You CANNOT be serious about intentionally losing or throwing games. I know you’re not. Right..??
Shades of 1919…..SMH
“Say it ain’t so, Joe. Say it ain’t so.!!”
Why all the drama? Not like it hasn’t been done.
And Wilkes is a decent coach, guys, but he ALWAYS INHERITED his team, he hasn’t had a real chance to be a team builder yet to be considered a top coach.
BCF... You asked..."Why all the drama? Not like it hasn't been done."
So, I'll respond to that question/statement, with the same amount of snark it was asked............ *** Just because something "has been done," doesn't mean it "should be done." And additionally, the 'results' of efforts to manipulate scores and games frequently turn out to have very adverse consequences. AND, adding to that, everyone should remember....those "efforts" to artificially impact scores, games, and thereby manipulate events further 'downstream' like the NFL Draft sequence, is patently and demonstrably illegal. There is no better way to get individuals and TEAMS in very real trouble than to start "manipulating" scores and games.
If anyone here believes differently, or has a general blasé or "no big deal" attitude about this, I urge you to review what happened in the 1919 World Series. Professional sports has been fighting for a "clean image" for a long time. There is NO REASON to give NFL football, and most especially, the Carolina Panthers a black eye over this issue. Like hanging garlic around a vampire's neck, it would seriously impact the Panthers forever.
I hope that answers your question..."Why all the drama?"
