So this is how the NFL works

But I am going to take this concept to the next level 

if you will be so kind and patient to hear me out...

(I'll start simple and go from there)

PROVEN FACTS:

1)

Dating as far back at the very least, 

had the 1919 Black Sox indemnently and indelibly involved 

in a major fruadulent scandal 

orchastrated by a private enterprise 

for the sole purpose of duping / scamming the general public.

2)

Several occurances of same incidents have been documented since.

3)

The relatively few but noteworthy of, 

have crossed all boundaries

(sports / politics / crime, etc)

4)

It would be absolutely obtuse for any person with ability for quantative thought 

to assume this paradigm has changed since.

I believe this substantiates my position thus far.

WRT Sports (before going further)

It is my humble opinon a conspiracy does indeed exist,

but being so massive and complex in nature,

leaves room for disbelief.

Mathwiz,

I quote again here.

(I do so because 'past will be prologue' if not realized).

Hitler said:

"The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it"

Sports gambling is a iie.

But here is where we get deep into the philosophy of a lie.

It has always been said that in order to keep a lie most effective,

it must be kept simple. (and true enough)

But lies are inevevitably complex in essence.

Think about it...

When you tell the truth, it's simple and never changes.

It's easy to remember and recant cause its static.

A lie involves more detail.

The more you lie, the more you have to remember the details.

The more you have to cover up as you go on.

The more you have to invest.

The more trouble it is to recall.

I diverge...(but be reminded of that concept).

Back to sports.

What once was a genuine action involving random participants engaged in proving athletic skills

has long since and slowly morphed into "a false g-d of sorts".

"Sports" are no longer "sports".

Rather more indicative of corporations selling products.

I refer to these enterprises as: 

 "SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXES"

Groups and/or contingincies of high powered entities 

who own and control these teams or better described as franchises 

within an overall capacity.

This assimilation or association of various like-minded parties

have decided that it is in their best interests 

to recoup and profit from their investments by 

[and here we go again with the old adages],

(but as PT Barnum said),

"putting on the show of shows"

It's about selling seats, merchandise, tv rights.

It's about showcasing their vast array of talent.

It's about entertaining  audiences.

It's about keeping people intrigued.

It's about gluing them in.

Anything can happen at any moment.

What's going to happen next ?!

It's about not only selling tha product 

but selling any and all products.

(Ever notice how many vehicle ads there are during these commercials ?)

Ya. well. That and so much more.

Like I said. Not so simple as that.

Yet once again I diverge.

Back to sports.

It's not all fixed.

Yes some games are.

But some games aren't.

It's a mish-mash of sorts.

Gotta pick & choose.

It's hard.

Really hard to discern.

Good luck to all of you trying to do so.

I'm not here to tell you how to do it.

I'm just saying to be educated about what you're doing.

YOURS TRULY,

The LANDSHARK!

If anybody thinks the NFL isn't fixed especially after  last years vikings vs saints debacle and witnessing Marcus Williams completely and intentionally miss that tackle on Stephen diggs they are in serious denial. How is it so hard to believe that refs, players, and coaches never do anything ever to fix the outcome of a game.

Another HIGHLY intelligent athlete. Cristiano Ronaldo. Accused of RAPE. WOW. I thought he was happily married. Oh well. My point still holds merit. If this guy is CAPABLE of RAPE. He sure the Hell is CAPABLE of gambling. Enough said.. That it all

But noooooooooo! I'm sure he has never placed a wager on himself or the other team. He just likes to rape women instead. LMAO

No, we are not.  /thread 

Or alternatively, women who have sex with super rich athletes can benefit from ACCUSING them of rape for a quick payout. This girl you are talking about already got paid, now she wants smore!

Who would have thought that girls can benefit from lying like this?? is this why we have innocent until proven guilty?? is it to prevent people from gaining power from lying?? could it be??
