INTERNET - Experts and pundits were shocked as 2021 was relegated from the season on the final day of the year.

Sources indicate that 2021 thought it had the points to stay up, but it turns out that they fatally miscounted the amount it needed to avoid the drop and as of midnight, they were relegated.

“We feel for our fans,” stated 2021 General Manager Ali Curtis. “They supported us all through 2021 and we were hoping to celebrate with them in the end, but… well… it all fell apart.”

Experts indicate that this may permanently hurt 2021 and the legacy of the year as the requirements from a relegated year could hamstring the system moving forward.

“My god, think of the parachute payments they have left over,” stated Janus Dubrovnic of TSNBC. “2021 is never going to recover from this.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as 2021 gets relegated even further to the dustbin of bullshit years after further review.
