super Bowl LIX saw the Kansas City Chiefs facing a wave of schadenfreude as they were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles. This event highlighted the growing trend in America to find joy in the misfortunes of others, particularly in relation to the Chiefs, who had become unpopular due to their recent dominance in the NFL and controversies. The halftime show, featuring Kendrick Lamar's diss of Drake, further exemplified this theme, as many reveled in the spectacle of failure and public embarrassment.
"The amount of people I know who will be rooting for the Eagles simply because they don't want the Chiefs to win is a beautiful thing. Hate conquers all."
"Schadenfreude's popularity has grown exponentially since the start of the millennium, according to Google's word-use tracker."
