Gamblers are involved in NFL. NFL is influencing the Referees (indirectly). You favor large market teams and superstars over small market and lesser known players.

It is crazy that there is betting on football, there is no way that point shaving or referees aren’t steering games or point spreads. It only takes one player in the right place, and excuse me for pointing it out, but the brahs are not exactly of high moral value.

Involved? If you listen to sports radio in Philadelphia, the commercials are about 80% for gambling operations. (The other 20% are for male enhancement products and strip clubs). Sports are in the process of becoming an offshoot of big corporate gambling.

I could never find verifying evidence, but John Madden reportedly said “don’t forget, every Sunday there are THREE teams on the field.”

And because of this (and other things), the NFL is a Fake Sport that deserves no more time and attention than Fake News.
