If the NFL were to be found of fixing games, that becomes an ENORMOUS can of worms. You're talking about essentially scamming fans, and also it would raise a ton of questions about what sort of under the table deals the league might have in regards to gambling. And betters, themselves, would have grounds to sue the NFL for their losses. And that is just the sort of thing that would end the NFL, or at least those currently in charge of it. I think that's relevant. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I am a referee for rugby and that is incredibly tough.....how the hell do you referee at a high level with two different sports? We need full time refs who train year round for one purpose. To get it right!

If Congress could grill baseball players about steroids, I think they can do this. Football is a game. The NFL is a mob. I'm all for investigating them. As far as everything else that Congress could be doing, it's going to be a stalemate for the next two years, with Democrats controlling the House. They're going to push their ludicrous agendas, and the Senate is going to block them. I'm sure they spend plenty of time talking about other things, all the same. |
