Now that's rich. Weak minded people are the ones who refuse to acknowledge blatant corruption when it's right in front of their faces. This has nothing to do with the Chiefs not winning. I've seen numerous games where it was painfully obvious the refs were steering it a certain direction. There's no reason they need to worry about anyone figuring it out, because most people are like you and take literally everything they see at face value without questioning it. The rest are mostly like me where we know we're getting fed a big pile of shit, but we're so addicted to the game we still can't stop watching.
It's always the same pattern. Team A gets a big play, oops! Doesn't count, phantom holding. Ends up punting. Team B gets stopped on 3rd down, oops! Nope, phantom PI on the defense. Team B ends up scoring. Rinse, repeat. Why is it in these certain games, the refs always seem to follow that same pattern of "incompetence?"
When you see it over and over and over again, it doesn't take a genius or even a*strong minded* person to figure it out. Just common sense.
