Super Bowl Rigged? Stadium Fireworks Spark Controversy
7 Feb
Summary
- Stadium fireworks rehearsal showed Patriots colors.
- Fans believe this proves the Super Bowl outcome is predetermined.
- Alternative explanations for the colors are also suggested.
Recent footage from Levi's Stadium, the venue for Super Bowl LX, has surfaced online, fueling speculation that the championship game is fixed. The video captures a fireworks rehearsal, and the pyrotechnics displayed were in the red, white, and blue colors synonymous with the New England Patriots.
This visual has caused a stir among NFL fans, with many taking to social media to declare the game is rigged. They interpret the Patriots' colors in the fireworks as a sign that the outcome has already been scripted in their favor, with some explicitly stating the NFL appears rigged if New England triumphs.
However, alternative explanations have also been proposed for the fireworks' color scheme. It's possible stadium officials also tested pyrotechnics in Seattle Seahawks colors, or that the red, white, and blue display was intended for the American national anthem. The colors could also be a nod to Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's halftime performance, as those are the colors of the Puerto Rican flag.
The Super Bowl is set to commence at 3:30 p.m. PST in Santa Clara, with Bad Bunny's halftime show expected to follow shortly after 5 p.m.
