- I suspect this is rampant and not just in basketball either.....it wouldn't surprise me to learn the nfl is rife with players manipulating the outcome of games.

It’s ironic that there are so many gambling advertisements now on TV broadcasts. I agree that there is likely a lot going on behind the scenes.

Fans don’t watch sports for the sport anymore. They watch it to gamble. Idiots owe Pete Rose an apology. Way to go NBA. Now it’s time to go after the Gay Bunny’s MFL

Porn, gambling and liberalism are destroying America’s men. Ban all three.
