A cynical view I bet some of you share

I love football and we all become adults one day. Look I'm not saying the NFL is rigged but it, much like any money making venture, has serious issues. The more money to be made, the more corruption comes into play.

I'm good friends with some current and former pro athletes. They all admit that PED's are rampant. The players are usually a good 2-3 years ahead of the testing and they also believe all PRO and College sporting leagues/sanctions and even the olympic commitees know it and only "act" as if they care once it hurts the revenues. It's starting in high school.

Most of them also truly believe in their hearts that officials and referees have become just as bad. I was even told by current NFL players that this past Superbowl was "A Ray Lewis ride off into the sunset" movie. Ala Jerome Bettis. Now the NFL has yet another way to cash in on a "story" that will live on for generations. This was Steelers vs Seahawks part 2.


Our Sport's world has never been a 24-7-365 day a year environment. Now every sport is. Kids are expected to now focus on 1 sport all year long. AAU has made it that way and money has made AAU.
