Any other woke nfl fans? Do you remember when you thought wrestling was real too?

Any other woke nfl fans? Do you remember when you thought wrestling was real too?

It's literally formulaic. ~30 point lead blown? "Wow totally impossible! Never in FIFTY years has that happened!"
-Superbowl FIFTY-ONE
Patriots motto this year
-ONE MORE TIME
Hmm.
Patriots win during rough times in America.
And after Presidential elections.
Have to update your goats periodically to keep people talking.
Falcons allowed to get to superbowl, while building their new stadium.. But not allowed to win of course.(9ers much)
>This would have to be the greatest comeback in all of history! From the greatest QB-Coach-Patriotic team combo

I cant be the only one right?

I'm with you my dude. It's just how the world works. Too much money at stake for the elites and it's not against the law to rig sports. Tom Brady has an average skill set but he's their marketing puppet.

Everyone is saying how Roger Goodell hates the outcome. That is laughable. Patriots winning is far more of a story and thus better for the league. Goodell wanted this to happen.

Yeah sucks that you really have to disconnect yourself from the game and your team to realize it. They got me, but inb4 National Football Entertainment. (Not a falcons fan btw)

No fucking doubt.

All of the facemask grabbing and other highly blatant shit New England did that the refs ignored was ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I hate Atlanta, but it was so blatant that you'd have to be a moron not to at least wonder if something was going on behind the scenes.

Thanks exactly. And also I bet Mr.Mcmahon reeeeeally hated stone cold steve austin too. I was duped but I'm glad I didnt live my life being tricked. Nor have a team tattoo lol

I like to pay close attention to the team or particular playets that almost seem like they are literally told they wont win the game. What if you spent 30 years of your life to make it to an exclusive club of millionaires only to be told
>Nothin personal kid, but somebodys gotta lose.. And its u
And then u stand on the sidelines going.. Huh, well at least I make millions of dollars every year, and I'm KINDA part of the club now...

First, let me be clear: as a Vikings fan, I have no dog in this fight.

Having said that, this 'owl seriously makes me doubt the integrity and authenticity of the game; I think to say that 80% of the penalties called on Atlanta were "questionable" is pretty conservative.

The flag on the second two point conversion had zero justification.

Atlanta's defense having to deal with three mulligans in a row, when only one of the holding calls was justified, was appalling.

WWE has built a business around telling it's audience a story, and I'm starting to think the NFL has done the same thing.

I don't throw the "refball" accusation out lightly, but this game was pure refball after the second half.

During the game they even featured a spot on how many sports championships New England has produced over the years; isn't it fortuitous that things always seem to go right for clubs based in the most white, affluent, suburban, old money region in the country?

I'm not even angry, I wish I was, in all honesty, that's the problem: I don't feel anything, this game was so obviously rigged it's impossible to have any meaningful emotional response to it. I felt the same way I felt when the heel manages to win/retain a title through underhand methods.

It's short-term, impulsive, and masturbatory. I'm starting to think the NFL is comprised not of athletes, but entertainers.

I think I'm done giving a shit about football. At least I still have hockey and MMA.

My friends and I joked at halftime that the only way the Patriots could come back was through ritualistic sacrifice using goat blood. Then they came back. And many of their jerseys were stained red.

You get it. Except I dont have hockey or mma really. At least wrestling made you feel good. But the Patriots winning again is just too much. I'm like, you goys arent even trying anymore

This exactly. Patriots winning was a story, Falcons winning was no story. NFL knew who they wanted.

We're now going to get a lot of bullshit "Brady gets revenge on Goodell" articles.

If there is any justice in the world the NFL will continue its ratings decline into irrelevance.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Even if it's not rigged the actual game feels stale to me.

>Muh best 4th quarter evar

That wasn't good football. It was great drama I will grant you that. If that's what you want to see as I'm sure most everyone does then that's great for you, but it just was a sloppy game from front to back.

I was thinking the same thing when it was the 49ers and Ravens to be honest.

>My friends and I joked at halftime that the only way the Patriots could come back was through ritualistic sacrifice using goat blood. Then they came back. And many of their jerseys were stained red.
Kek. I enjoy the ritualistic bullshit in my media and music but now they've injected it into the game itself. Also Tom Brady is number 12. Seahawks fanbase ..the 12th man. White boot lickers win again. Almost as scripted as that last miracle interception by what that black guys name? Oh yeah, BUTLER. HAHA fuck nfl.. Cuckin wwe on how to really trick ppl

A conspiracy that vast would be impossible to keep a secret you silly willy.

No it would not.

Keeping people quiet, or making sure that only certain people are in the know, is really not that hard.

Would you say that the Patriots win was YUGE? Heh funny thing is I know like 1 Pats fan, even after all their years of "dominance"

Time will tell.

Will watch again when robots are allowed on the field tho

These are the same kind of people who believe 9/11 was an inside job and the moon landing was fake. It fits their little narrative so they run with it. Despite the fact that there's no evidence to back them up. Pretty sad imo

You must not interact with the same human race I do. Keeping secrets secret is hard.

I knew the rig was on when Matt Ryan's helmet "malfunctioned" and the announcers just kind of ignored it. The blackout was good television drama yes lol I hope to make some money off of this

Vegas plays a big role in this shit.

Impossible for this to be rigged. You faggots just cant accept the truth.
Here's what you faggots would be saying if Falcons won
>muh blacks win to fuck over trump
>muh MVP and superbowl win Ryan
>muh make Brady lose to continue GOAT discussion
>muh commish rigged cause he hates Brady

When they want something to happen it's not like they tell everyone in the league.

They tell a few people at the top, then a few more people to make things happen. Most people have plausible deniability

The NFL is entertainment. It's not a sporting club. They can do whatever they want.

I knew the fix was in when the announcers kept talking about how historic it would be.

>Matt Ryan's helmet "malfunctioned"
When was this?

how could they rig this? was edelmans catch prerecorded or what? get a hold of yourself

Yeah but how did they make this happen? Do you have any way to explain this?

>
>These are the same kind of people who believe 9/11 was an inside job and the moon landing was fake. It fits their little narrative so they run with it. Despite the fact that there's no evidence to back them up. Pretty sad imo
Lol and you are the kind of person that thinks this is all real? Trump is president, patriots win the superb owl, the falcons needed money for their new stadium, roger goodell v Tom Brady ala McMahon v Stone cold. Reality check time. Also your mother was the tooth fairy. MONEY SON

Vegas doesn't have to do shit but make sure there's relatively equal money on both sides in order to profit.

Is this a fallout thread for Falcon's fans that were anally nuked?

...

It's impossible for it to be staged/staged like WWE. I totally agree with that statement.

I do think it can be rigged. Those are two different things. They should have overcome that to win anyway, but they still choked it away.

I think he was being sarcastic but yeah I'd agree. It's like you are only told post millions of dollars, post experience in the league, and especially post CONTRACT. and if you agree, you get fame and fortune for playing a game you love to play anyway. Anyone who publicly disagrees is throwing their entire life away. Imagine throwing 30-40 years of your life away just so ppl could say "man that QB was a crazy loser"

I think the initial odds betting isnt enough. Which would explain the huge initial lead, pouring in probably record numbers of bets for the falcs

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams, you shill

>Impossible for this to be rigged. You faggots just cant accept the truth.
>Here's what you faggots would be saying if Falcons won
>>muh blacks win to fuck over trump
>>muh MVP and superbowl win Ryan
>>muh make Brady lose to continue GOAT discussion

IMPOSSIBLE? Really.
1. Why would anyone care other than falcon fans if they won. Exactly
2. Top offense wins Superbowl, not exactly headline news
3. No, the goat conversation is pretty much in the Jordan-Kobe arena now BECAUSE of the win
4. Yeah, the commissioner really hates 5 time sb winning tom brady lol
You are bait

Yeah but if it was being rigged then someone on the outside could uncover it. No matter how good you are you're going to leave some evidence. 50 years of Super Bowls and no one out of the hundreds of millions of people who watch the game has found a single shred of evidence. Shouldn't that tell you something?

If nothing else this game reminded me why I find NFL so difficult to watch.

Flags on every. Single. Fucking. Play.

Please, please, PLEASE tell the refs to fuck off.

Fox literally put on the screen before the game was over NEW ENGLAND WINS BY A TOUCHDOWN.
I know they are "explaining" the rules of overtime, but come on guys.

Um.. Beginning of the 3rd quarter? I think. He called a timeout. Announcers almost were mute about it

It's not a movie dude. I mean they are really playing football, the same way wrestlers are really playing wrestling. That was a dope catch. But patriots were always going to win this game. Even if they had to go into overtime

I'm OP, not falcons fan, actually like Tom Brady, still wanted to talk about this. All of the atlanta sheep are probably getting shitfaced and talking about bullshit calls or something

>plenty of evidence that WWE is rigged
>0 evidence the NFL is rigged

Really made me think

to people who think this is rigged: most people were rooting for the falcons. so why rig it for the pats?

The refs literally have a morning meeting before games to go over what to "look" for in the game. You implement your control directly into the game as much as possible. Refs that do as they are told ref the big game. Refs are employees, they do what they are told, theres plenty of evidence in almost every sport.

Oh, I missed the beginning of the 3rd.

Pic?

they're too dumb to realize that nfl wouldn't want one team blowing out the other if they could control it as much as they think.

obviously you could do things with the refs but I don't see that happening when each football team is like a competing nation.

Why would they keep rigging it to have pats win when there is 31 other teams.

Unless you think yankees winning all those times was rigged too or detroit redwings winning for massive amounts of time or any other sport with a dominant competitor in it.

Lol I'm not here to convince u. If you cant see with your eyes, your eyes dont work. It doesnt matter to me just wanted to share my 2cents

>Be paid 18 million a year to play football.
>be really good at it
>really want to win an owl.
>here's $10,000 lose the game please.
Senpai if you bribe them anything close to what they make in performance bonuses we'd all notice the cash.

>isn't it fortuitous that things always seem to go right for clubs based in the most white, affluent
you sound like one sad nigger desu

they dont do it through bribes they do it through blackmail and psychological manipulation

>refs have a meeting to help them do their jobs
>they're told to enforce the already agreed upon rules
>they proceed to enforce these rules
>fuggin rigged

None of this is evidence. It's not even circumstantial evidence. It barely even makes sense.

Patriots are the bad guys. Using mens hate to incite them into rooting and PAYING harder. As opposed to the good guy falcons winning and ppl in atlanta break some shit and everyone forget about football for a couple months. This win=more talking about football=more money.

Thanks for your shitty opinion. I guess.

Sorry watched it on stream but it wasnt a mistake or anything. It was on the last drive in overtime in the red zone. I dont think the nfl likes having games go to ot, so I knew pats would score a TOUCHDOWN first attempt

Feels like the games are rigged to get the maximum emotional response to the very end, either extreme depression/anger or extreme elation

last year's superbowl was kind of flat and then they had the ratings decline earlier this season, so they feel like they have to hit our emotions hard to keep people watching

you know MMA is rigged right?
literally wrestling storylines and gimmicks.

Blowouts=less money.
Ppl tune in hoping they will finally see the pats lose.
Pats have a much larger nation than falcons of course, they win=more money. They are expanding the teams slowly. They arent all separate owners, they are all teams of the NFL. Sharing revenue.

Except there are tons of people "on the outside" who believe its rigged and have documented evidence. Its also right there on the TV screen for you to watch. If you think that game was 100% real tonight, I don't know what to tell you. This guy (thefixisin.net) has written several books about it.

WME is after the UFC and trying to rip it apart

I dont think the entire game is rigged, but I think when they see certain situations, like a possible comeback, they start the rigging. they want to keep people watching

>have documented evidence

Then show me it.

>>Be paid 18 million a year to play football.
>>be really good at it
>>really want to win an owl.
>>here's $10,000 lose the game please.
>Senpai if you bribe them anything close to what they make in performance bonuses we'd all notice the cash.

More like
>Be paid rookie figures
>buy very expensive stuff because u know ur gonna be rich
>get to superbowl
"You work for us, if u dont do as we say you and your family will suffer. Especially because you only have nfl experience.
>resign contract and be happy to play a game for millions of bucks

You dont have to bribe your employees. They are your slaves that you pay lots of money to. Not because billionaires love giving away their money, but because it makes them "cool" and we watch and buy their overpriced jerseys

we have been blessed by kek with an abundance of good championships this year. usually the games are mediocre. no, games are not rigged (except for draymond getting suspended against the cavs ;)

It's true tho

this is retarded.

flag on the second 2 point conversion? you mean the offsides that was declined?

you know the refs wouldn't have rigged the game if ryan didn't fumble the ball right? that was scripted too? you guys are retarded.

>the amount of money made on this day is so exorbitant that it surpasses the net income many countries accumulate over the course of a year
>Impossible for this to be rigged

How fucking idiotic can you be? Think about it when you're mind is sober from the beer and whatever heart-attack inducing shit you ate.

Brb let me go get Roger Goodell to sign a piece of paper that says "NFL is totally faked by me to get more money" what kind of sherlock holmes bullshit are u expecting? An entire stadium blackout? Multiple coincidental electronic issues? "Missed" game changing calls? Calls that are almost never called find their way into the biggest game of the year? Numerology, symbolism, sports betting, the initial reason why the league was created in the first place? Ok then, I have no evidence good enough for you to ENTERTAIN this idea that football is 100% legit. Have fun at the casinos based user.

logical mind tells me it's not rigged at all
emotional mind tells me that there is more money involved with this one sporting event than any other televised event all year.. when there's that much money involved it doesn't seem like a stretch to say that a lot of parties care about the outcome

It's important for some people to know here. Just because you are happy being asleep doesnt mean other people are. I'm not gonna destroy the nfl with a damn Sup Forums post

This. And after every Superbowl (and increasingly after every NBA Championship) Sup Forums is full of sore losers whining that the whole thing is rigged. 10 years ago people weren't such crybabies. Is it so hard to believe that your team simply lost? That's kinda what happens in sports, one team wins and the other loses. Why all of a sudden is this such a difficult thing to understand?

"Best superbowl ever" they'll say. But if you know football you know something was up. They went too far this time.

Sup Forums is full of alex jones retards that think hillary clinton has epilepsy and the water supply is turning frogs gay and 9/11 was an inside job. remember that.

>10 years ago people weren't such crybabies
They absolutely were, most of them just didn't use Sup Forums back then.

>Falcons
>Good guys

Vick's poor dogs would argue otherwise

I don't think you can entirely rig any sports. But when the influence is so outrageous that nothing anything like that has happened in 50 years, it just looks silly.

Kek
>lately with the modern advances in sports and sports technology it seems that EVERY sport is getting better and better every year! Thanks frog God!

>nothing like that has happened before

what's your fucking point, idiot? how is that even an indicator?

>what kind of sherlock holmes bullshit are u expecting
A single piece of evidence would do.

>An entire stadium blackout?
Not evidence of anything really. Literally just a coincidence unless you can prove otherwise.

>Multiple coincidental electronic issues?
???

>Missed" game changing calls?
Easily attributable to human error. Would have to find a clear pattern indicating some higher level tampering.

>Calls that are almost never called find their way into the biggest game of the year?
You ignorance of the rules isn't evidence of anything besides your clear misunderstanding of the topic at hand.

>Numerology, symbolism, sports betting, the initial reason why the league was created in the first place?
I don't know if the betting is rigged but you have to prove the games themselves are rigged.

>Ok then, I have no evidence good enough for you
You don't have any evidence. That's my problem. It's not about the quality it's about the quantity or the complete lack of it. Look up what evidence actually is and then get back to me and see if you can point me to some.

better and better every year? no. a lot of crazy stuff happened in each sport this year. are you insinuating the leagues all started rigging things this year at the same time? why would you think that? next year when the world series and nba finals are decided in 5 games will you believe the nba and mlb simply got tired of rigging series for money?

>


>you know the refs wouldn't have rigged the game if ryan didn't fumble the ball right? that was scripted too? you guys are retarded.

Lol this guy believes the New England, Patriots, of the United States of America, just beat the Blacklanta Black falcons of Georgia, legitimately. In the revenue sharing nfl. Where companies pay billions of dollars for ad time. Im not a falcons fan but you must really love your football to not see this

>I could destroy the NFL with a single Sup Forums post

Thanks for the laugh man.

I wouldnt waste your time on that guy. He's asleep

shouldn't you be on pol

>
>>literally THIS mad
Actually Im not at all. Tom Brady is a good guy. Dont care about the gates, the sb win doesnt affect my team directly at all. Just a fan really watching the game with an open mind. Actually the patriots beating seattle in the sb was pretty funny and they arent on my list of teams I hate

>logical mind tells me it's not rigged at all
>emotional mind tells me that there is more money involved with this one sporting event than any other televised event all year.. when there's that much money involved it doesn't seem like a stretch to say that a lot of parties care about the outcome

Logic would actually support the game having fixed outcomes. Emotionally I want football to be real. Especially because Ive spent my real time and money investing in it.

Ok tard because michael vick is the qb for the falcons.. Get off my board

How are statistical anomalies important? You must be an atheist. Plz tell me if you are lol

Sports are rigged. Anyone who believes they aren't actually has autism. That being said, I enjoy watching sports for entertainment and banter. The NFL is great at making stories and it entertains me, I am not gonna stop watching because I know it is predetermined.

He was and all of that happened while he was their QB. Wouldn't be surprised if some other people in the organization took part in dogfighting rings or even currently do. They just weren't called on it because they aren't as high profile.

>edelman doesn't make that catch
>whole script fails

Yeah nah, shit isn't rigged. Unbelievable stuff happens all the time in life, not just sports.

"While we call these leagues "sports," they are in fact businesses.Their business is entertainment.The NFL, for one, has actually argued this fact before the Supreme Courtas recently as 2010. Being "entertainment," the leagues are legally entitled to do what is needed to entertain their audience, such as the creation and promotion of certain "storylines." Despite arguments to the contrary, this makes the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL on par withRoller DerbyandProfessional Wrestling."

The NFL is factually entertainment. Is that a good enough shred of evidence for you? That the tv show you are watching isn't happening organically?

True. I suppose it was only a matter to time before the conspiratard mentality would percolate down to sports.

This too I guess. Of course I was on other sports forums then and I didn't see this kind of shit but then again, yeah, Sup Forums.

They're really sports entertainment, and thus all professional sports belong in /asp/

Do you not understand how green text works? The warriors blew that huge lead. The cubs won. Now tom brady wins 5. At some point you have to stop calling it coincidence. People that want your money are not your friend. Businesses are not your friend pal
