Most of the complaints are regarding the refereeing, but many appear to be tired of having the same matchup.
THIS IS CRAZY.โ
On this X post, users expressed their unequivocal views. Some of them are
An X user penned, โThey Wouldnโt be โboycottingโ for a team that was 5-12 and perennially missing the playoffs. The fatigue, hate and conspiracies are real. Greatest compliment we could get.โ
An X user expressed, โThis couldnโt be further from the true and is nonsense propaganda. Ad sales are all-time high $8M for 30 seconds and last weekโs AFC CG set an all-time record for viewing. People can b***h all they want about refs. They will still watchโ
Another X user wrote, โYeah, theyโve been saying this for 2 years and each year itโs a record viewership. Most will watch just to see if the CHAMPS have a shot at losing๐โ
An X user scribbled, โI mean thereโs been super bowls I didnโt want to watch for whatever reason, it makes for a great hate watch. ๐ plus who doesnโt love a good Super Bowl party! One of the best days of the year. People will watch. And itโll be a great game!โ

An X user expressed, โThe only way the @NFL @nfloff and @nflcommish will notice we have had enough of the rigging is to hit them where it hurts. #boycottsuperbowlโ
Another X user wrote, โF**k that rigged bullshit #boycottsuperbowlโ
A third X user wrote, โPersonally, I think #boycottsuperbowl is a good idea, I mean why watch another rigged game where Kansas City, the newly appointed dynasty by the NFL be forced to win against a better team? Oh, and now Iโd have to watch Taylor swift againโฆIโm done!โ
A fourth X user penned, โYep, completely lost all respect for the
@NFL this year! This league is 100% scripted is controlling the games to get the results they want. What a joke this league is, you should be ashamed! #rigged #nflisajoke #fixed #boycottsuperbowlโ
A fifth X user shared, โIโm not naive enough to believe rigging never happened in the nfl before now, but the fact that they are doing it so blatantly tells me that either they think weโre that stupid, or they donโt care because they think weโre canโt do anything about it. So nope #boycottsuperbowlโ
