Have you ever watched a game where thousands of people see a foul and the refs who are even closer to the action totally miss it? How about them non-calls? Don't they drive you buggy too?
Have you even been to a game where you feel that there were outside forces influencing the game? To quote Da Nose, "You can't see it but you can smell it." And there's that cliche "when there's smoke there's a fire."

It's incredulous when you think that the San Antonio Spurs don't win when Joey Crawford is in the game. And when the Dallas Mavericks are likely to be on the selling block after Mark Cuban contemplates selling the franchise for the nth time after they believe that ref Danny Crawford stole it once more.
Nah it's not the Crawfords because before there was Hue Hollins who made two bad calls against the Chicago Bulls and he's now been supplanted by Tim Donaghy who took much of the zing out last season and this year's NBA Finals. His revelations about the Lakers-Kings Game 6 are damning. And if you watched that game, you'd wonder what the heck were the referees seeing on the court? Sacramento should have won that game and the series. That game was stolen. No other words about it and David Stern may stomp his foot and deny it all he wants, but that was one poorly officiated match.
And then there are these guys who do a number on my alma mater every time they step on the court.
There has been so much talk of game fixing over the years that it's a wonder why it has never been investigated properly. Take a look at the NFL's Roger Goodell. After taking an initial look at the tapes turned over by the New England Patriots over its alleged taping scam, the NFL Commish burned the evidence because he said that they were insubstantial and in the wrong hands, people might misconstrue it. What the hell? If there was really nothing then it would have exonerated the Patriots. Instead it has only made matters worse. Imagine, a comment is made that other NFL coach's also tape the opposing team's signals! WTF!
After years celebrating the home runs derbies by Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds, after years of making money off those summer feats, MLB wishes the steroid mess will go away. Steroids has been a problem for a long time and its only in the last few years that they act on it? Five letters, effendi... G R E E D!
And there's a lot more that you ask which is the entree.
So I wonder which is worse, pro wrestling or these so-called real sports? At least the other one make no bones about it being sports entertainment while the other will make you feel good then rip out your heart and empty your wallet.
