All Sports Are Fixed

All sports are "fixed" ... that includes professional, collegiate, and many amateur levels.

Where there is the human element involved - there is the potential of corruption and scandal. Why do we expect more "purity" from our sports than the corrupt society that the sports are a part of and surrounds them ?

You know the saying "It is not illegal, until you get caught". Past history has exposed the behind-the-scenes environment on many occasions and that is the small percentage (2% maybe ?) the public knows about. Sounds like the activities of the "shadow" government. These "unseen double dealings" occur in every industry and every business - on a worldwide scale.

I also believe that the government, along with media, is involved in the "fixing process". However, very little has been revealed on purpose to avoid widespread contempt and panic. At the same time, the hidden agenda is kept "on the quiet" as to not invoke complete lack of trust and confidence in the elite leadership. Otherwise, there would immediately be a revolution, led by the lower classes, on a scale much greater than the French revolution that began in the late 18th century.

Back to the sporting realm, other examples of the corruption is the preferential/beneficial treatment of "certain" stars that would bring greater positive exposure to "the game". This includes outright favoritism and "penalty double standards" by the leagues themselves, commissioners, officials, owners, judges, managers, schools, alumni, boosters, fans, the media, etc. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize this situation.

In the future, there will be an increase in the number of "dirty dealings" coming out "into the open" (such as the recent NBA referee scandal). Much of it is related to gambling and "Big Money".

Mark my words - You will see - but, don't be surprised, you were warned!
