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

[T-RO]

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

Exactly. A well-timed penalty or one not issued.

Naive people who think billionaires are going to leave money on the table...I find them funny.

 

[HarmoniousMunk]

If the NFL was scripted, I'm pretty sure Jerry has enough cash to have Dallas winning at least 8 more Super Bowls by now

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

As if anymore proof was needed that we’ve got the dumbest fanbase in sports.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Wrestling and NFL football is totally different.

They are the same. Entertainment, not contest. Look it up.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

It's unfortunately true we have the stupidest and whiniest fan base in sports. And the most conspiracy nuts. We have a lot of great fans too, but for some reason we attract a lot of the most annoying people imaginable. It's one of the reasons the Cowboys are hated so much.

They’re entertainment, but one is rigged and the other one isn’t so they’re not the same. You might want to keep track of the discussion.

If the only goal was ratings, the Cowboys would have been at least to the NFC championship many times in the last 27 years.

You didn't read my post very well. I never claimed anything was scripted, and don't believe that's even possible. Games are manipulated, that is hard to not believe due to a mountain of evidence.

 

[DuncanIso]

Everyone knows it’s rigged.

What’s the big deal.

Not illegal.

I find people who think the NFL has to rig games to make money absolutely hilarious.

The most valuable franchise in the league hasn't won squat in almost 3 decades, yet the NFL has never been more profitable.

lol, I am tracking. How do YOU KNOW the *nfl isn't rigged or scripted? I agree on the entertainment part 100.

That the Steeler and Packer fans are in the top 11 is laughable…….I’d trade either of those teams minor penalties against our numerous and perfectly timed drive killing penalties

I never day rigged, but I say biased.

how can the Raiders continue to lead the league since it’s blowup with Al Davis for the last 30 years even though that team has had 15 different head coaches and 100s of different players?

the Maras , Rooneys and Krafts of the league are in excellent standing with the league and their teams have been among the least affected by the zebras even with different coaches and new players from year to year.

Jerry is not among the beloved owners

 

[Cowboys5217]

We have the most fans so of course we are going to have the most "if x then y" fans. Seems obvious.

And the NFL is certainly "nudged" to a desired outcome. There's no denying that at this point.

You actually need to ask that question? Lol There’s millions of people watching the games every week with HD slo-mo cameras everywhere covering every angle. If the NFL was rigged or scripted it be uncovered and obvious to everyone. Only a loony toon would think the NFL is rigged and scripted. If you think the NFL is rigged and scripted and still enjoy watching the game more power to you.

Let's just say I have my suspicions as per the subject we are speaking of. Now I just am in it for the entertainment. Not trying to ruin it for you so go on and do you.

If you even have suspicions your driveway isn’t any closer to reaching the road than the fans who tweet and post about it here. I can only imagine what else you might have suspicions about. Lol

he would have no control over it.
Goodell would be in charge of it.

This past season, was the most fake season I have ever seen.
And I dont mean cowboys, I mean the whole league.
There were so many odd losses by good teams to bad teams , bad calls, no calls etc.

Some if not all HC could be in on it, and is why they hire mainly from within nfl.

Done partly for the out come vegas needs to maximise profits, and for who goodell thinks makes the best playoff and SB matchups .
KC vs NYG just isnt as good as vs Phil.

I think it was a phil playoff game where the wr didnt complete the catch, but nobody looked at it until phil ran another play.
oh yeah both the officials and NY just missed that lol.
That is exactly the type of thing NY office is supposed to help spot and stop the game for review, unless it was what they had to do to make
sure phil moves on.

And it could all be legit, but this past season whole thing seemed off to me.

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.

I cant believe that, if it was a widely held belief I'm sure an Anything But Dak would of used it as an excuse for a poor Dak performance.

Hanging your hat on an forlorn reason other than 'we aren't good enough' is the Cowboy way. We all know that Jerry took the devil's money when he helped create the CAP....no conspiracy to see here.

Not surprised at all. Most Cowboy fans are pretty delusional with how good the team/Dak are.
