Its impossible to believe no refs have ever been approached or influenced. Now the NFL would do everything they could to keep that buried. Why do you think Goodell burned the spygate tapes?

When you watch a football game, you are watching fantasy football.
The players and coaches are real. The effort to play well is real. If the players mail it in, they are replaced.
The final score and the outcomes of games are sadly fixed.
With points of emphasis given to the officiating crews, the league controls how the rules of the game will be enforced for each player and each team.
The game officials will be arrested and prosecuted only if it can be shown that they personally bet on specific outcomes of the game for personal gain.
The refs, as paid employees of the NFL, are allowed to manage the game to create competitive and exciting outcomes.
The refs are doing their instructed jobs with calls and no calls.
The NFL has legal coverage in the enforcement or lack of enforcement of game rules and game outcomes by billing itself as "entertainment".
As entertainment, the contrived outcomes make for good fantasy entertainment.
As long as no NFL employee bets on the games with intent to make money through gambling on and manipulating outcomes to win said bets, the NFL can alter game outcomes for entertainment purposes.

I believe every word of that. People are so blind to the real ways of the world.

This is my hope.
There may well be an investigation ongoing. If there is, we likely wouldn't know about it until they were ready to drop it or bring charges.

Wow..what an article... he was doing it for 4 years. I would hope that now there are some kind of analytics to notice if refs have a pattern with penalties or fouls for or against a spread. But now that I write it, that’s probably impossible.
Scary and sad that it’s probably more prevalent than we think.
