The risk of that happening far outweighs any profits that could be gained by these actions. The NFL makes huge sums of money without manipulating their product. Why in the world would they risk losing it all?

Regardless of the side you're on you only have to look at the "major networks", to use your term, and political coverage to see what bias/slanting/ignoring of facts can do to affect public perception. It's not a stretch to think that the NFL/ESPN can have a similar effect to football.
