Why would the NFL risk tens of billions of revenues to fix games?
If there was ever any evidence of tampering and rigging games for ratings it would be the end of the owner's cash cow.
They were actually implemented to prevent poor officiating not to shape the outcomes .Replays are another handle to shape outcomes.
I’d like to see the link. I’m certainly not aware of any criminal investigation.Actually there was a case thrown out based upon the fact that The NFL is Legally categorized as ENTERTAINMENT . . . But you are entitled to believe whatever you wish
I’m not sure why fans think the games are intended to be perfect. I recall when we didnt have Instant Replay.What seriously knocks a whole in your argument is the fact that bad calls could be close to eliminated from the sport with the use of cameras...but they leave the element of "subjective" around for the sole purpose of having an excuse.
You should have seen this ref in the Mavericks game about a week ago. The ball went out of bounds off a player right in front of her...cameras showed her looking directly at the play...she called the ball out of bounds on the other team. This was not some hard to see call...it was extremely obvious. And...this was at the end of a game in which there were a lot of questionable calls against the Mavericks. It was pretty obvious the refs were up to something. They didnt want the Mavs to win or were protecting a betting line.
No one is going to stop watching the sport...they have "fans" cornered. Who has the money to fight these billionaires in court to prove they are crooked?
My question is...why do the players allow it? It’s because it’s the Universe. United. Everyone is just an agent of the illusion.
Exactly...all they have to do is change their rules..salary cap was a great great equalizer.Why would the NFL risk tens of billions of revenues to fix games?

Right . And a bad call at the end of the game could cost a team.Nothing would kill the NFL faster than evidence that they were fixing games. I have yet to meet a fan who didn't complain about the officiating. Fans who root for many different teams. Is the officiating perfect? No, it blows, but the good teams find a way to overcome bad calls and win games.
No he just posted a bunch of gibberish. Anytime someone brings up this conspiracy theory I ask the same question. Who is doing what and why. No one yet has answered.I think OP covered that.
YepExactly...all they have to do is change their rules..salary cap was a great great equalizer.
The draft order. And changing rules to get more scoring and easier passing game.
Too many people involved for it to be rigged. Is a game here or there may get rigged. But not to this level OP conspiracy theory wants to indicate. Like you said too much money involved and they are already successful so why risk it

Why don’t they use cameras to call balls and strikes in baseball.
Officials are just there to try and moderate the more obvious calls . And with a minimal amount of officials they aren’t going to see everything .
I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment of this note. I’ve been hearing variations of this NFL conspiracy theories for the 40 years I have been watching the NFL and have never seen any evidence of this kind of top level conspiracy to manipulate games, outcomes, etc.
I’m not so close minded to think it’s impossible, however, very much in the camp of “prove it”…
in my experience people I know who believe the NFL is rigged believe most other aspects of life are “rigged” as well….
The most important aspect and vital commodity for this multi billion dollar industry is Integrity of the game.
This notion by some fans that controversial calls by officiating that there’s some type of organized collusion underway with officials throwing the games is totally unfounded.
Not one single case is the NFL has ever disclosed an organized illegal activity to throw games . Not one single investigation. Not one whistleblower .
Amazing with instant access we have in todays media tech business. It has to be the greatest coverup in America sports history over 100 years now. Or just some sour grape fans frustrated with poor and inconsistent officiating.
^^^^^^^this. I’m so tired of silly conspiracy theories from fellow cowboy fansI wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment of this note.

He made himself disappear with the help of the FBI.
The NBA is doing better than ever.Why would the NFL risk tens of billions of revenues to fix games?
