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

[ESisback]

I can’t believe the people that believe in propaganda.

I can’t believe the armchair GM’s that are convinced they know more than those immersed in it for a living.

The funny part is, the whole basis of this nicely constructed post from the OP, was to point out how dumb the conspiracy theorists are.

Yet, with no shame or embarrassment, a good percentage of posters here open their mouth and admit they truly think that.

It's like, if ur a 12 year old kid who's a bit backwards and still believes in Santa Claus, and ur sitting with a group of other 12 year old kids, and they're all making fun of little kids who still believe in Santa Claus,.. and because ur "slow" it never occurs to you to keep ur mouth shut and re-evaluate that what the smarter kids are saying might be true,. And instead u open ur mouth and announce "Santa is real!" , setting urself up for years of torture and ridicule in school.... all because ur just too slow to know what's what and keep ur mouth shut.

That said, it shouldn't be a surprise, as you can easily look up the most educated states online...and surprise surprise Texas is right at the top of the most uneducated states in the country. That's why Jerry Jones is so popular: if ur a C+ student like Jones, surrounded by millions of D- students...(and ur F student son) ...they think ur a genius. Man, that giant silver bar by the Cowboys in that chart is embarrassing, only to be supported by so many posts here. Duuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh

You know that nobody here takes you seriously, right?

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

coming from someone who never lacks an excuse for bad officiating, that is pretty rich.

Yeah, the professionals are so wonderful all the time.....

They may be crap, but they know more than most armchairs.

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

Goodell wrote Jerry out of the script, deleted his scenes.

You really do not get the contradiction there, do you?

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

As seen in the SB.

Kind of, but their crap is better than your crap.

It's from the last month of season. What do any of the fans from those teams at the bottom have to tweet about at that point? Most of those teams are out of it as far as the playoffs are concerned.

Some in it for the glory, more than the reality. They love the attention.

 

[Whirlwin]

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

It’s too bad it’s not about football

 

[HowardC]

Sooo. Statistically insignificant across teams is what this data says….to be accurate scale needs to be 0-100% not 0-3%

That's what I was thinking. So, only 3% of the tweets were about it being scripted?? That's barely a blip on the scale.

 

[Bullflop]

I don't doubt the proposition that our fans have the most untrusting fanbase in the NFL.

Anyone spending lotsa time exchanging ideas with our fans would be likely to think so.

 

[HowardC]

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.

There is if you choose to ignore the evidence.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

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.

You'd think if it was scripted, the league would make a lot more money having their premier team being a lot more competitive

Exactly! Just like that no call PI in the Saints Rams playoff game where the Ram CB was climbing all over the WR. Everyone left the field and stadium scratching thier heads.

Topics like this expose the nut cases. They flock to these threads.

Anyone who interprets bad officiating, missed calls with games being fixed-rigged-scripted is off their rocker. I’ve never heard anyone who gets paid to talk football even suggest a game was fixed-rigged or the league is corrupt because of a few bad calls.

 

[CowboyFrog]

This would mean something if it were the % of that teams fan tweets that were about it...Cowboys probably double the next fan base in tweets which would make their "Scripted" tweets the biggest % of nfl scripted tweets.
