Because no one, not a single fan wanted them to. We all just want to watch ****ing football being played at the absolute highest level. There was never any need to have any scripted bullshit put in. Legit football was always more than good enough. I'm beyond done with a bunch of slimy ass billionaires ruining the game that we all love. Clean this mess up and just give us real football. It's not that complicated. |

Me, I like college football. But again, it depends on which conference because there are those where outcomes seem predetermined. The lesser conferences, like Conference USA, may be more amateurish but are also more fun to watch because it lacks big money. |

They can sue, but they will lose, just like the Jets fan who sued the NFL in 2010 because he bought season tickets, and the New England Patriots were caught cheating via the Spygate scandal.
The NFL basically had their lawyers argue to the Supreme Court that it's sports entertainment, there's no law against manipulating their onfield product ("for entertainment purposes only"), and that even if fans knew the product was "manipulated", they would still watch. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the NFL, and that the ticketholder's rights were to be entertained by whoever the NFL decided the New England Patriots and New York Jets were on those particular days in question. ' Basically, if they kick off the ballgame, then line up like ****ing Lord of the Dance and start line-dancing at the 50, if the NFL says that's football and you're entertained, then that's what it is. SO, yeah, there is zero legal recourse for anyone who has spent money on tickets, lodging, travel, food, accommodations, or gambling, even - you made your choice, your money is gone, you were entertained, the NFL thanks you for watching this presentation... |

And Team A and Team B are whoever the NFL says they are. And the "football game" is whatever the NFL says it is. The shit is worded in the antitrust that way for a reason. |

Doesn't even have to be completely pure. Just quit rigging - excuse me - "manipulating" the outcomes of games would be nice. |

Yes, you are correct that he APPEALED to the US Supreme Court, but the tossed it. I guess it was the state appealate court that ruled the NFL could legally fix games and that fans can't do shit about it - my bad, dawg - you are 100% correct : Quote:
Thanks again - definitely need to know exactly which court said it's legal for the NFL to rig their own games. Important stuff there. |
