Why Not Prove - It's Not Rigged??

My sister wanted to talk to me about Jeopardy! which had a bizarre rarely seen ending last night. The winner walked away with the tidy sum of $1. He was the previous champion from the two previous days. My second reaction (after, "Wow") was that of wonder if it would be proclaimed to be rigged.


Nah. The YouTubers and bloggers want the smoking gun. Did you hear about me? I'm the one that broke the story first that Paddock was actually shooting from the basement! I'm the guy that makes brave knights swoon and women tremble!


And the numbers are rather boring. $1 vs. $0 vs. $0. It's like the exciting conclusion of an hours long soccer game ending in a 0-0 tie. Which unless there's nice injury (ALL sports injuries are fake, you know?) it's not going to get any attention. Dan's the only one consistently reporting on game shows. But unless there's someone dying of cancer or Alex Trebek hits one of the contestants with a 105 mph microphone there's nothing morbid enough to report on. Although the final question on last night's Jepoardy was a "killer".


It's boring. So though not really rigged it's not eye catching enough to draw attention.


But why not twist the script of something that was actually proven to be rigged by conventional means? Surely the evil empire has some use for throwing an innocent man in jail sometime.


Jimmy Gauld was an English footballer that headed up a game throwing con. Eventually, 33(!) players were indicted. That alone screams out freemasonry. Yet, in all this fuss about all professional sports being rigged this has not even been referenced as an aside. "Remember the Jimmy Gauld scandal. He sold his story for £7,000. While blah blah blah blah equals 70 and blah blah blah."


Oh, I get it. I've already listed some of the reasons. It's actually rigged. There's no smoking gun. The story is out of your comfort zone of turning not rigged into rigged. Nobody died directly as a result, unless there's a zombie Sam Peckinpah Bonnie and Clyde style shootout in a movie version. Dan would need some twins or the £ amount of his lunch involved to get interested. And it's English football. You don't mean ALL professional sports are rigged. Just the ones that you like.


That's just one example. Any serious research would include some historical references instead of constant focus on current headlines. The only use for history for these pinheads is declaring something a "tribute" to a past event or misquoting something Pythagoras supposedly was involved in.
