During Super Bowl LIX, a viral video captured a woman dressed in Philadelphia Eagles attire repeatedly stabbing a voodoo doll resembling Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
This incident occurred at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The woman, dubbed the “Super Bowl Witch,” was seen rocking back and forth while jabbing the doll adorned in Mahomes’ No. 15 jersey.
The video sparked varied reactions online. Some fans humorously attributed the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Eagles to the so-called “voodoo curse,” while others dismissed it as a lighthearted prank.
Mahomes’ performance in the game, which included two interceptions and six sacks, fueled further speculation about the potential impact of the fan’s actions.
It’s important to note that there is no scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of voodoo practices in influencing real-world events. The incident highlights the passionate and sometimes superstitious nature of sports fandom, especially during high-stakes events like the Super Bowl.
