For those that believe the NFL is rigged, what would it take to convince you otherwise?

They’re going to rig it for the 49ers to win to prove that it’s not rigged

A better question would be

Why does a loud internet minority believe that the NFL has to convince the majority of America that it isn’t a rigged sport?

For a measly 100 million dollar check from Goodell, I’ll tell my 17 followers on Twitter that it’s indeed real.

I think this is a good deal for the NFL.

Even they don’t actually believe that… it’s just a larp that let’s them temporarily bask in the bright light of victimhood for a day

It is like so many other things today. Some person with 20 followers on Twitter says something and gets a handful of comments and the next thing you know someone is posting about it and applying that sentiment to everyone that they can align in any fashion ie "look what Republicans/Democrats believe.


It is also so many people trying to be edgy, like the Superbowl plans thread on tOT where 90% of the replies are about how they have no intention to watch the game.

As long as there is human elements involved in making decisions the possibility of "rigness" is always in question.

A better question is why they keep showing a singer during a football game.

Going back in time and Roger Goodell doing the right thing and forcing PI to be called against the SHAMS.

Or at least hold the lemmings accountable like literally every other line of work does to its employees.

Now that sports betting is legal, not sure why the “NFL is rigged” crew isn’t dumping huge quantities of money into it if they are so sure about it.

Rigged by the league? Not a chance. They’d be risking billions if that got out and it would have to involve multiple people, which increases the odds that someone either gets caught or becomes a whistleblower.

Its believable that someone acting as a lone wolf could try to rig a game. NBA had a ref years ago that got in all kinds of legal trouble because he got caught betting on games he officiated and would try to affect point spreads.
