Maybe. But then again, you might be making a fool of yourself.
Something is either a truth or a lie.
It's an absolute lie to believe it's purely accidental that Williams can win SB on anniversary of 13th amendment and 2 black QBs play on SB on Lincoln's bday.
That's not real life. That's pure tv fantasy.
Given that MORE than half the league is black, and that the Super Bowl always falls on the second Sunday in February now, which happens to be the 12th every 5-10 years (sometimes in three consecutive five year intervals, such as has been the case since 2012), this isn't some magical, "fantasy" thing. This a statistical inevitability. The only remarkable thing is that the FIRST time two black QBs started was on the 12th.
But Patrick Mahomes is straight up one of the top three best QBs to ever step on a field (deny it all you want, but it's true). Him being in the Super Bowl is pretty unremarkable given 5 straight conference championship appearances. As for Hurts, look at the team they built. And then look at who were one more game removed: 50% of the QBs in the NFC who didn't get to the NFCCG were also black (Prescott).
But again, this isn't terribly surprising. The best QB in the NFC last year was Hurts. The best QB in the entire NFL last year was Mahomes. Teams with great QBs tend to win.
