A call that took a would-be touchdown away from the New York Jets and gave the ball to the New Engald Patriots has the Twitter world buzzing on Sunday. Some decided to sarcastically (or perhaps even genuinely) place the blame at the feet of President Trump, who is a friend of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
The officials in the Jets-Patriots game are clearly Trump appointees

Here is video of the controversial play.
This #Jets TD was overturned by the refs after review. Ruling was he fumbled out of bounds into the end zone. Huh?https://t.co/jECoroL1ia

That is the worst call in history in a regular-season NFL game. The Patriots basically run the league now.

And here is the reaction.
Patriots can't lose. Trump said so.

Remember that the New England Patriots are the most Donald Trump team

Trump paying the refs to make sure Patriots and Kraft keep giving him money. #Collusion https://t.co/cwUyCMKQRc

Is the #NFL trying to throw @realDonaldTrump a bone by screwing the Jets and helping Trump's Patriots with the worst call in NFL history?

When will Sarah Huckabee Sanders be asked about Trump’s involvement in this game?
