Sports are designed specifically to placate the masses, providing the exact same mollification of the plebs as the Coliseum did for the Roman Empire. They also provide heroes (as does all of our entertainment systems) specifically designed to keep people from seeing their own empowerment. This aids in the government keeping them suppressed and enslaved.
That's it's design purpose, but like all systems in the one world monopoly, the sports system is also designed as an asset transfer vehicle.
With respect to it's fakery, it has also always been fraught with fraud to increase it's asset transfer potential. From deflategate to doping to "bad refs" to an almost expected cheating in baseball, sports have always been full of cheating at the highest level. When they get caught they throw someone under the bus. "It's Sammy Sosa," or "It's the ball guy," etc.. I suggest no one does it on their own. The industry is designed to cheat. But why? Because if you control the cheating, you control the outcome of bets.
That doesn't mean that all games have predetermined outcomes, I have no idea, but some do. We know about many, and those are just the times they got caught and it was validated by an actual investigation. In other words, those are just the times they did it and it was so obvious they had to investigate to keep up the illusion. How many times does it happen where they don't get caught? "Bad Refs" is ubiquitous in sports. Why?
Yes, I did mean professional sports. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Who knew that making a flippant blanket statement would come back to bite me in the butt? :)
I could have been more specific in my first statement, but in the interest of brevity I made a blanket statement. You called me out on it, I'll give it to you, but you left out what I said after in the second statement. I said "I don't know" (referring to if they all have predetermined outcomes). That's a very important qualification that changes the "pick one"ness of the two statements (i.e. I didn't really say two mutually exclusive things as you presented it).
Maybe they are all predetermined. I don't know. At the least they are all suspect because the system is full of so much known fuckery.

The entire system is controlled by a single entity. Not just sports, but the entire economic world (not to mention the media who gives us "the news" and tells us "what is true and what is false.")
All the world's a stage.
And we hold up the board.
Sports that you participate in for fun are perfectly fine.
"Professional sports", like "politicians" and other such constructs are fake & evil.
There is nothing 'professional' about being an athlete. It's all about corporate control.

Pick one.
