start by not having ridiculously egregious missed calls always favoring the team that would benefit the NFL the most.

I don’t think it’s fully rigged but I do think there are definitely biases that screw teams over.

Every other major sport in the US has had a serious, proven, and publicly acknowledged instance of “rigging”. HOF NFL players have made accusations on cheating/rigging.
But, those who think … “yea, maybe so” are “retards”…. Because YOU say so? Retards?!

yeah, with close to 20 billion dollars in revenue on the line, there is no chance of anything nefarious taking place.

And a whole new online gambling industry sprouting up around it all in the last 2-3 years.
Yea….what could possibly go wrong?

If 49ers win then it’s not rigged.

So you don’t watch sports?
Other guy told you about NBA and MLB. Link below is about many disputed NFL games, including players and ref’s raising issues.
And do your own search on Neil O’Donnell for the Steelers throwing Super Bowl XXX.

People who think they NFL is rigged are so stupid there is nothing you can do for them. Because they don't have any common sense

Of course certain games from time to time feature nefarious behavior from players and other related parties.
Entire leagues being rigged in the modern day? Nah.

Refs are graded every week there, guy.
Grading works in school because there are repercussions if you get bad grades. There are no repercussions in the NFLfor poor grades except maybe a promotion.

I know the league office is corrupt. I don’t know that games are rigged, but knowing that the league office is corrupt tells me that it’s quite possible, maybe even likely, that games are “rigged”(I prefer to say influenced).

If the NFL is scripted, then I wish someone would hurry and include the Bills in the fricking script. I’m tired of waiting.

I think next year will be there year...the NFL loves new stadiums. Actually, I thought it was their year until Taylor showed up.

That's not how it works. It is rigged until you prove it's not rigged to them. Mind you, I don't know how you prove a negative, but yeah.

there have been others since then too, almost all involving gambling

crooked ref was the whistleblower.
he alleged it went way higher up the chain all the way to the league office.
there are multiple instances of the NBA applying rules and suspensions based on what is good for the league rather than unilaterally.
that Kings/Lakers series in early 2000's looked fixed as shite to make sure it went the full 7.
Games 5 and 6 are well known to have been at the center of those allegations.
The NBA has long been rumored to have rigged the Draft lottery for the Knicks the year Patrick Ewing came out.
multiple NBA players have come out and voiced their opinion that games are rigged using the officials in the last decade or so.
Boxing has long been widely discussed as being dirty and fixing fights.
I don't follow hockey, so can't comment on that league.
and lets not pretend like there haven't been some really controversial calls in big NFL games that "coincidentally" benefitted the team or player that would be in the league's best interest.

with the amount of money involved now?
we're talking about billions and billions of dollars at stake.
that's just in sponsorship, TV, and tickets.
throw in the gambling (an estimated $23 BILLION on just last night's game) and we're probably getting up into the neighborhood of $100 Billion per year.
and who gets how much and from where is largely dependent upon the outcomes of these games.
that's a scenario just begging for corruption and shadiness.
I think it would be naive to NOT think it was not just possible, but extremely likely that somebody somewhere is pulling every string they can to manipulate outcomes.
Is it the league itself? gamblers? TV networks? whatever is left of the Mafia?
hell if I know.
but there is waaaaaaay too much coin at stake to just leave it to chance.
