Why? The league will make money on sports betting regardless of who wins or loses games or who covers the spread and who doesn't. There is absolutely no argument to be made where it is beneficial for the league to steer/rig/influence outcomes of games. Why take the risk of the whole league going down? They make money hand over fist regardless of who wins or loses.
If you want to argue that a rogue official or player is doing something to influence the outcome of a game or games for personal financial gain, I'm willing to listen, but to suggest a league mandated fixing/steering of games is just stupid.
