Conspiracy Theories and NFL Narratives

This chapter explores the interplay between sports media, fan perceptions, and the enduring conspiracy theories surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs, particularly focused on quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It critiques the media's framing of NFL officiating, discusses how narratives shape public opinion, and questions the tendency to attribute team success to conspiracy rather than strategy. Additionally, the chapter examines the dynamic role of villainy in sports storytelling and the implications for fan engagement and team image.
