Terell Owens Seconds the 'Rigged' Claims
While the excitement for the championship game is settling in, the subject of incompetent officiating and biased calls towards the Kansas City Chiefs is not dying down. The Chiefs benefitting from some of the questionable calls by the referees have given birth to the "Rigged" trend on social media and as D-Day is approaching the fans and some of the experts are concerned about the quality of refereeing in advance.
The latest to enter the bracket of "NFL is rigged for the Chiefs" is none other than the former league superstar Terell Owens. In a recent appearance on a YouTube show, Owens opined on the whole "Rigged" claims and stated, "It Is What It Is".
Owens Calls Out Officiating Bias Toward the Chiefs "It's blatant and obvious... I never thought I would say games are rigged... It's unreal the amount of calls the Chiefs get," Owens said, sending shockwaves through the NFL community.
Owens' comments have come at a precarious time when the entire world's attention is on the decisions made by the refs. From questionable penalties that extend key drives to controversial no-calls in favour of Mahomes and Co., the noise related to NFL favoritism has only grown louder. With the Chiefs heading to yet another Super Bowl, Owens' statement has given further weight to the controversy. Owens' claims only highlight what has been asserted, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are favored because of their marketable value and the ability to engage more eyeballs.
