NFL Fans Call for Boycott After Controversial Buffalo Bills Playoff Decisions
Facing another fourth-and-inches, the Buffalo Bills put the ball in quarterback Josh Allen's hands. Initially, it appeared that Allen was able to make a play forward for a first down.
However, officials ruled that Allen was just short of the line to gain. This decision was reviewed, but ultimately stood, indicating that there was insufficient video evidence to overturn the call.
The Kansas City Chiefs once again found themselves embroiled in a controversy over officiating.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy expressed his frustration, stating, "I'm quitting watching football. There is no other way to teach Roger Goodell a lesson. This is blatant cheating."
Other fans echoed the sentiment, calling for a boycott of the NFL and the upcoming Super Bowl:
- "I ask everybody to boycott the Super Bowl. This is rigged, the calls made against the Buffalo are ridiculous. Don't watch the Super Bowl," voiced one fan.
- "If the Chiefs win because of that terrible referee job when Allen clearly got the first down, people are going to quit viewing Chiefs games and boycott the NFL just like the NBA," another fan mentioned.
- "Owners of every team that had chances to win yet lost, as well as the Buffalo Bills who have never won, should boycott the NFL until the Chiefs' season is stricken," remarked a third fan.
- "The NFL has gotten too greedy. They assumed fans would accept blatant referee bias. Join the #SuperBowlBoycott movement and show the league that Super Bowl Sunday is just another Sunday," added a fourth.
- Another fan concluded, "A boycott against the NFL needs to happen. The Chiefs have made the Patriots of the 2000s seem like a tough team, and we, as fans, deserve better. Down with Goodell, down with the Chiefs, down with the refs, and down with the NFL."
Kansas City Chiefs Set To Meet The Philadelphia Eagles In The Super Bowl Again. The Chiefs will have a chance at history after a close 32-29 victory in the AFC Championship game. They are looking to become the first team to achieve a three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
They will face a familiar opponent in the Eagles, who decisively defeated the Commanders in the NFC Championship game earlier that same day. This matchup is a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago, where the Chiefs prevailed with a score of 38-35.
