Yes. The games are rigged, no doubt, but it’s most likely done through the referees on select calls.
Some players may be in on it, but even as someone who’s known the games are rigged for many years, it’d surprise me if the league as a whole was rigged - I.e. “everyone who steps on the field is read-in.” Too many points of failure. Rigging is done, and almost has to be done, through influence, not full scripting.
You can’t script a ball going through the hoop, or a quarterback making an accurate throw, or a receiver making a catch.
Now, a critical defender “forgetting” to play defense or being told to hold strong to an incorrect play? That’s plausible. LeBron just quitting all effort during the finals? That’s plausible, if not likely, given what we know about him.
That said, football is a great opportunity to have heavier scripting since they all have helmets and could theoretically all have built-in headsets, but if they did - nobody ever spills the beans on that? By rule, only one player on the field is allowed to have a speaker to hear the coach; typically a lineman or the QB, depending on offense or defense. Speakered players have green dots on the backs of their helmets.
(Not a critique of your response, but of the “everyone is an actor” dismissal. Sports are still fake as hell, rigged, and a waste of the time of a moral and productive society, except as part of building community through direct, sensible participation)
I could see him being killed over it whether he’s right or wrong. It’s still a confidence game, and killing him would be within the preservation of believable confidence parameters. It’s not that being fully scripted is completely implausible, just that it doesn’t seem necessary.
The endgame is the same either way, though. We need to consume(-mate) less sports and entertainment. Fornication with the Harlot.
Btw there used to be an NBA player who supposedly died via being hit by a train while high on several drugs and masturbating to pornography while driving his SUV, if you want an official story that screams “Assassination Cover Story”. Will be interesting to see if the truth of what he actually did ever comes out.
Players are playing the game to the best of their ability; their contracts depend on it.
If anybody thinks a player, say, picking up a sudden accidental fumble (they do occur) with nobody between him and the goal line is going to NOT run it into the end zone because"the game is rigged" and "that fumble recovery wasn't in the script", sorry but that is just beyond asinine.
I actually agree with you. Of you want nfl is rigged film there are way better than someone claiming becayse cmc broke off into the flat and was open it was rigged
I didn't agree with his assessment on all of the issues he called out, but there were several that were blatant. For example, go to 1:37. Watch number 54. There is no possibility he was "distracted" or "didn't see" or "his helmet might have been in the way, " etc. He purposefully let the guy run by. He was right there and did nothing.
not the best examples. Looks like the video creator never played competitive football.

I’ve said football is entertainment for idiots. I did many constructive things while everyone else was staring at the tv.
What did you do last night?

Or a low kick to miss an extra point so it goes into overtime.
