The NFL kicks off Super Bowl week with a mass gathering of “media” hitting players and coaches with “questions’s” Travis Kelce .

Traditional media, meanwhile, is clinging to life. Ignoring what fans are talking about is risky. These are the customers. As such, outlets provide content that draw eyeballs.

A lot of fans think the Chiefs get the benefit of a favorable whistle.

The only way to combat this is to try to refute it, which the referees are trying.

The NFL did that, determining that this is part of the job.

The reality is enough of the public believes otherwise and enough media plays to that worldview.
