In sports we have discovered corruption and match fixing with professional sport teams. All the leagues have the ability to control the league, coaches, and players. Many journalism does not do a lot of investigating within the leagues. Many things are being ignored. Great cancer that destroy sports is known as corruption and match fixing. Money is taking from coaches and athletes. It’s a powerful gambling market where its illegal. I recently found out that tennis is the easiest game to be fixed. In E-Gaming many people, thought things were going on too. People are not being paid properly either. For example, NFL makes around ten to eleven billions of dollars a season on revenue. Television networks take some of the revenue money that is made in the league. Match- fixing is more common than ever is becoming more of an issue. Many people believe that the advent of online gambling has increased the risk of match fixing for financial gain. Globalization also plays a role – criminal seekings to fix matches that can connect and meet with athletes, coaches, and officials from all over the world. I feels as globalization is disrupting the sport industry and something has to be done about this. The sport leagues cannot be trusted as much and it makes the game less entertaining. I had some previous thoughts on the NFL on the league being rigged. The referees congratulating Tom Brady at the end of the super bowl game. The scene that I had witnessed seem a little bit awkward to me. Many people try to make money on gambling when they know the outcome of the game result. This corruption and matching fixing should taken more seriously based on the amount of money certain officials make. This is a major threat to the sport and something has to be done because if we do not our future sports will be affected.
