Not football, but big sports news

Damn 😬

Hard to imagine only two people involved in something like this so I wonder if there will be more arrests coming.

My memory isn't what it used to be but I'm not sure I remember a story of an active professional head coach being arrested before, and alongside a player for another team is wild.

"illegal gambling" translation is "the government wasn't getting their cut"

I don't pay attention to gambling or gambling laws much so I have no idea what makes it illegal in this particular case.

Still, an active head coach and player at the same time...wow 😳

I remember hearing about point shaving scandals when I was a kid.

That said, I don't remember seeing active professional players and coaches arrested, and in season

Oh, I think that is selective.  I mean, everyone can't do it.  Just like with everything else.  Only select folks are allowed to be bad.  They will try to weed out the random people trying to get in on things, it can't be a big thing everyone can get in on.  

I mean, isn't it pretty well acknowledged the mob back in they day influenced outcomes of sports?

Something illegal and unethical happens in the world of gambling. Color me shocked and amazed. Gambling is always on the up and up, right? People who either get put in a bad position or in a lucrative position would never ever ever violate the sanctity of the game, right?
