Are Pro Sports Fixed?

IMO yes, pro sports are scripted because all it is anymore is entertainment and a money maker for TV, products advertised on TV etc, etc. Think of all the cash to be had and how much more there would be if you knew what the score was before hand....


What do you think? Are They?

If pro sports were fixed, then why would multi-millionares inject testicle shrinking substances into their asses?

To make the game more entertaining for the viewers, because I would rather watch a guy break records than a little pussy hit ground balls. If there are harder hits, there are more viewers, if there are more viewers, there is more cash

Nope, pro sports are not fixed, except pro wrestling and boxing.

boxing is not fixed, only because if it was the boxing people are incredibly stupid because they couldve set up certain fights that would rake in millions if they setup a fight or two to go in a certain way

I don't think sports are fixed, but I do think that athletes throw games. There are a lot of gamblers and business men who will pay a lot of money for pro games and a lot of money to athletes to blow games

So much money is involved with professional sports, just in connection with owners, players, sponsors and not to mention in the world of gambling. Anytime there is tons of money involved, the opportunity for corruption cannot but help to leak into things.

Naturally no on wants to really believe that pro sports are rigged, because that would mean the fans are all being duped--and who wants to think that? But I definitely believe it is true.
