The sports world is corrupted. If there is a betting line, there is a chance of unhonest play. believe it or not, it is the truth. networks don't talk about it, teams don't talk about it. but its there. points shaving, coach betting on games. And you think its "Pride" shiit, then you might live in a dream world. The sports are not the way it plays, its the way the money plays. why do you think a team go for 2 points conversion to get 21-56 from 13-56 with nothing left on the clock? check the line and...it was underdog by 35.5 and bet on favored team is 90% consensus. Think about it and leave your darn dream world.

The fact that players make so much money actually helps to decrease that kind of corruption. Players are less likely to risk their livelihood and their long-term multi-million-dollar contracts to make a few extra bucks on the side.

If you know your sports history, then you know of the 1919 Black Sox Scandal where the White Sox threw the World Series. Eight players were banned for life from baseball as a result of this. The bribe money that these 8 players got paid was far higher than their baseball salaries. For example, Joe Jackson was paid $20k for his part in this scandal. His baseball salary for that season was only $6k.

The Us team lost. So now amid all of the curruption what is your answer as to how the team can win next time. Give us a game plan.
