That is true for the fans. However, I can't for one minute imagine that the players, who get paid millions of dollars based on their performance (as well as the performance of their team, e.g winning Super Bowls), would be okay with losing a rigged game. Not one single player of the thousands who have played the game have complained of this? They cry over a few thousand dollars in their contracts because "they have to feed their families." Certainly they would sue everyone and anyone who cost them some money.
I don't buy it. Maybe I am naive, but I don't buy it for a minute.
