QB Brock Purdy Smartly Responds To Reporter’s Weird Lee Harvey Oswald Question
During Super Bowl week, players are never sure what to expect from their media appearances. The hordes of reporters that swarm the host city annually don’t ask the same questions about football that players typically field throughout the rest of the season. However, even by the norms of the Super Bowl media circus, one of the questions posed to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy on Tuesday was exceptionally strange.
QB Brock Purdy Smartly Responds To Reporter’s Weird Lee Harvey Oswald Question
This week, a widely shared tweet compared Purdy’s physical attributes to those of JFK killer Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s true that Purdy and Oswald resemble each other somewhat—possibly largely due to their similar haircuts—but is their similarity near enough that we should rush to obtain Purdy’s opinion on it?
Holy shit.

When a reporter questioned the 24-year-old quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, who is about to play in his first Super Bowl against the Chiefs on Sunday, about certain comparisons of his physical appearance to Oswald, he was at a loss for words at Super Bowl 2024 on Tuesday.
Between a few pauses, Purdy replied, “Uh, eh, yeah, I don’t know.”
Brock said, “I haven’t, that’s my first time hearing it,” in response to the question of whether he had heard of the social media buzz that was stoking the parallels.

Chavis shared a photo of Brock and Oswald side by side along with the words, “Holy s–t.” I’ve spent the last two years trying to find out who Brock Purdy looks like, and it’s Lee Harvey Oswald.”
Local nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald two days after Oswald shot and murdered Kennedy, as the president was traveling in a vehicle with his wife, former First Lady Jackie Kennedy, and Texas Governor John Connally.
While some fans were perplexed, others thought the reporter’s question concerning the Purdy-Oswald idea was strange and disgusting.
