You got to know there's a cabal of super rich people hiding behind the curtain pulling the strings. lol
On a different but tangentially related topic (sports scandals being covered up for financial reasons), I'm convinced that Ohtani's interpreter took the fall for Ohtani's own gambling problem.

And Michael Jordan's first retirement after the 1992-1993 season was because he was constantly gambling, but the league couldn't make that public because of how detrimental it would be to the NBA as a whole. So he was allowed to "retire" instead of being suspended.

And other teams were almost certainly involved in the sign stealing scandal in MLB several years ago, possibly even my home team the Minnesota Twins. If you look at the record for the most home runs hit by a team in the course of one season, 4 of the top 5 slots are all from the 2019 season. The Twins came out of nowhere to break that record that year. Looking at the top 26 Seasons/Teams, something like 10 of them are all from the 2019 season. Juiced baseballs? I don't think so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...me_run_records
