The NFL has never been short of drama, but for this year, fans are beginning to wonder whether it is a more scripted league than ever. The Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles had fans questioning rigging, even with the families of NFL players joining in on the debate. Nick Bosa’s mom, Cheryl Bosa, helped fuel the fire by posting an Instagram story calling on fans to “Boycott the Super Bowl!!!”
The Instagram Story That Made Everyone Talk
Cheryl Bosa’s post was not just an emotional outburst; it came with receipts. She posted a video clip of Christian McCaffrey jokingly wishing that both Super Bowl teams lose, and another one on questionable officiating in past games that involved the Chiefs. She even pointed out the lack of holding penalties during the previous Chiefs vs. 49ers Super Bowl and implied that the referees favored the former. Her bold “BOYCOTT THE SUPER BOWL!!!” message quickly went viral, reigniting conversations about whether the NFL is, in fact, scripted.

The Chiefs’ Controversial Road to the Super Bowl
The Chiefs’ journey to their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance hasn’t been without drama. In their AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills, several calls by the referees left fans scratching their heads. A pivotal fourth-quarter play was overturned in the Chiefs’ favor, sparking outrage. Critics like Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy even announced their disillusionment with the NFL, calling out the league for apparent biases.
A Super Bowl Made for TV?
Adding fuel to the fire is the Super Bowl LIX logo, released well before the season even began. Red and green—Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively—are prominent colors, which many argue was almost a given in this matchup. Some believe that the NFL prioritizes marketable storylines over fair competition, making the league more about entertainment than sport.
Is It All Just a Conspiracy?
The NFL has denied all allegations of rigging, saying that the outcomes are purely based on the players. However, Cheryl Bosa’s Instagram post, combined with years of “coincidences” and questionable calls, has left fans divided. As Super Bowl LIX approaches, fans will watch eagerly-or boycott in protest-debating whether they are witnessing unscripted sports greatness or a cleverly staged show.
