While watching the intensity of an NFL match, it’s hard to believe that it could be pre-planned, right? Well, Houston Texas star Arian Foster’s lighthearted remark about the NFL being rigged gained a lot of attention. Now, USWNT legend Alex Morgan has also shared her thoughts on the authenticity of the NFL, and it seems she still enjoys the sport regardless.
Recently, the Super Bowl came to an end and San Diego Wave star Alex Morgan was among the many celebrities present at the event. Interestingly, her close friend and newfound NFL fan Taylor Swift was also in attendance.
Alex Morgan’s recent Instagram post has been generating a lot of buzz, mainly because of the caption. In the picture, she can be seen watching Super Bowl 58 from her suite, with the caption, “Whether it was scripted or not, that was fun.” Many fans found this statement amusing, and it sparked a lively debate in the comments section. However, the match might not be the only enjoyable aspect for the soccer player.
Her good friend Taylor Swift also joined her at the mega event. The two share a strong bond, which might be the reason why Morgan attended in the first place. Morgan is also estimated to be worth between $1.8 million and $2.5 million.
On the other hand, Swift was supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Ultimately, the Chiefs, led by Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defeated the San Francisco 49ers with a score of 25-22. It was a Super Bowl to remember for the celebrity couple. Notably, this wasn’t the first time the 14-time Grammy Award winner was seen at an NFL game.
The ongoing discussions on social media about the alleged scripting of the NFL don’t seem to bother Alex Morgan or Taylor Swift. However, NFL icon Tom Brady had a rather amusing response to the same question.
Back in September, the official NFL account shared a video featuring Tom Brady, where he was asked if he thinks the NFL is scripted. The NFL legend humorously replied, “Do you really think I would have played along with a script that had me losing to Peyton’s little brother Eli twice in the Super Bowl?”
The context behind Brady’s comment is his losses in the Super Bowl against Eli Manning in 2008 and 2012. Despite those losses, Brady has an unprecedented 7 Super Bowl victories. However, winning those 2 games could have solidified his legacy even further, not that it was necessary in the first place.
