You might have heard rumor that the Super Bowl was rigged. This originates from a satirical website known as Huzlers but with all satirical stories comes people who believe it no matter what you tell them.
The original story read:
“EAST RUTHERFORD – After the Seattle Seahawks victory over the Denver Broncos at the NFL’s 48th Super Bowl with a final score of 43-8, NFL officials have just discovered that the game was most likely rigged. NFL officials have just found clues that might prove the game was rigged. Officials believe the Broncos intentionally lost the championship in exchange for a large amount of money.”
As in all good comedy, the story does use rumors and conspiracy theories as we all know, Super Bowl rigging stories are nothing new.
