Enough is enough, I posed this question in another thread but feel the need to challenge this to the entire forum.

Can anyone provide info pertaining to a sports franchise purposely losing games to improve their draft position?

I'm even expanding this to other sports, I cannot think of a single time when a team obviously lost games in order to improve their draft positioning.

I don't believe that this is a real strategy and if that is the case, this weird fan fueled theory needs to be put to rest once and for all.

(BONUS: if you can provide an example of a team doing this, please include how this improved their team in the long run ie Rhule mentioning the Sixers believing in this method and it getting them nowhere...)

Isn’t that the reason the NBA has the draft lottery to prevent teams from intentionally tanking?

I found this article on wiki full of a few acquisitions over the last century. nothing concrete. obviously the NBA had this in mind, and is different with that amount of games played vs NFL. still sounds like a farce though.

The Philadelphia 76ers even named their tanking ‘the process’ and their star player was not shy about admitting it either as he sat out due to injuries

get it philadelphia 76ers GIF by NBA

how's that plan working?

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By JRaymond · Posted

      Here are more fun facts about Peyton Manning's rookie season: Peyton ranked 3rd in total passing yards, 5th in passing touchdowns, 4th in 1st-down completions, 11th in TD%, and 8th in completions that were 20 yards or more.  Now let's look at how Bryce compared to his peers: 20th in total passing yards, 28th in passing TDs, 21st in 1st-down completions, 31st in TD%, and 27th in completions that were 20 yards or more.  To put it mildly, Peyton showed plenty of flashes as a franchise quarterback. Bryce? Not so much, almost none at all, as a matter of fact. Oh, and Peyton is legit 6'4", literally head and shoulders above Bryce. I sometimes wonder if Bryce defenders are sentient at all.
