I%u2019ve been of the belief for years that not only NBA but also NFL and MLB sports outcomes and scores have been influenced by gambling. One guy takes the fall this time it%u2019s this referee however have no illusions people corruption exists where ever money changes hands and almost no person is immune to thinking of their own self interest when it comes to the bottom line.

The disgusting part about sports gambling is that most folks watching at home or at the event have no clue that many games are fixed it%u2019s comparable to the WWE but at least most people know pro wrestling is fixed and no wagers are taken on sports entertainment.

The day that the Vegas opens up the books and the public is allowed to see how much is bet on each team and each game for a fair analysis of the outcome then people will know.

GOOD LUCK GETTING VEGAS TO DO THAT

News agencies find reporting on real news to be expensive (investigative reporters cost money) so instead we get this CRUD.

Next in the news: Does your cat eat enough fiber?
