In Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, with much fanfare surrounding the event, including Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. The article critiques the rampant conspiracy theories that allege the NFL games are scripted and that powerful figures manipulate outcomes. While acknowledging questionable refereeing that sometimes favors star players like Patrick Mahomes, it ultimately argues against the idea of rigged games and points out how the culture around football has shifted to distrust and blame amidst perceived injustices within the sport.
The real conspiracy is that our football-watching culture has devolved to this point where a significant slice of the populace refuses to accept outcomes it considers loathsome and rushes to blame dark, powerful, string-pullers in the shadows.
No, NFL games aren't rigged. Yes, dubious calls happen, some of which benefit Mahomes, one of the most transcendent players the sport has ever seen.
