So the government doesn't care when businesses openly engage in fraud, bribery, extortion, and dishonest business practices?

Wouldn't a better example of a straw man be you bringing Ole Miss recruiting into an argument about the NBA?

So then, you'd be willing to admit Mississippi State involves itself in cheating on the recruiting trail as well?

Between this and the guy who says people who rent property are homeless and shouldn't be allowed to vote, it's been a tough few days on the MSU interwebs.

My stance is that nothing should just be taken as it is given to us. We should all know that from the media framing what they want us to see. I am just stating that it is not out of the realm of possibility that something shady goes on in the NBA. Did the NBA not drop off considerably after the 90's? If that happened to my business I might would take some drastic measures to restore it.

Point shaving is credible. 2015 Black Sox scandals...not so much. Of course I have no idea what you're actually alleging because you haven't actually alleged any THING. Just some notion of corruption.

I am not getting into details here. NBA rating stats, revenue, etc...If you are interested enough in it, you can research it yourself. I am a merely setting the notion up.

If corruption and cheating are issues for you, you can't watch any sports past junior high.

When did I say that I had concrete proof that it was corrupted?...I have said OVER AND OVER that it should not be out of the realm of possibility that corruption exist in a huge entity like the NBA. If you don't want to believe it, then go on watching in your little fantasy world and believe what you want.

hey dumbass...Is it possible that I watched it at one time and then discovered that it was corrupt and after that I could see right through it and stopped watching it?​







So how did you discover it then?

So why spend money

on coaches, trainers, and scouts if the fix is in. Are those positions really needed?

You said all pro sports

And of course college is. What do you watch so you completely ignore the dirty world of college and pro sports?

A straw man would be arguing against an assumption about one of your stances, that I disagreed with. Whether or not you believe OM cheats or not, I was not using that assumption to argue my point.

I can see how it is corrupt. Did I say that I had documentation, phone calls, etc? NOPE. I can see how a business that had popularity go away try anything to bring it back.

At some levels yes, at fixing series and players tanking on purpose, absolutely not.

You are an Infowars subscriber aren't you?

And is Major League Baseball as corrupt and fixed as you claim the NBA is?

It's on the thread about Austin Riley, they had to lock it.

I don't

think anyone is disagreeing with the statement that cheating/corruption happen in sports. It's the stupid statement that the finals are fixed that everyone disagrees with.
