Fact check: Nick Wright can get fucked for his cocky basely Chiefs homerism that finally came back to bite his ass when his Chiefs were blown out in the superbowl.

Checked on February 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses confirm that Nick Wright, a prominent Chiefs supporter, has indeed displayed significant homerism and overconfidence that ultimately backfired. Most notably, he made an extremely bold prediction that the Chiefs would go 20-0, even getting a tattoo to commemorate this prediction, which was immediately proven wrong when the Chiefs lost their season opener to the Detroit Lions [1] [2]. The Super Bowl loss was particularly devastating for Wright, with him describing it as "the worst day of my life" [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements are worth noting:

  • Wright's emotional investment in the Chiefs goes beyond mere professional commentary - he's documented as a genuine superfan whose reactions to losses show deep personal investment [4]
  • His predictions and subsequent reactions have become entertainment content for his colleagues and social media, with his co-hosts on First Things First actively trolling him after losses [5]
  • Despite setbacks, Wright has maintained his passionate support for the Chiefs, continuing to defend them even when they were considered underdogs [6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement contains several potential inaccuracies or mischaracterizations:

  • It suggests Wright's "comeuppance" came specifically in the Super Bowl loss, when in fact he had already faced significant public embarrassment earlier in the season with the Lions loss and the "20-0" tattoo incident [1] [2]
  • The statement implies Wright's support is purely "cocky homerism," while sources suggest it's rooted in genuine emotional investment as a superfan [4]
  • The characterization of the Chiefs being "blown out" in the Super Bowl isn't supported by any of the provided sources, which only confirm that they lost

It's worth noting that Wright's predictions and reactions serve multiple purposes:

  • They generate engagement and content for sports media
  • They provide entertainment value for audiences and his co-hosts
  • They maintain his brand as a passionate Chiefs supporter, regardless of accuracy
