I don't know jack shit about football, but are the Patriots made up of people in KKK robes or something?
Super Bowl LI breakdown for kiwi's who don't follow American sports:
1: The Falcons have never won the Superbowl before but they were on fire this year and favored to win by many. The Patriots are the best team in the NFL currently and have been for several years.
2: The Patriots are one of the whitest teams in the NFL and the Falcons are one of the blackest. The NFL has had some miner controversy over Black players not standing for the national anthem.
3: Trump has stated that the Patriots are his favorite team, and he knows several members of the team (including Tom Brady) personally.
4: The Patriots are a divisive subject within football even when you ignore the political backdrop due to several miner rule violations in the recent past.
5: The half time show is a major part of the program and there was speculation (and hope among some) that Lady Gaga was going do some kind of political grandstanding i.e. shit on Trump
6: By the time the first half of the game was over the Falcons were destroying the Patriots 28-3.
7: The half time show was great but Lady Gaga disappointed a lot of snowflakes when she didn't set a moment aside to call Trump a Nazi.
8: In the third quarter the Patriots only managed to score one touchdown and missed their extra point which brought the game to 28-9.
9: No team had ever overcome a deficit of over 10 points in a Superbowl before so the Falcons were almost certain to win.
10: Social media was ablaze with people who have never even watched football celebrating The Patriots losing in such a manner.
11: But there were also people drawing comparisons to the election when everybody thought Trump was certain to lose.
12: Sure enough the Patriots miraculously clawed their way back and tied the game 28-28 with about a minute left on the clock.
13: The game went into overtime (a Superbowl first) and the Patriots won the coin toss which gave them the ball to start the new clock.
14: The Patriots score a touchdown and win the game 34-28.
15: Mass ass-hurt ensues, it was like a more tame version of election night.
It was by far the most entertaining thing to happen while the farms were down.
