It’s not cheating. And calling it cheating isn’t being a fan, it’s whining.

The Chiefs whomped the Vikes from beginning to end. Maybe being better hydrated helped, but I don’t think if the Chiefs had just water they’d have lost.

The rules got changed to allow the forward pass. It wasn’t considered cheating by the time it started happening a lot because it wasn’t anymore.

There’s a whole lot that cemented the Viking as losers. Not the least of which being that except for a couple of seasons where they bubbled up they’ve sucked since going into a dome.

I doubt anything changes drastically if they had the same liquids. The Chiefs were better. And the future of the Vikes really wasn’t about that game, but decades of bad management. That they’re still suffering from today.

Technology is always being pushed. Whether its sports drinks, gloves, lighter bikes with better force transfer, clubs and rackets with better sweet spots, shoes with better grips, swimsuits with less resistance, bent hockey sticks. There’s early adopters and late adopters. Early adopters tend to be better across the board, because they’re putting in that extra effort. Frankly it’s just more proof that the Chiefs were better than the Vikes. They were willing to try to be better. As others on this thread electrolyte replacement was by no means a new concept. The Chiefs were willing to try it out, the Vikes weren’t. Chiefs won.
