Okay, so I was messing around online today and came across this wild question: “Is it legal for the NFL to fix games?” I mean, it sounds like something out of a conspiracy theory, right? But it got me thinking, so I decided to do some digging.
First, I started with a basic search. Just typed it straight into the search bar. I scrolled through a bunch of forums and articles, most of them just fan speculation and stuff.
Then, I found some articles talking about how the NFL is classified. Apparently, it’s considered “sports entertainment,” which is kinda weird when you think about it. It’s not like a scripted show, or is it? that where my head start to be confused.
I kept digging, and that’s where things got interesting.
I discovered that because of this “sports entertainment” label, the NFL might actually have some legal leeway. I am not sure if it is 100% true, I just share my finding based on today’s record.
So, based on what I found, it seems like the NFL could potentially get away with fixing games without facing major legal trouble. It’s all because of that “sports entertainment” thing. It’s not considered a legitimate sport in the same way, so the rules are apparently different.
It is a tricky thing, after my reasearch, I summarized them in a simple sentence, yes, the NFL can legally fix its games with no legal liabilities, and this is because they fall under ‘sports entertainment’ and not real sport.
Honestly, the whole thing is pretty mind-blowing. I’m still not sure what to believe, to be honest. It definitely makes you think twice about the games, though, right?
