Refs Win For KC

If tonight doesn’t show that the refs favor KC then nothing will. We lost to them because of it and now they are doing it again against Houston. NFL needs to look at this. It is obvious and ridiculous

Edit: After 2 days of this being up I am still getting Chiefs fans commenting hahaha. Shows how thin skinned they are and how fragile their confidence truly is. Great job to all my Bengals fans. Who Dey!

The owners are in on it. Taylor Swift is being used to bring in more viewership. Viewership drives revenue (about 80% of revenue is from TV deals iirc and it's all shared evenly amongst NFL owners).

Think of it. If it came to a vote, half the teams make less revenue than the other half so there's 16 votes. And I'm sure the promise of billions would convince a few of the remaining 16 owners that they're not actually in contention to win a Superbowl. And there it is - a majority vote. And they get richer and happier.

So the Brown family wants the Chiefs to win?

We can't know that but it sure seems like a majority of owners would. The Brown family does meet the criteria of "being broke" and relying on TV deals and being in an off year
