What's a conspiracy theory you just made up that sounds like it could be true?

All of professional sports are to some degree rigged.

Hear me out.

There is no way that a person or group can with 100% accuracy control whether a ball goes into the hoop, but there are fringes in every game that allow for advantages to be made. Organized crime syndicates have been caught successfully doing this before and in a way that is so plain faced that it could, and for all we know, does, happen everywhere. My main focus is on American football.

Now, break out that tinfoil, because I don't believe that the measly millions that could be made through Vegas even matters. When each NFL team is worth on average 1.4 billion, with a b, dollars how could there possibly not be room for fair play.

Remember when the lights went out at the Superbowl a few years ago? Two run heavy offenses played the quickest first half in recent Superbowl memory...and then the game just sort of stopped while the commercials caught up...

There are countless defensive pass interference or offensive holding calls that determine the outcome of games. That isn't frustrating, but how inconsistently they are called is. Furthermore, almost every single play in the NFL has some degree of holding or illegal contact in it. It is all up to the refs.

Refs have been greased, balls have been deflated, Performance enhancing drug tests have been avoided or mandated, wrong calls have been confirmed wrong the next day...

All hail Roger AlienlizardPeople Goodell and his Nazi superarmy. I super super don't believe this stuff. Honest.
