What people always seem to forget in a conspiracy is how many people they have to keep quiet in an age where book deals can make even the lowest rung of a conspiracy into a multi millionaire. The video is wrong in saying that there is no law against fixing their own games as there are some round about laws that could cause issues. If they in fact pay the officials more, or provide a benefit of some sort, for doing the fix it would fall under match fixing laws and would subject the person doing it and encouraging it to prosecution. If they can prove that multiple owners were in on it, and it was prevalent across the whole league, they could actually use RICO and go after everyone.
You dont think that some teams are getting preferential treatment from the league?
In my opinion, I think its kind of hard to believe otherwise.
A game doesnt necessarily have to be "fixed" in order for someone to have their hand in the outcome of it. Look at the NBA from a few years ago. Some of those refs came out and whole heartedly admitted that they gave some teams (bigger markets) preferential treatment during games.
There is just too much money on the line and too much at stake to not believe that the results of these games are skewed in the direction of certain markets and teams.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
