South Park pokes fun at NFL’s Deflategate scandal
By Mike Dyce
South Park nailed the DeflateGate scandal in their season premiere on Wednesday night.
Fans of Comedy Central’s South Park know they’re no stranger to taking on the biggest stories in pop culture in a rather timely fashion. So when the show kicked off its 19th season this past Wednesday, you knew they’d tackle the biggest story from the summer, Deflategate.
The Deflategate thing might be played out, and fans are surely tired of hearing about it on SportsCenter and all over the place. It is the scandal that won’t go away.
But I’m sure everyone will give South Park a pass to bring it up one more time because you know it’s going to be incredible.
The main focal part of the Deflategate jab was a Eric Cartman dream sequence. It features NFL commissioner Roger Goodell bickering back and forth with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick.
It can be summed up best as the two sides arguing about who broke the rules and that the other one breaking the rules is why they’re complaining.
It is the best 30 second summary of Deflategate you’ll ever see, and now I think my girlfriend understands what exactly I was talking about all summer.
Warning: Video contains NSFW language, cause, well, it’s South Park.
