To rig or not to rig that is the question.

There are many things that go through my mind when I'm watching a sporting event. When I was younger I use to think of it as just sport and I would get excited when watching very competitive games. Now, my mindset watching these games have totally changed. I still look at it as a sport and still get very excited when watching great teams go at it, but I now understand the money aspect that is involved in sports. This new found mentality has brought up the question of whether or not the outcome of some games are decided by people of influence. Upon hearing this many will start to disregard such a notion, but we must remember that these sports franchises are billion dollars companies with million dollar employees and like players and coaches always say "this is a business first and a game second".
