Look Im not going to pretend to think there is a league wide conspiracy but I will tell you that some games are fixed. If you dont believe that, then there is nothing more to tell.

Winning teams would never get too comfortable with their lead or change their strategy to play it safe.

Dude, did you watch the video by BrandonLamarMusic? That's all the proof you need.
If that's not enough, I don't know what to tell you. No reason to continue the discussion.

I'll save you a minute. It's a clip from Doug Baldwin scoring a TD in the SB vs the Broncos. Tinfoil youtuber zooms in and sees Baldwin giving a thumbs up to the Broncos defender, who goes and high and misses the tackle as Baldwin crossed the goalline.
Oh BTW the score was 36-8 Seattle in the 4th quarter when this happened

You posted a Youtube video by BrandonLamarMusic... Not wasting my time watching that horseshite. You can find someone on Youtube presenting evidence that the world is flat.
Who is the mobster that got on TV and admitted to fixing games?
Im offshore internet is slow. Sorry about the link being bad. It was supposed to be a video showing a Seattle player with the ball giving the Denver defender a thumbs up for him to go high, while he went low in the SB. It wasnt some trick photography or even a guy explaining anything. Its just a recording during the game. And you can see it clearly. Thats some WWE shite right there.
As for the mob boss, I dont remember his name. This was in the 80's and aired only one time. Never spoken about again.
He claimed he had a coach, a QB, and a Def player on the take and it was all he needed. The coach to keep the QB in the game after performing badly and the defender to call the plays to the defense. Those 3 alone can script a game and damn near name you the score. He said he had no less than 30 games fixed.
The evidence is out there. Now lets just say all these games were fixed way back when. Whats stopping it from happening today?

Bro having your thumb and hand in that position is about as natural as it gets. And he could have been faking him. As in, fake like he's about to stand up and sprint outside or something, and then just duck under the tackle.

Yep thats all it was. Its common knowledge that every sport in history was fixed at some point but its just crazy conspiracy kook talk that this could occur today with much more money on the line.

If I had to answer the this question correctly to keep my life..
"Hey, has an NFL game been rigged or something sorta like that or something in the last decade or so or ya know, something?"
I'd most likely close my eyes and say yes.
But do I think homeboy's thumb proves it? No

When you want to convince people the NFL is rigged you need to reference the Anti-Trust Exemption Law granted by JFK in the 60s that allows the NFL to classify itself as "entertainment" and not "sport", which means they can rig it if they want to for entertainment purposes.

Of course not. Your mind wont allow you think its even possible that something like this could happen.

Trust me, that doesnt work either. People are convinced that sports are real. They invested too much time and money into their team to believe this is all a sham.
I used to be the same way.
