The Kansas City Chiefs aspire to an unprecedented third consecutive title of the NFL in Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, which shields to receive the greatest American sports show under the persistent impact of the attack suffered in the new year. Among its many attractions, this will be the first final of the American Football League (NFL) attended by an American president, Donald Trump. The pop superstar Taylor Swift also plans to encourage her partner to her partner, the figure of the Chiefs Travis Kelce, in crowded stands with 74,000 spectators and many other special celebrities and guests.
In New Orleans, a city of about 350,000 inhabitants, an imposing police device has been deployed around the event, which is held five weeks after the massive outrage that caused the death of 14 people.
An American army veteran, who acted by loyalty to the Islamic state jihadist group according to the FBI, then rammed the crowd that celebrated the new year in the streets of Tourist Barrio French.
The authorities calculated the arrival in New Orleans of some 100,000 visitors for this Super Bowl, which the National Security Department assigned the highest level of risk for public security. The NFL, however, expressed its confidence that there are no incidents around Caesars Superdome.
In the 1980s it was part of an antimonopoly demand against the NFL when owned by a USFL rival league team. In 2017, he criticized the NFL players who protested against racism kneeling before the matches during the interpretation of the national anthem. A year later, the president canceled the scheduled reception for the champion team, the Philadelphia Eagles, after a large number of players warned that they planned to attend.
It is a great honor
On this occasion, the presence of the Republican president on Sunday has been well received. “It’s great, it’s a great honor. It’s something exciting regardless of who the president is,” said Travis Kelce, whose couple, Taylor Swift, publicly backed Democrat Kamala Harris in the November elections against Trump.
Swift will go to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year and thus coincide with Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his animosity towards the singer. The reflectors will also point towards Swift at the end of the game in case of triumph of the Chiefs and one of the most popular bets is whether Kelce will ask for marriage after the game.
In total, it is estimated that Americans will invest more than 1 billion dollars in bets around this Superbowl, according to the American Games of Chance Association (AGA). As every year, the event will also cross the popular culture in the spectacle of the intermediate this time of rapper Kendrick Lamar, winner on Sunday at the Grammy Awards gala with five awards.
Favorite chiefs
In the sports plane, the Chiefs of Patrick Mahomes start as favorites to defeat the Eagles, who already won in the 2023 Super Bowl.
A year later, Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers in the final and now he has a third consecutive championship for the first time in the history of the NFL. To achieve this, Mohamses will feature four Super Bowl titles at 29 and will continue to approach the seven record that Tom Brady possesses.
Chiefs, however, will be in front of more dangerous Eagles than in the final of two years ago. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has at his disposal an offensive arsenal in which Saquon Barkley stands out, an explosive Running Back who was a candidate for the MVP award (most valuable player) of the season.
