If you read my other blog about Referees than you already are aware I am hated by most of the major professional leagues and a lot of college sports because I blatantly come out and say SPORTS ARE RIGGED!
This also is one of the reasons I am called THE OUTLAW MICHEAL TOMSIK.
Lets really think about the EVIDENCE over the past decade alone that shows SPORTS ARE RIGGED!
What ever argument you have that states SPORTS ARE NOT RIGGED I can come up with a way they are here are my top TEN ways sports can and most likely are RIGGED!
#1) Building a dream team with players that are above average players. This has been done on both college levels and professional levels from teams that want Championships and money from being on National TV. Building a dream team does not always work however some dream teams fall apart as well. History has proven this in both college and professional sports.
#2) Money from sponsors, commercials, and TV and Internet and other resources van affect sports. This also has been proven in the history of sports that teams with money and revenues or drive high fan bases seem to pay off with Playoffs and Championship runs.
#3) Illegal or Legal Sports Wagering offers a whole world of arguments on how it affects any level of sports. There has been plenty of evidence however that it does affect sports at all levels.
#4) Fantasy Sports Leagues and Companies that offer millions of dollars online as contest or pools can also affect sports just as Illegal or Non Illegal Sports Wagering.
#5) Political or Government interference in sports leagues.
#6) Companies that make money off the sports leagues from advertising, merchandise, or other ways from the sports.
#7) Athlete enhancing drugs or steroids can affect the game. There already has been a ton of evidence on this subject in sports.
#8) League Officials or the league itself that could rig games in several different ways. There also is evidence of this in all sports.
#9) Fan bases can affect what teams are shown on TV or presented to the public. This can rig a game so it is so lob sided that one team is way better than another. This has been proven in sports as well and there is evidence to prove it.
#10) Traveling and away games that wear teams out. The schedule of a team can be very important to rest of the team, practice and emotional state of any team.
