A former San Francisco 49ers player, Donte Whitner, recently made controversial claims on Kay Adams’ ‘Up & Adams’ show alleging that the NFL collaborated with Taylor Swift to tilt the Super Bowl in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs. Whitner accused the Chiefs, the referees, and Swift of influencing the game against the 49ers by disregarding penalties like holding. Whitner claimed that the 49ers had to contend not only with the Chiefs on the field but also with the officials and Swift off the field, making it a challenging match-up for his former team.

Many fans expressed dissatisfaction with Whitner’s comments and criticized him for his perspective. One fan described it as a “loser mentality” and argued that the Chiefs won because they played correctly and understood the overtime rules.

This fan believed that both teams performed well, but the Chiefs emerged as the better team. Other reactions to Whitner’s take can be seen below.

The San Francisco 49ers had several opportunities to secure a win in the game but ultimately fell short. Despite sacking Patrick Mahomes three times and both teams receiving six penalties, the Chiefs lost more yards due to penalties.

The Niners made a confusing decision to take the ball first in overtime, leading to their own downfall. Ultimately, they have only themselves to blame for the loss.

Additionally, the NFL has revoked a draft pick from the 49ers following a league investigation uncovering a peculiar rule violation.
