Professional sports are not rigged, although I don't know if I can go as far to say they are fair and balanced. Nothing in life is fair, and officials do blow calls sometime (and sometimes they are corrupt as evidenced in the NBA). However, as a former pro athlete I strongly believe that leagues do as much as they possibly can to uphold the integrity of the game.
Some things cannot be rigged. Looks at the Western Kentucky vs. Drake game in the NCAA tournament last weekend...how could you possibly plan to sink a 3-pointer last second like that?
rigged sports aren't always about who wins. That's why bookies have spreads. Also, it's possible for last second flukes like what you're talking about to happen, and thus ruin a "locked game"... But either way, the question was in regards to professional sports, and you're quoting an NCAA match...
yeah it's about having more fans not who wins.
I agree that does seem alittle unbelieveble that.
Did you watch the Superbowl? No way that ever could have been rigged.
The superbowl could easily have been rigged... It's not ballet where every single twist and turn is choreographed, it's a ref. that gives questionable calls to one team, or a player that just happens to have a bad game, or a lineman that keeps failing to block the blitzing linebacker which gives the quarterback less time to throw downfield, yada yada yada.
No, not all. Only baseball, basketball, football, hockey, tennis, soccer, lacrosse, boxing, wrestling, horse racing, and auto racing... but I don't think professional poker is.
every thing sept wrestling my freind that you said.
no they are not rigged. if sports were rigged the government wouldnt investigate every time someone cheats in the game such as the mitchell report and steroids.

There is too much money involved in professional sports for it not to be rigged in some way. There always will be someone on the take, affecting the game in some way. Look at that NBA ref! Aside from that, everyone makes too much money too early in their career(Life) to really care about the competition itself.
Yes. The team with the most money usually wins. Look at the Yankees. Year after year, they have the highest payroll. Now look- they have 26 world series championships. Every time a team is doing well, the star athlete wants more and more money. When money takes that player to another team, his/her former team suffers. Plus, sports teams are mainly paid for by the government. This allows bigger cities and states to have higher payrolls, nicer stadiums, and a larger fan base.
Thats some bull crap go play base ball and see if you can hit it where you want it!
..I think the pro sports are set up..and the reason is...one they are all friends...and they talk all the time..they are stars, so they know whos gooing to win the game before it even starts...I've seen plays in football that didnt make any sense what so ever...

....I see plays in pro sports that just dont make any sense why they would even do a play like that..for example in football its 4th down with 2 seconds to go, you just should knee it and game over, but no they try to hand off and fumble, other team runs it back for a td...

college sports arent rigged, its the pro sports that are rigged...its funny how these players get injured in the pro's and they are out the whole season..and then you have college players with the same injury and they are back playing in a week...

"its funny how these players get injured in the pro's and they are out the whole season..and then you have college players with the same injury and they are back playing in a week" It's also funny how those pro players are significantly OLDER than college players and that they've played in way more games than college players. The wear and tear on the body gets to be pretty hard in the pros. Your "argument" here proves nothing.

What does this argument have to do with whether or not ALL pro sports are rigged?? BTW, my Mom was a teacher, and I strongly feel that teachers should get paid more than pro players in ANY sport.
