Top 5 Biggest stories of 2015
The Dress
Is this dress Gold and White or Black and Blue?
In February, 2015, this dress caused a big debate.
Is it Blue and Black or White and Gold?
The Interception
The Miracle
In Super Bowl 49, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots played. The Seahawks were on the one yard line with the game on the line, and they decided to throw the ball instead of running it. It ended up getting intercepted by corner back Malcolm Butler, a then unknown player. The Seahawks lost the game.
This play will go down as the most questionable call in Super Bowl history
Donald Trump
Donald J Trump
Donald Trump is running for the 2016 US presidency. Yes, i'm being serious. To most of us, he is a joke. But somehow he is leading the Republican party and may even end up as the 45th President of the United States of America.
New England Patriots and Deflategate
Deflategate
In the AFC Championship game in the playoffs, the Colts complained that the balls that the Patriots had provided were deflated. The Patriots beat the Colts by 38 points. The Patriots also ended up winning the Super Bowl. Since then, there has been meme upon meme upon meme making fun of the Patriots and the NFL. And i think it deserves to have 6 of the many memes here to show how big this story became. The NFL fined the Patriots and originally suspended Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season. He ended up playing all 16 games, of course. There is many debate about this, and many different views, and this is why this was one of the biggest stories of 2015.
Golden Sate Warriors win NBA Finals
Steph curry and the Golden State Warriors
The Golden Sate Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. But the even bigger story was that Steph Curry, the point guard for the Warriors, won the MVP of the league. He has come a long way to win it, too. His father was an NBA player. His brother, Seth, currently plays in the NBA as well. But for Stephen Curry to win the MVP, it was "huuuuuge," as Donald Trump would put it. He came from a small college basketball team, Davidson, and is only 6 foot 3 inches. Yes that's still pretty tall, but the NBA's height average is 6 foot 7. This was a special moment though for all basketball fans to see a player who was told he couldn't play, couldn't shoot, and couldn't match up to other players to win the MVP Trophy.
