It isn't a crime? So, if you're going to spend hundreds of dollars to watch a pro football game, don't you expect for the game to be decided fair and square? Wouldn't you feel cheated if you found out that the opponent was involved in illegal activity to gain an advantage over your favorite team instead of playing them fair and square? I would. If I want to go see sports entertainment, I'll go see the WWE. But pro football is supposed to be a real competition between two teams consisting of professional players. If cheating is starting to become a non-issue in sports, then how far away are we from having predetermined outcomes? I personally think it's great that somebody is keeping things in check in order for us fans, as consumers, to get our money's worth.
