Conspiracy theorists have something eIse to latch onto after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Late in the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense were matriculating the ball down the field in an effort to win or tie the game.
One pIay showed Mahomes scrambling out of the pocket for minimal yards on first down, clearly not enough for a fresh set of downs.
One video posted by fans showed that the play ended up being a first down even though he never made it that far.On a game-changing pIay, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for 22 yards on third-and-7 to drive the Chiefs deep into 49ers territory.On a game-changing play, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for 22 yards on third-and-7 to drive the Chiefs deep into 49ers territory.
Harrison Butker would eventually be called on to make the score 19-19 with three seconds left in the fourth quarter as the 49ers would kneel and the game would head into overtime.
Mahomesâ legend continues to grow, as his overtime drive Ied to a Super Bowl LVIII win over the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, on Sunday night in Las Vegas. The Chiefs defended their Super Bowl title, winning back-to-back Vince Lombardi Trophies and collecting their third ring in the past five seasons.
Mahomes finished the game with 333 yards on 34-for-46 through the air with two touchdowns and one interception, while rushing for a team-high 66 yards on nine carries.
Actress Quinta Brunson Is Upset With âNo Black Charactersâ On Friends
The conversation around diversity has been intensifying lately, making everyone think about its importance in all areas of life. One recent topic of discussion? The iconic 90s sitcom Friends.
Quinta Brunson, known for her role in Abbott Elementary, recently pointed out Friends for its lack of diversity. While hosting Saturday Night Live, Brunson used her monologue to highlight the absence of Black characters in the beloved show.
Brunson contrasted the diversity on Abbott Elementary, which features the lives of teachers in a predominantly Black, state-funded elementary school in Philadelphia, with the noticeable lack of diversity on Friends. The difference was strikingly evident.
With her well-known wit, she joked: âI wanted to be on SNL back in the day, but the audition process seemed long â so instead, I just created my own TV show, made sure it became really popular, won a bunch of Emmys, and then got asked to host. So much easier, so much easier.â
While the audience chuckled, the underlying point was clear. Brunson continued, âItâs a network sitcom like, say, Friends. Except, instead of being about a group of friends, itâs about a group of teachers. Instead of New York, itâs in Philadelphia, and instead of not having Black people, it does.â
Her playful commentary sparked serious reflection, even from Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman. Kauffman has publicly expressed embarrassment over the showâs lack of diversity and pledged $4 million to support African and African-American studies at a university.
âIâve learned a lot in the last 20 years,â Kauffman admitted. âAdmitting and accepting guilt is not easy. Itâs painful looking at yourself in the mirror. Iâm embarrassed that I didnât know better 25 years ago.â
She added, âIt took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism. Iâve been working really hard to become an ally, an anti-racist. And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white womanâs perspective.â
The discussion around diversity is far from over, but itâs clear that the conversation has advancedâeven for a cherished sitcom like Friends.
