Let me hit you with this, as far as conspiracies and the NFL go; I'd be interested to hear your take.

Never in the fifty-some year history of the Super Bowl did a team host the game.

In the wake of a pandemic that makes traveling a hassle and sees many people avoid it entirely, we see a team host the Super Bowl in their home stadium two years running.

Coincidence or conspiracy? One way to make sure the host city's hospitality industry doesn't lose money is to have their team host the game, right? Thoughts?

Wrong bc you don’t need a hotel if you already live in the city where the game is.

Super Bowl is a corporate event. The average fan can't afford a ticket at face value, much less at resale prices. Even if they could, the two participating teams get a very limited number of tickets to offer for sale to season ticket holders.

Even if the above were not true, the hospitality industry is never going to want the home team involved in something like the Super Bowl. Local fans don't stay in hotels - they stay at home and go to the game day of. Local fans don't go to bars and restaurants - they eat and drink at home.

No one in LA cares about the Rams.

What do you think the hospitality industry is? If I live in LA, I'm not staying in a hotel for a game in LA.

You were building a brilliant case, then torpedoed it. Congratulations.

It still makes for a good talking point, right?
