That's where I'm at, and can a society function where every distrusts everything? Everything is a conspiracy, everything is rigged? And does that make it easier for the people who actually are rigging the game, like Trump and Kushner.*

I cannot believe what a big story clockgate became. We live in a bizarre world now.*

I think it’s a big story because NBC fucked up and people watching live saw something they can’t unsee

Cont: Like the largely held belief is the Big Ten conspired to give Michigan another shot at a hail mary that literally no human being on earth thought would make a difference in the outcome prior to the play. I just cant fathom how stupid people are now

People just believe what they want to believe, and then find everything they can online to validate their confirmation bias*

this point is somehow lost, the “cheating” didn’t result directly in a win. The Big Ten cheated so Michigan could get a 50 yard Hail Mary. Yeah, that makes sense. *

It's definitely emblematic of something much deeper in our society. What I can't tell is when people start talking about conspiracy nonsense, do they genuinely believe it?

Only a small amount do. This is why I think prediction markets are a good thing*

It's been a bigger story than the blown PI call with the Saints and Rams a few years back. Which is crazy.*

If the dumbfucks at NBC had just done it properly while the refs were reviewing there wouldn't be a controversy.

Nothing drives clicks and ratings like Michigan and "controversy" or "scandal." In the FSU-SMU pregame show tonight, ESPN kept showing a graphic with Michigan's controversial win as the lead CFB story from the weekend. It's garbage.*

it's an opportunity for people to express online how *hard* they believe what they believe, despite all evidence.

I am ignoring it all. It will go away. The call was correct, it seems. Unlike Neb 1997 who won a piece of the title despite winning a game on an illegal TD (kicked ball). Nobody said a word. *
