The beauty of judgment calls is they're really tough to detect favoritism over flat out fixing games.
The idea that the league would be charged for racketeering if they fixed games only holds water if game fixing is illegal under racketeering laws and they are not because, once again, entertainment purposes. You buy a ticket to be entertained. There's nothing else to it any more than buying a ticket to go watch a movie or a singer. Hell, a singer could perform and forget all the words and sing the words to Mary had a little lamb for every song and you would have zero recourse other than to not watch them the next time.
