Here's the thing. This league is entirely too much into protecting their money making teams and gladly look the other way when popular teams do the same thing and worse on a regular basis ,but it's become blatantly obvious the league is a fixed league. It's gotten to the point where small market teams are completely incapable of winning long term not because they're not coached right or don't have the best players, but because the league scripts the outcomes of who wins and losses by hook or crook and there's absolutely no governing body that can change it and even if there were there's too much money involved so lawmakers have no interest in changing how things work.
What cannot be said enough is there are NO LAWS on the books to prevent the league from determining who will be in the championship games. It's not about clean competition and never has been. It's about profit, profit and more profit.
I have absolutely no doubt that if the Cincinnati Bengals wanted this to all go away the only thing they would have to do is to make this team popular enough and profitable enough.
Nobody will ever convince me that a sporting event with millions and perhaps billions of dollars on the line is even remotely 100% clean and unscripted..The games are fixed, the outcomes are fixed and no matter how good any small market team is they will never be able to overcome the almighty dollar bill.
If Vontez Burfict played for any of the big market teams none of this would so much as make it on page 93 of the Sunday newspaper. All of it would be within the rules and he would be lauded as the greatest linebacker in the modern era of football.
