The NFL Has Finally Convinced Me That Its Games Are Rigged.
I grew up as one of the biggest football fans ever. I loved it so much that I began playing and had dreams of playing in the NFL one day.
But, I remember an NFL back in the 80’s and 90’s that seemed sincere and legit in it’s execution. But as we moved into the year 2000, the NFL became more and more corporate. Even going as far as hiring businessman, Roger Goddell as commissioner.
Now, like anyone else who’s a fan of football, I’ve denied it for the longest time. But then in the last couple of years, dating back to the Patriots vs. Falcons Super Bowl, I began to get suspicious. Then it hit me! The NFL is about making money in any way imaginable.
We have to take a look at a company who over the past few years, have exceeded revenues of $4 billion annually. So the truth is, they will go and favor wherever the money is, point blank! Not to mention, sports betting has become such a huge aspect of professional sports that it plays into the outcome of games also.
Would you know that by just being able to watch that game as an observer, I noticed plays that were purposely blown, penalties purposely missed and players checking out and apparently losing all of their sense of awareness. I mean I get it, CTE is a thing but not on that level. Not to the point where you can see…
