This is telling me 44% of the population believes that wrestling is real. No wonder they’ll believe anything Bush says.
Actually not quite.
What it’s telling you is that 44% didn’t think it was fixed – but there would be a large % of no opinion on all sports.
Many sports fans don’t watch everything – so minority sports – such as wrestling or NASCAR or golf or tennis etc – will get a significant “don’t know”.
And let’s factor in the margin of error – 5% of respondants thought that the Olympics are fixed

Missed a day off work or school 20% – YES!!
Traveled more than 250 miles to get there 19% – ABSOLUTELY!!
Tailgated for 3 or more hours 17% – NO – DON’T TAILGATE – PERIOD!!
Scalped a ticket 13% – MORE THAN ONCE!!
Verbally abused players from another team 10% – YOU BET!!

:baaa:You’re right. It would be harder, and different. I don’t think they are fixed… just that it wouldn’t impossible.
Kinda like horse racing… Trying to fix an outcome in skiing is difficult because you can only convince so many participants to go along, and you’re chances of being caught go up dramatically with each person you approach.
Of those listed in this thread, I’d say that only NBA and Boxing allow any real opportunities for that. MLB and NFL – only if you can find someone who will surely touch the ball a lot.

as you have stated in the past sir … we seldom disagree and I’m thinking this is more of a lack of “thought-out” than disagreeing …
not too mention this matters about as much as disagreeing about whether NASA ever actually landed on the moon
so with that said I offer that even one pass-interference ,… one getting beaten at the position of pass-blocker, or pass defender position at a key-moment in timing can change an nfl game greatly and yet the ball is never touched.
