Interesting discussion, for sure....
The truth is the NFL is rigged and has been for almost two decades now. Scripted? Doubt it. Rigged? Without a doubt. They are not in the business of selling sporting events, they are in the business of telling stories. Last night? It was blatant as can be all the way from the Pre-game show throughout the game. The entire even was all Los Trashelas, all the time. The entire event from top to bottom was one huge circlejerk for the homeless capital of the United States.
Here is where people ask what Goodell's reasoning is. It is simple: Goodell has wanted a team in L.A. since he was hired. It has been his wet dream, the cash cow of cash cows for the NFL in his eyes. The problem is what the problem has always been with L.A., it is a fairweather, fake as hell fanbase. Always has been. So far the L.A. 3.0. experiment has been failure number 3.0..10 billion dollars spent on the market and the fanbase isn't showing up.
What really hurt Goodells plans was Marc Davis snubbing his nose at the NFL and building the Raiders a new stadium in Las Vegas, only a few hours from L.A. and within the "Los Angeles market." Why do you think he leaked those Gruden emails and tried to sink the Raiders? Let's be real here. The old Los Angeles Raiders fans are making the commute to Vegas to support the Raiders. Goodell was counting on them to jump bandwagons.
This entire event was all about the Rams and Goodell trying to build his brand. There was zero chance, none at all that he wasn't going to have the officials effect the game if need be to have the Rams house the Fraudbardi trophy in their home stadium. Again, he blew 10 billion dollars on the "L.A. Rams" brand and is desperate for a return on investment. The Rams had to "win" the story the NFL spent all day yesterday trying to tell. There was no other way.
The referees threw the game. That is blatant and obvious. It is also disappointing.
