Baseball, Football, Basketball, and whatever sport is refereed, bad calls will be made. It is part of the game. This is a game after all, and things just don’t always go your way. Life is not always fair.

Yes, but 'bad calls' and 'calls made to tilt the game' are hugely different creatures. One is part of the game. The other could be considered fraud. It's like horse racing: a bad call is the jockey dropping his go-faster stick. Cheating is doping the other guy's horse.

How do you tell the difference?

Obviously, if cheating can be confirmed, it’s something that should be pursued.

I’m not trying to urge people to look the other way when there’s confirmed rigging.
