It doesn't matter whether it's Bengals fans, the media, other NFL fans, etc. the crying over the Chiefs/Bengals game is like nothing I've ever seen before.
There wasn't some super obvious bad call/non-call either like the Saints/Rams that one year.
Is it because it's the Chiefs? Are we really in everybody's heads to the point that they're losing their fucking minds?

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNAH!!
In times past, just fans of the losing team or professional trolls would be whining. Some sour grapes but not dominating the media (social or otherwise).
But the proliferation of betting is why so many folks are either butthurt about this game, or claiming things are fixed (the concept of which, as a 40+ year Chiefs fan, is H I L A R I O U S to contemplate :-):-):-) ).
Don't get me wrong -- I don't give a shit about legal betting. Not my thing, but whatever.
But it's 100% changed the way sports are discussed. [Reply]
Awwww, look at all the whining crybabies from the 31 other teams in the NFL throwing their temper tantrums and meltdowns since last Sunday. How does it feel to know we live rent free in all your heads?
We are the new Gold Standard of the NFL. We will always have more class and dignity than your teams, we are going to keep rubbing everything in your faces and you all outside of Chiefs Kingdom will always be crying. Here are your tissues. [Reply]
