NFL referees are accused of rigging yet another football game in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs, sending them to Super Bowl LIX. r/nfl users snap, blitz against u/nfl, and tackle every single comment that has a Chiefs flair.

Following the viral penalty incident on January 18th that helped the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Houston Texans in the National Football League playoffs, referees are once again accused of siding with the Chiefs during tonight's AFC championship game against the Buffalo Bills during which the Chiefs win 32 to 29.

One of the controversial calls happens in the second quarter, where a "simultaneous catch" is ruled a "completed pass". The replay is posted to r/NFL and the entire comment section disagrees along with the TV commentators. So many comments are apparently posted in response to this that the actual official Reddit game thread crashes.

Later on, during a key play near the end of the game, refs then rule that the Bills did not get first down despite commenters saying video evidence proves otherwise - a ruling that's considered a game-changing turning point that may have cost the Buffalo Bills a chance at the Super Bowl.

Shortly after, the Chiefs get another touchdown and take the lead, but the video post by the official NFL Reddit account is heavily downvoted. Users, angry at the NFL refs, rebel against the account:

Some speculate that the games were rigged for the Chiefs due to the team's tight end, Travis Kelce, boosting Super Bowl viewership numbers with his girlfriend Taylor Swift whom he is rumored to propose:

At least one user calls for a boycott of the upcoming Super Bowl:

BOYCOTT THE SUPERBOWL. The NFL clearly doesn't care about us. Let's hurt them where it really hurts. Don't watch the Superbowl. As a marketing manager I can tell you businesses care about the ratings of programs they pay to put ads on. We can't just sit idly by and let the NFL continue to run away with ratings. Don't watch it. The businesses will stop paying for ads and we can take this corrupt league down. Hold out until spring and watch the UFL if you need to. But don't watch this bullshit anymore. I'm begging you. Upvote if you agree. [it got -4 downvotes]

Meanwhile, if you are in r/NFL with a Chiefs flair and want to avoid any negative comment karma, it is best recommended you do not comment in the sub at all for the next several weeks.

Almost EVERY comment with a "Chiefs" flair gets downvoted and arguing ensues across multiple posts regarding the penalties:

  • Genuinely the worst call I’ve ever seen live with my own eyes. Fucking gene and Chris say it’s the wrong call and they’re normally all chiefs
    • [CHIEFS] You must not watch a lot of football.
      • Shut the fuck up
      • > No. I don't think I will.
      • > Shits rigged but you won’t ever admit it
      • > So how much money have you made betting on obviously rigged games?
      • > Will you admit it to me?
      • > It's not rigged. Now, how much money are you winning betting on these "rigged" games?
