They're all fixed.

There are grammatical errors in 2/3 of your comments. You apparently don't know how to spell "personal" properly.

I never claimed I was perfect. Most of them are me typing on a phone and not caring to fix autocorrections. He's the dude that picked a fight then doubled down. I'm just laughing because I'm immature.

Well, you are immature. You are dragging a stupid spat into a completely non-related thread like a child. OP doesn't deserve to have his subject derailed.

I know exactly who I am. But you're right, sorry OP.

There is a conspiracy that Sonny Liston took a bribe with his fight with Cassius Clay.

The games are a distraction just like Roman times.

Games aren't the distraction. It's the kind of community activity people understand and want to partake in. A better argument could be made that democracy and popular politics are the great distraction of the modern era.

I agree with this line of thinking. People that say the games are a distraction obviously just don't like playing sports. It's just pure fun. Honestly some of the best things this world actually offers. People exercise, work together, and get their competitive nature out in a way that doesn't usually harm others like business competition does.

Here ya go

And there is still a lot of fixing today, especially in soccer

New doc film release on Netflix: Icarus.

Game 6?

That's the one

What happened?

There are a lot involving doping, from the Icarus documentary detailing Russia's methods to conceal it to theories that sports managers may be helping their athletes get away with it.

One of those managers is Malki Kawa, he's had quite a few athletes caught doping but usually gets away with a tainted supplements excuse. He manages Jon Jones who many of you may know was just popped for his 2nd time, this time being an actual steroid (last time was for post-cycle therapy drugs clomid and letro).

Michael Jordan didn't want to retire just to try to play professional baseball. His gambling problem had spiraled out of control, and instead of it coming out and him being suspended, he agreed to do a secret "suspension" from the NBA behind the ruse of him wanting to play baseball. He was too instrumental in the NBA's current popularity rise in the 90's. It had to be kept a secret. His father's death was also due to his gambling debts.

I might have gotten a minor detail or two wrong, but there are threads all over the internet if you want to research more.

Literally this. MJ started the whole "extralegal athlete" role by switching from one sport to another then removing himself from legal actions by becoming an actorrrrrrr. Once a league feels a player is going to bring about negativity it's pretty much time for that dude to act.

How does becoming an actor remove him from legal actions?

I remember a prof of mine going into this explaining how the leagues at the time used language that allowed ex-players to extra-judiciously avoid/evade any fines or possible investigations of infractions prior to their leaving said league. They fixed it up since MJ but he was the first to really play the game. Get it? Heheh

Get it?

No, you still have not explained anything.

Bayerndusel - Biggest german football club gets adavantages in referee descisions

as with too many ct, was proved already.

there is a study i do not find but here is a quote from a newspaper article: source

"Spielt der FC Bayern München gegen eine Mannschaft, die in der 'ewigen Tabelle' keinen Spitzenplatz einnimmt, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein Elfmeter dem schwachen Team fälschlicherweise nicht gegeben wird, drei Mal größer als im statischen Mittel"

roughly translated:

"If Bayern Munich plays against a small club the chance is 3 times higher that the small club wil not get a penalty they should than the statistics mean suggests"

The only journo I know that talks about it is The Fix Is In guy. Pro sports is really showbusiness, there's no actual law preventing game fixing and such. It's only an issue when organized crime is involved, but the mob doesn't need to the exposure interfering on the sports side when they can make money interfering on the book side.

Still and all, where pro athletes aren't paid proortionate to the money gambled on their sport that's a huge opening that's begging to be filled. There is a huge FIFA scandal over this that I'm underinformed on

This weekend's fight is just about selling pay-per-view. In real life, Conor would have no chance against a 49-0 boxer. let's see how the fight plays out...

Calciopoli

Look up the Frozen envelope

I don't know why you got down voted, this is probably one of the best actual sports conspiracy theories, which is what most of these are.

I thought it was pretty interesting. Whatevs

blood sacrifice. all sports are rigged.

Sports is bread and circuises and you are not much of a man or woman to care about them a lot.

Cal Ripken Jr., MLBaseball Hall of Famer and owner of the longest "consecutive games played" streak, caught his wife in bed with Kevin Costner, kicked his ass, and got arrested. In order to keep the streak alive while he was in jail that night, his team pulled the plug on the stadium lights. Game was postponed, Ripken kept his streak alive, remained married for almost 2 more decades, and Costner's THE POSTMAN was released a few months later.
Cal > Kevin

Here he is at that game with the broken bank of lights behind him, and he talks about it in this interview at around 23:45.

Shut up, Beavis.

They're all listed as entertainment businesses just like wrestling and they can fake anything they want.

I think the NFL was trying to cover up concussions, so sports organizations downplaying medical issues resulting from participation could be something to look into.

I know this is a popular one, but as someone who played a lot of sports in life, I just don't buy it. The athletes have known for a while that concussions are bad and injuries are inevitable, it's just something you have to accept if you want to play. The NFL was hit with their lawsuit, lost their ass and now all contact sports are facing scrutiny from mostly people who don't play the games. People that drink or do drugs know it isn't good for their body, but they enjoy it, the same goes for athletes. For every one person who says they wished they hadn't played professional football (or any contact sports) there are 1 million other people who weren't good enough to make it, who would trade places with that person in a second, knowing the toll their body would take.

Kerry Fraser's missed call on Wayne Gretzky in the NHL semi-finals in 1992. The league was trying the grow the game in the US at the time, and the last thing they wanted was an all Canadian final. Gretzky and the LA Kings in the final was a better outcome as far as the league was concerned.

"Golf Rumors"

Jon Jones knew he wasn't going to be able to stay clean. Juiced up for the Cormier fight knowing he'll get popped by USADA but wanting to get the last laugh on Cormier. He challenges Brock at the end knowing he's about to get lifetime banned and angling (or having already lined up) a spot at this next WrestleMania against Lesnar. Bam. Minds blown.

My general theory is: once it becomes a thing in betting agencies, it becomes rigged.
