The NFL’s latest installment of the Super Bowl came to an end with the Kansas City Chiefs coming out on top against the Philadelphia Eagles. While some fans rejoiced about their team winning, others were livid about how the game ended. Furthermore, a few head-scratching calls were made which possibly led to a whole different outcome in the game. Among those fans that disagreed with some of the calls by the refs was Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who voiced his displeasure on Twitter.
Among many NBA stars in attendance, LeBron James too was there with his wife Savannah. Based on his reaction on Twitter, it seems as if James was unhappy with a big call that went against the Eagles late on in the game.

While his second tweet read, “His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way, I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion.”
Fans too seemed to agree with James, as one tweeted, “Unbelievable. Ruined a classic.”

Agreed. What an amazing game! Both teams played great football and we were set up for a great finish before that call robbed us all of that. Under 2 minutes in the Super Bowl on a ball that’s thrown away? Pick up the flag and let them play. Congrats to KC and their fans!
