Kansas City Chiefs accused of buying the Super Bowl
Former San Francisco 49ers player Donte Whitner has reignited the age-old debate over the integrity of NFL games, alleging that Super Bowl LVIII was rigged against his former team in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Whitner made these assertions during an appearance on Kay Adams’ Up & Adams show, where he expressed his belief that the 49ers faced not only their opponents on the field but also unfair officiating.
“I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys,” Whitner stated, pointing out instances of what he perceived as biased calls favoring the Chiefs. “The 49ers played against Taylor Swift, the refs, and the Kansas City Chiefs. All three.”
However, Whitner’s claims are not isolated. Will Compton, a former NFL linebacker with nine seasons under his belt and experience playing for five different teams, echoed similar sentiments shortly after the Chiefs secured victory over the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
