Is that the most tainted sports championship you've witnessed?

[TBR]

Let me guess, spygate is nothing. This is exactly what 31 other franchises say about the Pats.

Of course it was. Their infraction was the location of their cameras and defiance of a trivial league memo. The act of filming the way they were was not illegal, and it was extremely common.

By comparison, this was brazenly handing a team a Super Bowl championship, with outrageous calls 2 weeks in a row. Particularly this one, where throwing that unjustified flag in the last minute effectively crowned the Chiefs winners.

 

[Guts]

Not tainted at all
The ending was the worst ending in SB history though

You don't throw that flag in that situation after not throwing it all game

 

[festy1986]

CRY BABIES. Accept that another team and player are building a legacy themselves. Y’all sound like insecure, spurned ex-boyfriends. It’s JETE-esque behavior.

Pats and Brady are untouchable to any common sense fan. Quit whining just because someone else has success.

What about the pathetic call? What about the same call that won the Rams the Superbowl last year?

That did or didn't happen?

The Pats got some calls too in SB 51. Just as an example, that holding call on the Falcons lineman drawn by hightower pushed the Falcons out of FG range. And it was Carl Cheffers who was the head referee that game too. I saw Edelman push off in SB49 on one of his touchdowns with no call. The reason the Eagles lost today was because they didn't score much in the second half.

NFL is rigged and has been for quite some time now. It’s obvious

 

[Kasmir]

Refs are deciding too many NFL games with calls and non-calls ands it threatens to ruin the sport. A great game tonight was ruined by a ******** call. The entire referee system in the NFL needs to be revisited.

There's zero defending that penalty/flag. Zero. It completely determined the winner of the Super Bowl.

To laugh it off and gaslight anyone who saw that happen with "ur just cry baby, insecure, etc." is the real childish response here. I'd feel extremely dirty if the Pats won a Super Bowl like this.

The thing is. I'm sure fans of other teams could look through games we've had and calls we have gotten and say the same thing.

 

[Schmo]

Nah. Chiefs beat a very good team.

Let's face it, Mahomes is on Peyton Manning and Big Ben's level.

I don't think you are childish. I've just experienced the same thing during our dynasty years and people saying refs were always on our side

Why the F would I care whether Kansas City wins or loses? I don’t. I don’t hate them or give two shts about them. I hate the Jets and Ravens, I’m completely ambivalent about the Chiefs. Doesn’t make the circumstances any less shady.

He's going to end up better than Big Ben imo

You're cherry picking and deflecting to obscure calls/no-calls because you can't defend what just happened. Quit it.

 

[VectorPrime]

No the 2002 NBA WCF will always be worse because we actually have actual evidence it was literally rigged but this was real real bad.

Call me crazy but the last two minutes of the Superbowl is not the time I wanna find out that the refs are gonna call a 50/50 call at best instead of just letting the olay go.

They could of easily called offensive holding too but surprisingly that didn't make the cut.

 

[jdlboot14]

I wanted to give it a chance, but I told my whole family before the game that as much as I wanted Philly to win (only because I reject the media's anointing of everything Chiefs), I knew the NFL would "make" the Chiefs win. And, at halftime I said, I know it's shaping up to be a "comeback".
I just was surprised how the Eagles fell flat in the 3rd to help it happen. But the obvious stupid holding call in that 3rd down situation is one of the worst calls to decide a game ever. There was the proof.

I don't deny the refs suck. Its just hard to believe that the nfl is rigging it for KC.

You've also experienced the Giants holding the entire Patriots defensive line on the Tyree play too.

You have a ref on record saying he almost blew that play dead because the QB was wrapped up but he didn't. Why?

Because it's the ****ing Superbowl and you let the 50/50s go.

Yeah, how about we don't have that discussion

Throwing that flag determined the outcome and crowned the Chiefs* champions. It's unanimous that flag was unjustified. No other Super Bowl has been decided on a flag thrown like this one was.

Conclusion: tainted. 100% tainted.
