Conspiracy theories have become even more popular than professional football with some folks.
Near the end of the 2022-23 season, the idea that the NFL is scripted was born out of an elaborate joke that former Texans running back Arian Foster told on a podcast. He claimed the league literally sends players scripts for what’s going to happen before the season begins. Though hilariously and obviously untrue the idea took off, especially with the… imaginative crowd on social media that thinks Bills safety Damar Hamlin died from taking the COVID-19 vaccine and has been replaced by a clone.
Don’t laugh too hard – because the rigged NFL storyline is a relatively popular idea with Seahawks fans. The data comes from BetOnline.AG, which shows they have the fifth-highest percentage of tweets about it.
There’s a lot to unpack here, from the comical entitlement of Cowboys fans, to the fact that the Rams literally won the Super Bowl the previous year. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that Jets fans have suffered enough to know that a loss is a loss.
