Why would the Superbowl need to be rigged for her to do this? Everything the woman does is already reported and televised everywhere.

The theory is that it needs to be rigged so that the Chiefs are in the super bowl because she is linked to Chiefs player Travis Kelce. So Kelce playing in the Super Bowl gives her a very plausible reason for being there and for being heavily featured with him

Haven't the chiefs been in 3 of the last 4 SBs? They're a strong team, it's not much of a surprise.

[–] beardown@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

They're genuinely not a strong team this year. They have no passcatchers outside of Kelce and their rb is a 7th rounder. Obviously Mahomes is good, but that's about it. They're the weakest they've been since this dynasty began, which is partially because they've had weak draft picks from all of their recent success.

So it strains credulity a bit that they're in the super bowl again given this team. San Francisco should destroy them without much of an issue - we'll see if that's in the script though
