Thanks, both, for providing helpful context.

It was the game's turning point for me by generating a late game rooting interest in this (way less than) casual fan ... as I txted below to a friend when the game ended.

"I don't watch or care about football, so I don't know if it's common, but as soon as the Niners gathered for a photo op in the end zone after their touchdown that made it 19-10, I wanted the Chiefs to come back & win just to to repudiate the [PROFANITY FILTER STUFF].

Reminds me of the debate here a few weeks back about Andre Jackson after posterizing an opponent.

PS - My LIVth Super Bowl, among the least watched overall (<20% of the show), and I was eager for a good game, so I liked that part. I just not a fan of NFL, Goodell, more-is-more hype & vulgarity, etc.

When the a commercial for a company (Amazon) whose largest shareholder (Bezos) owns an influential newspaper (WaPo) legitimizes the term "fake news," I've see enough.

The end zone stuff made for a good schadenfreude setup because I didn't know it was a thing. And I'm mightily impressed that KC turned double digit deficits into double digit wins three times in a row.
