Rigged election, why not rigged football games. If they can do it and get away with it, so can we. The NFL is no different than Pro Wrestling...

Rigged and scripted are not the same thing are they?

Those guys get paid a lot of money and often don’t have meaningful secondary incomes or skills so they can’t afford to go off script.

The NFL is a corrupt organization from top to bottom.

The sooner the world is rid of them the better.

They obviously want to make Mahones the next Super Bowl star. The game is completely rigged.

People don’t recognize satire anymore.

Sheeple aren’t discerning.

The Twitter thread is pretty funny.

https://twitter.com/PFTCommenter/status/1620482042902495234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1620794161170636800%7Ctwgr%5E57afa84c92f166c2e3e7198fa98c75ce488fd33b%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fsports%2Fnfl-players-reveal-reactions-scripts-given-walked-out-facility

The prevailing opinion seems to be that this is a joke.

While the Left is VERY motivated to rig elections, why would the $ Zillion cash cow NFL, teams, and players jeopardize their goose laying these golden eggs by cheating and “scripting”? Doesn’t make sense.

My take: “Everybody loves a conspiracy.”

I used to think that the Mob was involved due to the $$$$ from betting.

Probably the DeepState ran now with all the BLM, flag kneelers, Lqbxyz fag fest

“Rigged election, why not rigged football games”

More of a question of why. I heard just a couple of weeks ago that sports are considered entertainment therefore they can legally rig a game without repercussions. I’m sure gamblers are ticked off about it, but that’s the gist of the conversations I was hearing on media.

I guess some folks don’t understand the word sarcastic.

I would take this with a grain of salt. Arian was a talented RB, but he was coming up with some off the wall stuff even in college at Tennessee.

He is a bit of an odd duck.

I think back in the old days, it wasn't that bad. Not as much money in the game. I'm sure some things happened back then but we haven't found out about them (yet).

Today? If you're an NFL official, you get better jobs if you make the "right" calls. You get perks. So the favored teams and the stars get all the calls.

So there, you sort of have a script. Even though it's kind of indirect.

5 or 6 bad calls in a close game, there's no way that you can win the game. It's unlikely that your team is as dominant as the 1985 Bears so you can't just blow out your team in every game. Parity rules the game. So you can see how this is a problem.

The NFL is so scripted, it's both disturbing and hilarious

Link to Fox news full of clickbait. No info gained from my link.
Regardless, all these players gotta do is save a copy of the script and present it to the public. Until then, the reality of the situation can vary from dumb, or disgruntled jocks to carefully calculating, misanthropic owners, advertisers, other jocks, broadcasters, swindlers,gamblers, and media hacks.
Anything to keep the NFL in the public eye(to jack up the advertisement income). Sooper bowl not worth the time to watch.
