I've heard it about the FIFA world cup, and as far as I know it's not been debunked (but of course the scale is not the same, the Super Bowl is huge but only in the USA). Anyway comparing this to "some guy on 4chan is pretending to be a high ranking official with highly classified insider knowledge without offering a single proof" is just a stupid way of deflecting. It's not remotely on the same level. QAnon is at the tier of flat-earth conspiracy theories, not Watergate. It's been debunked countless time, none of the predictions have come true and the official account has been caught multiple photoshoping pictures to make people believe he had access to the president himself. It all started with a LARPer on 4chan, the most trustworthy of online forums. People believing that crap are either roleplaying or prefer to live in a made up world than face the truth, it's as simple as that. The problem as always is that a tiny minority of these people eventually become radicalized enough to actually try to act on this fantasy.
