Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 638 Acting vigorously and resolutely
The truth is revealed to the world.

First of all, the culprits should be the noble and arrogant New England fans at Gillette Stadium.

Secondly, the real protagonist is Mahomes, and Levi is just protecting his brother.

Thirdly, the so-called "life threat" was fictitious. Levi did not do anything that crossed the line, and there was not even a single swear word in the conversation.

The NFL did not respond immediately. Now it seems that it is investigating the truth intensively and handling the matter with great force. Even if it has not yet issued an official position, it can be seen that the league is vigilant and attaches great importance to the incident and treats it at the highest level.

It was actually less than twelve hours from the time the incident occurred to when Goodell came on the field.

Generally speaking, in such a difficult situation, investigation and evidence collection often takes some time. Not to mention ten days or half a month, three to five days is already the norm.

But the league realized that the longer the time went on, the more irreversible the damage might become, and they needed to act decisively to control the situation and limit the damage as quickly as possible.

and so.

As soon as Goodell appeared on the court, he did not even announce the official position of the league. He just calmly and objectively presented the evidence and the truth. This action can already show the attitude of the league.

Refuse to tolerate evil and refuse to smooth things over.

really!

Goodell's subsequent remarks confirmed this speculation.

"…We hope that all the rumors and slander can stop immediately. The league will open its arms to welcome players from all backgrounds around the world and have zero tolerance for discrimination…"

"Next, we will continue to conduct in-depth investigations to identify the fans who took the initiative to cause trouble, and hold meetings to discuss subsequent punishments. At the same time, we hope that the team can actively cooperate with the investigation, assist the league in eliminating such behavior, and create a clean and peaceful ideal competition environment for the players..."

blah blah blah.

What follows is just a series of official clichés. There is nothing new here, so it’s better not to listen to them.

But the reporters have already started to get ready.

Although Goodell did not point it out directly, his words and actions were clearly directed at the New England Patriots. He not only asked the New England Patriots to cooperate with the investigation, but also hinted that the New England Patriots should cooperate with the league to severely punish the fans who caused the incident.

Over the years, the relationship between the league's official stance and the New England Patriots has been elusive.

Although it may be said that a nest of snakes and rats is a nest, the league has always hoped that other teams can rise, because a monopoly is not good for ratings.

But when it comes to tit-for-tat, the New England Patriots have repeatedly crossed the line, and the league's punishments have been ineffective.

Naturally, some people think that the league and the New England Patriots are in cahoots, and that Goodell has a hand in the New England Patriots dynasty; others think that the league has been trying to suppress the New England Patriots, but the New England Patriots are too big and powerful to look down on the league, and the league has long lost its deterrent power over the New England Patriots.

There was a lot of discussion.

And now, is the league finally ready to take a tough stance against the New England Patriots?

Or, looking at it from another perspective, is the league finally ready to support the Kansas City Chiefs as a bridgehead against the New England Patriots?
At least, from all the signs so far, Goodell has been tough; and there is no room for maneuver in this incident.

Buzz, buzz buzz.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

After the NFL issued its official position through a press conference, it instantly caused an uproar on social networks.

The negative wave that was still rising before the press conference hit a wall head-on. The ferocious smile still remained on the corner of his mouth and had not completely calmed down. In the blink of an eye, he was hit by the backlash and retreated repeatedly. "The truth, this is the truth!"

"Sure enough, it's New England again, haha, those who understand will understand."

"I guess those New England fans who were supposed to inherit the throne didn't expect that they would hit a wall."

"Life threat? The only one in the league that dares to lie and confuse right and wrong is probably New England."

"Gillette Stadium guessed that the second-year quarterback was a soft persimmon and was prepared to create some psychological trauma for the opponent, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face. Haha, am I the only one who feels good about it?"

"Levi, good job, that's what you should do! Fight back with dignity and refuse to swallow your anger."

"So, is this a reversal? Not really. This is New England after all. Such a truth is not surprising at all."

"It's really scary when you think about it, so who posted the original video with the beginning and the end cut off?"

"Haha, don't be naive. Who else but the New England Patriots could have released that out-of-context video?"

"This is all a farce directed and performed by the New England Patriots themselves, but they did not expect the league to stand on Levi's side."

It was abuzz and couldn't be stopped.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg. Conspiracy theories are becoming more and more exaggerated and outrageous, and half of the social network is discussing this matter.

Moreover, the situation is getting worse and worse. The New England Patriots' bad deeds in the past few years have been dug up again and criticized, and there has been overwhelming complaints and attacks.

All this made the New England Patriots' huge fan base feel uncomfortable.

The New England Patriots defeated the Kansas City Chiefs and won a valuable victory in a strong confrontation. It should have been party time next, and even a Monday workday couldn't ruin the good mood; but in the end, no one paid attention to the outcome of the game, and instead the attention was drawn to the gossip off the field.

Monday was hell again.

The New England Patriots fans were immediately fed up, and regardless of the truth, they stiffened their necks and launched a counterattack, emphasizing to themselves that they were the victims, and that the Kansas City Chiefs and the league had joined forces to suppress them because they were worried that they would continue to reach the Super Bowl.

Some fans insist on waiting for the results of the league and the New England Patriots' investigation. Whether they are stubborn, naive, or rational, they are wholeheartedly waiting for the "official position" and refuse to admit anything as long as the New England Patriots or Belichick do not speak.

Dispute, stalemate.

But this remark also aroused the attention of netizens——

Yes, Belichick, the devil.

Behind all the "gate" incidents of the New England Patriots, we can see the lingering shadow of that cunning old man, and this time is probably no exception.

Perhaps, that video was leaked at the instigation of Belichick.

However, after the backlash, Belichick completely disappeared again, not making any comments from beginning to end and refusing all telephone interviews.

So, if this isn’t a trick, then what is?
And Brady, the face of the league, the flag of the NFL, the GOAT of football, who usually likes the spotlight and wants to express his opinions on everything, suddenly shut his mouth tightly, with an aloof attitude of staying out of it and not caring about worldly affairs?
One is Belichick, the other is Brady, the two flags of the New England Patriots have both fallen silent, but this has not calmed the noise. Instead, the suspicion of guilty conscience has caused the heat on social networks to continue to rise.

Things are beginning to break free from the reins and get out of control.
