And I don't like when people throw around the term conspiracy theorist. But it does make you wonder, no?
I'm not even mad. When I was younger, I'd get mad if my team lost but now if I want to watch a game I try to just enjoy it for the players and the entertainment it provides. Sure I'd have loved for the Jays and Cubs to win, but it doesn't affect my life if they don't.
MLB sells you a baseball game. There is nothing that says they can't influence the powers that be to help out with whatever desired outcome is on tap that night. Look at the NBA. It's fake. I mean, there is serious rigging for certain teams/players. Just google it.
And MLB and American football produce $$$$. If there is lots of $$$$ involved, well, we know how the human race is.
