Are popular sports like Football and Basketball rigged?
Are popular sports like Football and Basketball rigged?

Kieran Lockhart, Jul, 26 2023

In my latest blog post, I delve into the controversial topic of whether popular sports such as Football and Basketball are rigged. I explore various conspiracy theories and scrutinize some suspicious events from past games. However, it's crucial to understand that the majority of these theories lack substantial evidence and are often fueled by fans' disappointment. It's also worth noting that sports organizations have strict guidelines and repercussions to prevent such actions. Therefore, while sports may have controversial moments, it's unlikely they are systematically rigged.
