Why did this need its own thread? This was brought up days ago in other threads.

Fixed doesn't mean scripted outcome. If refs are paid to influence a game, it's still a "real" game.

Yea it's a real game but why would you waste your time cheering and rooting for this game or any game if you believe the refs are being paid by the sponsors to influence the refs to making calls that could effect the outcome of the game. Might as well spend your time on something you actually believe in.

You will if questionable calls are consistently made and we lose by 3

If Green Bay beats us at home, when were full strength, with that inferior roster, we deserved to lose. This one won't be on the refs.

Maybe the same reason we watch movies. You know the good guy isn't going to die and is going to end up winning, but we watch anyways. This is why I think movies are scripted and are predetermined.

Because in the end it's just entertainment. This romantic notion that pro sports is somehow honorable or pure is ridiculous.

Not only is it its own thread - its based on a a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

Let me discount double check that...Reasons the Niner's vs. KC makes sense:

1. Best QB in the league vs best passing defense in the league
2. Kelce vs Kittle
3. Andy Reid vs his old team
4. Dee Ford vs his old team and the fan-base who still blames him for the penalty which 'cost them' the AFC Championship last year
