So, not all critically thinking adults are as willing to dismiss the idea that the league influences outcomes as you are so willing to do. Again, where there is big money, there is always some dishonest dealings going on. Not a far-fetched idea at all.
People are naive to the fact that rigging is involved in their favorite sport, it takes out the enjoyment and afraid to realize the league might not like certain teams because of owners, money, politics, bettings... while favor other teams. FIFA already exposed rigging games, got money under the table from countries leaders, rigging WC hosting process. There's proof already because the US is salty about FIFA and get FBI involved. If a league involved many countries can be like that, good luck with your NFL and NBA.
After this game, sure if only we execute better and have a decent O-line, we might overcome it. But people need to realize KC makes mistakes too and in a close game, certain calls in favor of them is the difference.
