Sports : The World Series is so obviously rigged.

The World Series is so obviously rigged.

I'm not saying Boston won't win. They don't rig the final winner. But they'll throw a game to the Dodgers to keep people watching and increase the profits of the advertisers.

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

I must say, you present some compelling evidence. Hard to argue against with all that proof!

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

Dude, I'm not writing a treatise on the topic. But greed is compelling evidence.

I also posted this yesterday before the game and sure enough the underdog Dodgers won their first game.

How many times in recent history since corporate sponsors have been involved has the winner ever racked up 4 games straight and won 4-0?

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

Which is a ridiculous argument because there are hundreds of baseball games throughout the year. You think a few games fewer in the world series is really affecting the advertising dollars to any appreciable extent?

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

Look at how much sponsors pay for advertising on the World Series. And baseball history is full of rigging scandals on games at all levels.

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

I guess having a low scoring game that goes to 18 innings is just them throwing the Dodgers a bone. It's not like they were throwing 80mph fastballs down the middle the entire time. The Sox were trying to win yesterday and they didn't.

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

Baseball history is full of rigged games. Google it. In 1919 the World series was proven to have been rigged. It happens in lesser competitions quite frequently.

If 4 games are played instead of 7 that cuts advertisers profits by almost 60%.

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

I know about the Black Sox of 1919, breh. And I know that lesser competitions have been rigged. It doesn't mean this World Series is rigged.

Complete sweeps are hard to get in any sport. A team would have to either be ridiculously bad in comparison or have made an error that cost them a win (like J.R. Smith's at the end of Game 1 in the Finals this year) for a team to have been swept in a playoff series.

Just claiming the series is rigged removes any and all discussion about how the teams where playing, what mistakes players made, what bad decisions the managers made, and so on an so forth. But I know that you don't really care for that shit, and just want to claim the series is rigged and cite something that happened 100 years ago as proof.

Why you got to mention that, you piece of shit?

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

It doesn't mean it's rigged de facto. It's just a possibility and corporate greed lends to rigging. But the Dodgers are winning right now so maybe they can pull it off. I live in LA, foo. Who do you think I'm rooting for?

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

18 innings means more advertising dollars. Don't you get it?!?! They are all going to be 18 innings now!

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

No, that doesn't follow. The point is to hook consumers in for more games, not longer games. Once they're viewing it doesn't matter much if the game is 4 hours or 8 hours. Viewership actually drops off towards the end when the game is longer.

Re: The World Series is so obviously rigged.

Yep! As Blankman just said, you can't argue with all that ironclad evidence!
