Futurama > Rick and Morty
Without even attempting to be edgy. R&M's 3rd season solidified my stance.
Wilson Evolution basketballs suck, so do the Solution. From the feel, to the channels.
I hate having to play with them every time I hoop because dudes swear they are best.
And I am pissed at Spalding for ruining the TF-1000 and cursing me to his hell.
The top 10 r&m episodes are better than the entire run of futurama
Explain to which degree you feel it is scriptedProfessional Sports are scripted
Agree,never was into Futurama though. Probably close to the bottom of the list of animated shows aimed at adults.The top 10 r&m episodes are better than the entire run of futurama
I follow boxing more than any other sport. The fixing in boxing is peanuts compared to the bigger sports such as basketball and football. In boxing you have shady promoters and managers. The fixing usually comes in the form of someone being instructed to throw a fight or corrupt judges, but that is about as far as it goes. The more viewers the more elaborate the fixing is.I feel like that would be difficult besides boxing
Explain to which degree you feel it is scripted
This is a broad statement
So who was "in the know" on the Hayward situation? Is it just Brad and GH, or does the entire Celtics Team know what is going down?This might ruffle some feathers, but I believe that Gordon Hayward's injury on opening night was fake. This is to prolong him and Brad Stevens from winning a championship, which will happen in a year or two. It's sort of like with Jordan retro's they always screw up a couple parts just so you anticipate the next release. So, the Celtics are going to fall short this season, then the discussions will be what if they had Hayward? Of course we remember the NCAA championship when Hayward missed the game winning shot. When he does finally win a championship with Coach Stevens, it will complete the Cinderella story.
My grandmother was a huge basketball fan and she believed until the day she died that it was fixed at almost every level. I don't know if I believe it's straight up rigged but they are definitely shady things going on in the NBA and college and to some extent high school.I follow boxing more than any other sport.

The powers that be decide which teams make the playoff and win championships. It goes far beyond handing over the trophy to the "winners" or covering a points spread. But gambling is a component of fixing games. The outcomes of these games affect the economy of the cities that the team represents. They are not going to let that be decided by chance. The feuds and injuries recently in the NBA are so obviously scripted. They're all actors. It's just like WWE they create good guys and villains. Sometimes the good guy wins, and vice versa. They also like to create fairy tale endings.

I'm not saying that these athletes are not capable of jumping four feet off the ground or catching a football over a defender. I'm saying that the feuds, storylines, and winners are scripted and that is where the acting comes in. Now if the Hayward injury is indeed fake, I couldn't tell you how it was done. The stunts in movies and pro wrestling look pretty damn realistic and I couldn't explain how. Hollywood just has a way with special effects.Haywards injury looked real tho lol.
And also these are athletes...theyre not actors
Alot of the emotion seems genuine.
But the main thing to me is..considering the sheer amount of players in the NBA and NFL, someone would have said something.
I like the unpopop tho

If we are talking about media driven/forced/created, storylines to peak fan interest/participation then sure, pro sports are SCRIPTED.
I don't think it is an unpopular opinion to think the media purposely stirs up trouble.
I doubt that everyone is in on the scheme. There are certainly tiers even among all stars. Though I do think most of the all-stars are the ones who have deals with the devil so to speak. If they spill the beans or break the code then there will be consequences.
Speak more on the deals with the devil?
1. Is this mandatory free masonry??
2. Do these demons help players elevate their sklls?
3. What happens when they refuse?
Just interested in your theories
I'm not saying that EVERY injury, trade, or feud for that matter is fake. The Boogie Cousins injury could be real or it could be fake. I have been analyzing the possible angles for it to be fake. I do have several possibilities but I will get back to you when I have more substantial information.So you're saying injuries are scripted. I guess Boogie just voluntarily tore his Achilles the other night, right?
