Angry NFL fans want the league to conduct an investigation on the referees who were assigned the Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
Veteran referee Clete Blakeman and his crew called the highly-anticipated AFC Championship Game between the two NFL juggernauts. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs held on for a tight 32-29 victory to reach their fifth Super Bowl in five years while sending Josh Allen and company home emptyhanded.
The game, predictably, was not without controversy. For one, the refs called this a catch by Chiefs wideout Xavier Worthy when some thought it a) should have been called an interception by Bills safety Bill Bishop, or b) an incomplete pass since the ball appeared to hit the ground:
Secondly, Josh Allen was called short of a first down on a 4th-and-inches quarterback sneak in the final frame with his team up one point. Officials reviewed it and said he was still short, and the Chiefs went down for the go-ahead score and wouldn’t trail again.
Some NFL fans are so infuriated with the performance of the officials that they started an online petition at Change.org, calling for the league to investigate the refs in the Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship Game:
History suggests that the officials won’t be reprimanded by the league in any way, shape or form. Remember, all the league did to address the 2018 NOLA No-Call controversy was make pass interference calls and non-calls reviewable for one year before quickly scrapping it.
Bills Still Had Their Chances To Win AFC Championship Game
It’s easy to blame the officials here, but let’s not let the Bills off the hook. Their defense was non-existent for most of the game, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady curiously stopped using star running back James Cook in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.
Dalton Kincaid also had a chance to keep the season alive with a beautiful throw from Josh Allen, but the would-be catch fell through his hands. If he caught that, we wouldn’t be hearing so much about the officials.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
