Percentage of Overall Fan Tweets About The NFL Being "Scripted," "Fixed," or "Rigged"

[DoctorChicken]

We’re #1!

Keep in mind this data comes from Twitter, using tweets from the last month of the season, so it might not be the most statistically accurate representation in the entire world.

However, I still think it’s interesting. From my observation, the teams that underachieve are near the top, the winners are in the middle, and the fans of losing teams are merely aware their team is not good and there isn’t any rigging going on.

Just more proof we have the dumbest fans. There’s been countless threads started here by fans claiming the league is fixed and is biased against the Cowboys. Don’t know why they even bother to watch the game if they believe that.

Why? People watch wrestling knowing it's scripted and love it. Besides, that's a weird poll or whatever it was. Scripted is totally different than fixed or rigged. I don't think they are fixed or rigged either, but scripted is totally out there.

This is what I was trying to post earlier. Embarrassing.

Wrestling and NFL football is totally different. You have idiots on this board that think the Cowboys aren’t winning Super Bowls because of Roger Goodell and the league. Lol Explain what you think is scripted in the NFL?

NFL games don't have to be scripted. All it takes is a well timed penalty flag at a crucial moment.

You show me someone who really believes the NFL is scripted, I'll guarantee that person isn't too intelligent.

 

[JW82]

Probably the same folks that are afraid of windmills. They shouldn’t watch if that's what they believe.

I didn't even need to see the graph to guess that. Or that we'd end up #1 on the list.

No surprise based on the comments from so many yahoos here.

I think there are MANY Dallas fans that really know their stuff.

scripted? no it would be VERY hard to script a whole game

influenced? YES...

i believe there are a couple of refs on the take

 

[OldCoach]

All the “scripted” stuff was meant to be jokes on Twitter. They were all making fun of Arian foster.

 

[Havic]

Scripted to a degree to align with vegas odds imo. We saw this first hand when Cooper Rush beat the Vikings. They got 4 flags on our defense for 1 drive, 3 of those flags were highly questionable.

hc, oc, dc, could all influence a game.
Scripted could refer to the nfl scripting the playoffs and reg season to some extent.
like maybe they want SB to be eagles and KC so pulled strings so that it turns out to be so.

Do you think goodell would want SB to be NYG vs Miami ??

I think goodell wanted KC to win , hence the holding call.
And vegas might have made more $ if KC wins.

Of course we are!

Crazy how far down the Raiders are since they have led the league in penalties for what, 2 decades now? If any fan base should be suspicious, it should be them.

Honestly, it's wild that a team could go through countless players and coaches and still be one of the most penalized.

IF IT IS I WANT MY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BACK FROM THE GAMES I WENT TO

Here's what we actually know, not conjecture. The line opened at Eagles -2.5 and closed at Eagles -1. That happens when bets pour in on the underdog, the Chiefs.

Vegas would've made more if the Eagles won.

Why Goodell would care either way I have no idea but I'm sure someone will invent a reason.

Go re-watch the Seattle/Pittsburgh Super Bowl.....it was 100% about making sure Jerome Bettis got a ring.....6 or 7 just atrocious calls!!!
