NFL is a sham sport propped up through tax payers funding billion-dollar stadiums for teams owned by billionaires. Players then kneel and spit on our flag.

Now... this.

"Say it ain't so, Joe."

Surprised it wasn't a college team given the money flying there these days with NIL.

Prop sports are controlled by the league. Holding can be called on any play in football. Two quick fouls on a star basketball player quickly changes that game dynamic. Baseball well, where do I start?

With legal gambling now in the mix, the house says, “Come to DADDY’!!!

What’s the allegation here? A billion dollars bet on the Packers and they tank the game? The billion dollars didn’t get paid off. Am I missing something? Is the accusation that the Sportsbooks paid off the Packers?

Who the heck puts money on the Packers? They were a blocked field goal away from getting swept by their division last year.

I used to love fo9tball but since Jake has opened my mind I can't bear to watch it..so scripted..and since people can be thru out the game you better believe the outcome will enrich the rich even more..

George Orwell had a lot to say about how the people loved their sports and gambling,especially their gambling.

Once the NFL allowed betting, it was only a matter of time before they faced a huge scandal - whether real or alleged.

Who cares? Who would bet on this stuff, anyway? Might as well bet against the L.A. T-Birds in Roller Derby, or put a grand down on professional wrestling, or a couple of hundred on Jai Alai.

The 2007 Spurs-Suns playoff controversy centered on the suspensions of Suns’ players Amar’e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw for leaving the bench during a confrontation with Robert Horry, who had been issued a flagrant foul for hip-checking Steve Nash.

The controversy also involves claims by crooked former NBA referee Tim Donaghy that the series was influenced in the Spurs’ favor due to a referee supervisor’s dislike of Suns’ owner Robert Sarver.

Its for entertainment only. That is what the NFL has been saying in court for 50 years. Why should we be surprised?
