    The officiating crew they had at that game, and how many times they cut to her, it doesn’t make me tinfoil hat, but it does remind me the NFL is almost entirely profit driven.

    Also comparing comment threads (on YouTube) of the games yesterday, it’s amazing how much more derision is stirred when the officials seem to have bias (chiefs ravens), compared to when the game is called with restraint (49ers lions). The niners lions comments were downright civil, while Ravens and Chiefs were openly hostile.

      This is one of the worst leftovers of the Trump Cult and regime. Trump got his cultists all hooked on conspiracy theories, and their brainwashed minds were not ready for that level of addictive content, and it worked far too well. It has become similar to a religion in many ways. Everything that makes Our People look bad is an evil conspiracy. Anything that doesn’t work out well for Our People is a conspiracy against us.

      Aren’t you paying attention? She rigged the Superbowl so Joe Biden could score a touchdown. I think? Because she definitely couldn’t tell people to vote without rigging the Superbowl.

    Ok, so what if her favorite team loses the Superbowl and she still endorses Biden? What then? Like do they think that is her one chance to endorse a candidate?

      Don’t you get it? The Superbowl is her one chance to reach a large audience. If she doesn’t get to endorse him there, she may never get another chance to reach millions of people because platforms like that don’t exist outside of a couple major sporting events.

        I laughed!

        yesterday I was at the grocery store and the young lady at the register asked me if I was going to watch the big games today. I told her I didn’t really care about football aside from one team. She asked if I was going to watch the Superbowl and I said probably not. I asked if she was going to and she said yes because her hobby was Taylor Swift. It was a moment that I will remember for a while because it was fun to be in that space where this young lady who didn’t care about the game was excited about Taylor Swift being a part of it, and me whos watched it all my life could care less.

            It’s just a fun and silly way to say she deeply admires Taylor Swift. What else could that mean?

              I think it means that whenever she is done with work and stuff, and has a good bit of downtime, she will go into her Taylor Swift chamber where every surface is lovingly adorned with tastefully beautiful images of Taylor, where she will rest on a Taylor Swift pillow and listen to LPs of her music while watching videos of her interacting in social circles online.

        When you put it that way, yeah… she kind of doesn’t need this gig. At all. Plus, everything I’ve read suggests that doing this halftime show is a huge PITA anyway.

      Conservatives are so out of touch that they think that Taylor Swift still needs a platform after a record breaking music tour. If anything, she is the platform that the NFL needs for a female audience, not the other way around.

          The Pats went 5-11 in Belichick’s first year. The Cowboys went 1-15 in Jimmy Johnson’s first year. Sometimes you have to walk through the desert before you reach the promise land.

          True, but that led to Andy Reid. Also, for a 2-14 team, there were a ton of Pro Bowl players on the team that year. I just knew they’d be monsters with the right coach.

    If Biden, who is from Delaware, were able to rig a Super Bowl, he would have the Baltimore Ravens, which are significantly closer to Delaware and undoubtedly have lots of fans there, in the big game instead of the Kansas City Chefs, who are much farther away from Delaware.

      You jest, but I remember sitting in a bar in Vegas in the spring of 1994.

      There were two guys in there going on and on about how the Clintons had rigged college basketball to ensure an Arkansas championship.

            I’ve met a bunch of immigrants of all types on construction sites… those people are some of the nicest and hardest working people i’ve ever met. Then I have to work with conservative white men sometimes and… hoo boy. I can’t get off those job sites fast enough 😂

              On a worksite, you avoid the guys that travel one person to truck and associate with the 6 or 7 guys that pile out of a single truck.

          And also how Palestinians are simultaneously inferior animals who have to hide on tunnels and at the same time are a powerful cabal that infiltrated all the international agencies to make them antisemites. Fascism is one discourse wearing many disguises.

            Wait Einstein was Jewish and he knew Schrodinger. It all makes sense now. how can no one else see how obvious it all is. Schrodinger was warning the world about space Lasers when he came up with the paradox of a quantum superposition.

    Considering my Baltimore Ravens lost, this is clearly all rigged and the NFL wants Kelce to propose to Swift with the Superbowl in one hand.

    I’m making bets she’s the halftime show next year and she’ll drop a breakup song about Kelce in the show while he’s in the locker room … just to maximize the ratings and pr.

    Go Ravens. Go Niners.

    You know a conspiracy theory is psychotic when it presumes a massive multi-billion dollar corporation would manipulate consumers into supporting their left-wing agenda.

    They’re obviously doing it for the money.
