Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1228 The pain of skin cutting
"Gillette Incident 2.0", "Spygate 2.0".

Heavy rain!

The development of things was completely off track. In just a few days, the New England Patriots once again became the public enemy of the league and the target of everyone's attack.

There is no harm without comparison.

Look at the Kansas City Chiefs. Over the past three years, led by team leader Levi, the team has demonstrated a tenacious and strong playing spirit. No matter what difficulties or setbacks they face, they always face them head-on, fight to the last moment with all their might, and then face the results of the game together without regrets.

The team's attitude of uniting together to fight side by side and deciding the outcome fairly in the face of adversity is winning more and more fans.

Look at the New England Patriots, they are high and mighty, arrogant and rude, claiming to be noble and looking down on and discriminating against others. They even look down on New York and Los Angeles, and they stick to the pride of the blue-blooded aristocracy; but behind the scenes they do evil things, use any means necessary, and rob people in a dirty and ugly way.

Of course, the real world is not a fairy tale. These professional teams have blood or stains on their hands to varying degrees, and no one is absolutely clean.

But the point is that the New England Patriots have been repeatedly warned and have been blatantly incorrigible. Even when they have done something wrong, they do not repent. They chase after others when they do something wrong, but turn a blind eye to their own mistakes. Their arrogance and arrogance of being lenient with themselves and strict with others is laughable.

Really...haha.

Sure enough, no comparison does no harm.

In fact, the common opponent of the entire league this season is the Kansas City Chiefs. All teams and all fans are paying attention: Who can defeat the Kansas City Chiefs?

Whether it's the pace of the three consecutive championships or the unstoppable momentum in the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs are becoming the target that everyone wants to beat.

This week, the powerful clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots is a collective carnival for the league. Everyone can watch and eat melons, bring melon seeds, popcorn, licorice candies and piles of beer, and sit on the mountain to watch the fight. Although they cannot cheer for any team and cannot bear to see the winners celebrating wantonly, no matter who wins in the end, it means that at least one "annoying" team loses.

When all is said and done, the bystanders are the biggest winners.

It's a party no one wants to miss.

But now, things have changed.

Between the two new and old kings, the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots, the Kansas City Chiefs easily stood out and became people's hero. In front of the unscrupulous, hideous, and cold-blooded New England Patriots, the image that the Kansas City Chiefs have established over the past three seasons is what competitive sports should have.

"Heroes vs. Villains".

The answer is out.

If one had to choose between the two teams, there is no doubt that the Kansas Chiefs, who faced victory and defeat with dignity and met challenges with honor, would easily win the cheers of the people.

"Even though at the end of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs have achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in the NFL's half-century history, which is enviable and envious, at least they are still a role model, a role model that is admired, desired and worshipped. We are willing to applaud their victory."

Things are not easy. It is never easy to calmly accept one's failure in competitive sports.

But if the premise is that the Kansas City Chiefs completely destroy the dynasty that the New England Patriots have built over the past 20 years, it would be much simpler.

Making a choice is not as difficult as you might imagine.

The new and old hatreds accumulated over the years finally could no longer be controlled and broke out completely -

Severe punishment!

The league must punish severely, set standards, and make an example of others, otherwise such things will continue to happen and may eventually destroy the sport. The New England Patriots are a typical example, a negative, bad, and awful example. They represent the darkest and most unbearable side of competitive sports. Although everyone knows that where there is light, there must be darkness, but now that the matter has surfaced, the league must give a severe and positive blow.

No mercy!

Massive protests and condemnations have spread not only on social networks, but also on television, radio, newspapers and other media.

The seriousness of the situation is getting out of control.

Not only did Goodell realize the seriousness of the situation, but everyone in the New England Patriots also felt the turmoil and uncertainty that was about to come.

Now, this is no longer just a game of interests between the New England Patriots and the league, but a game between the league and the New England Patriots that the other 31 teams are united in order to defend the league's image. Unless the New England Patriots can win the support of their allies in the league, they will be isolated and helpless and have no chance.

That's exactly the problem.

The New England Patriots don't have as many allies in the league as the Dallas Cowboys. The arrogance and arrogance of the New England region have not offended anyone over the years.

then.

At the first time, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and head coach Belichick both responded:
Apology. Review. Commitment.

The standard three-piece set can minimize the negative impact and recover the losses.

Kraft and Belichick took the right stance, but this time they failed to meet the expectations of netizens because they had seen this scene too many times. No one believed that the New England Patriots were willing to truly reflect on themselves, and the so-called apology was just a performance to calm public opinion.

"Go back", "Put away your ugly faces", "Apologize here and continue", "The face of a scumbag", "Your tricks won't work this time".

The scolding still couldn't stop -

They need the New England Patriots to really feel the pain.

The impact of the entire incident is far beyond imagination.

When the New England Patriots' "spygate" scandal occurred in 2007, the New Orleans Saints' "bountygate" scandal occurred in 2012, and the New England Patriots' "deflategate" scandal occurred in 2015, social networks had just emerged and their influence and coverage were relatively limited, so the public opinion storms at the time were difficult to directly feel with the naked eye or physical sense.

But the situation now is different.

Social networks have become widely used, protests and attacks, complaints and insults are overwhelming, and the surge in traffic has set off a tsunami-like outburst.

In just a few hours, the Internet was almost paralyzed, and netizens collectively attacked the New England Patriots. Such a scene was definitely the first time in the league.

In 2015, after the New England Patriots' "deflation scandal," Brady's personal jersey sales increased instead of decreasing. Fans in the New England region encouraged the team to do whatever it takes to win with such an attitude. Whether it was believing in Brady's innocence or advocating that victory should cover up everything, they set a terrible example for the league, which made the New England Patriots fearless and lawless.

In the end, the league's punishment came to nothing.

This incident has long been forgotten in New England, but fans in other parts of North America still feel ashamed of it. This is undoubtedly a dark moment that tarnishes the image of the NFL and is also the first impression of other competitive sports on football.

This time, they refused to repeat the same mistake, and they made the New England Patriots pay a heavy price.
