The creepy Super Bowl premonition nobody noticed until now
Once again, we’ve got the chief conspiracy theorists back online, this time with the Super Bowl.
The conspiracy theorists are back. OK, they never left. They’ve just been too bust trying to find Greenland on a globe. But their hoodies are semi-washed, their pizza boxes stacked next to them, and their cheese-puff-flavoured fingertips are running wildly over the oily desktop keyboard, turning their wildest dreams into ink on paper.
Brains calculating distances and angles like Evil Knievel‘s Head of Health & Safety, the internet ant farm has been in full swing since the Seattle Seahawks overcame the Los Angeles Rams to book their ticket to sunny California to ride the Super Bowl slide.
The New England Patriots, who beat the Denver Broncos, can finally cash in their fully-stamped loyalty card on the hotel deal they hope isn’t expired from 2018, and they will join them at Levi’s Stadium in early February.
But was it all planned? Did the NFL rig the system to get these two sides to the game?
Yep, this is really from September. Look all the way up front… https://t.co/zmhBHVXzJg

No, they didn’t, but there are plenty of people wearing grey zip-up tracksuit tops and Wal-Mart $5 t-shirts who do.
The latest ‘definitely true’ conspiracy theory bounding around the internet comes in the shape of a graphic posted by the NFL last September which resurfaced after the game. The artwork shows various players from all the teams across the nation walking to Levi’s Stadium on their way to the Super Bowl.
However, if you look closely, and the internet-erati have done just that, at the very front of the graphic you can see Sam Darnold and Drake Maye, of the Seahawks and Patriots respectively, closest to the trophy.
And so, the NFL’s graphic designer is once again the beating heart of a complex and centuries-old web of lies, deceit, and probably a lot of money. While things like a dead duck on a train line can stop fans from arriving on time and delay the game, the NFL has once again been proven to be a part of the global network that works tirelessly to influence results and control us all.
NFL really put Maye and Darnold closest to the Lombardi trophy back in September 🖊️ https://t.co/W5M6BS4z5i

Of course, that’s not true. Because if you actually look at the graphic, there are plenty of players on the line closest to the trophy. But that doesn’t feed the beast, that doesn’t keep the hoodies from eating cheese puffs and telling you that Climate Change isn’t real.
