'The Patriots Lost the Popular Vote' – Super Bowl 51 Had People Reliving That Terrifying Feeling of Election Night

#NotMySuperBowlChamps
  • During the first two quarters of last night's super bowl, the atlanta falcons established a large lead over the New england patriots

  • Their momentum and focus created the assumption that they would be the champs of super bowl 51

  • Then, the patriots shook the world when they made a historic come-from-behind victory

  • As America watched a team with close affiliations to Donald Trump do the the impossible, many could not help but think of election night

  • As the game clock dwindled down and the teams went into overtime, Falcons fans broke out into the same cold sweat that Hillary supporters did on November 8

  • The unprecedented overtime win made it difficult for people to accept the outcome; thus, the hashtag #notmysuperbowlchamps was born

  • Putin was blamed for rigging the game

  • Jill Stein was summoned to perform a recount of the score

  • Pledges to help falcons fans were made to combat the win

  • Even president Trump (who is buddies with the Patriots' quarterback, coach, and owner) commented on the win
