What's the hell happened to sport?

I’d settle for a boxed trifecta.

22

Just spat cabana everywhere.
Ironic

For American football, I’d also add concussion / brain trauma controversy.

24

You can add the cobalt controversy in horse racing here as well.

Seems everyone in sport is trying to gain an advantage over a competitor one way or another and coming majorly unstuck.

25

assume all sports are corrupt and then work backwards, like charities - assume <10% is returned and then work backwards

For anyone with a fixing interest, this was a “list” that was in circulation a few years ago.

So if this is relevant, your US fixing (and doping lolz) champ is Cilic, with Penetta the other possibility. Others like Del Potro and Stosur are not listed, though not that that means anything…

Only because she’s only ever seen next to weedy female players or reporters
My friend is the same - she looks Hulk big in photos, in real life (or in photos with guys) she’s tiny

When sports went from amateur to professional everything changed. It's no longer a past time it's now a job.

So yep money is the issue. Especially when fat cat administrators can just get rich by adding very little value to the sport. Look how many people the AFL employs. Why the hell do they need their own media department when there are plenty of other non independent media organisations willing to pedal the company line. The money makes it a self for-filling prophecy- they need more of it to keep ‘growing the game’ and their own bank balances.

Get rid of money from the organisations that run the sports and things will change.

I heard some discussion on this recently. Apparently the AFL employs around 650ish people equivalent full-time, (which is around 100% up on 5 years ago), and their wage bill has increased around 300% in the same period. So they are employing more people and paying them more.

The English Premier League employs 63 people full time.

The AFL operates more along the lines of the English FA than directly compared to the EPL. English FA does the developmental grass roots stuff all the way up to the premier League.

Would be very surprised if they employed less than 650 people.

Corruption has been in sport for over a hundred of years - It evens goes back to the first Olympic Games - Sometimes its easy to imagine things.
You should read up on the cheating that took place in the early versions of the Tour de France. Sht was like a fkn Road Runner cartoon

Now revelations emerging that $25,000 was wagered on an obscure mixed doubles game at the Open. By contrast, $2000 had been wagered on all the other mixed doubles games combined that were occurring on the same day.

Game was done in 2 sets. Give you one guess what the first set score was - that’s right, 6-0.
