What sport you think is the most fix?

SellmeyourDVD · 05-15-2009, 06:41 PM

It depends on if A rod is playing that day or not

Another_Dude · 05-15-2009, 06:41 PM

Professional Wrestling

Baseball by far.

I don't think I've ever seen more people test positive for steroids anywhere... and the funniest thing is that it's the most boring sport in the world and they're taking steroids likely to liven things up a bit.

Right now, it has to be Baseball....

I assumed you mean most fixed, in which case I'd say boxing. Is that even an option?

People might use steroids in baseball, but that doesn't mean the game is fixed at all.

If you instead meant which sport is most in need of getting fixed, I'd say boxing or hockey, because both are falling off the charts of American interest. Baseball has the steroids issue, but I don't know if people really care anymore about that, though I think that should be fixed too.

yeah if anyone says anything other then boxing #1... well I just wouldn't get it lol

Which sport is the most fixed?! I associate the word "fixed" in the context of sport more with intentionally affecting the outcome of a game/match by mailing it in or a exercising a premeditated plan to intentionally make a mistake that could cost your team (or yourself, depending on the sport) a victory. One could also apply a referee's/umpire's/judge's actions to act as non-disinterested to be a fix as well; e.g. when a ref makes a terrible call on purpose so that one team would get an advantage over the other. That is to say, it is an official's job to be disinterested; if they are not, they have likely been persuaded and would be "fixing" the outcome of the game/match/etc.

To me, drug use doesn't really fall under the category of "fixed."

Unless there's something I'm missing, I'm going to go with boxing as the most fixed sport.

American interest?

How can Hockey make it into a country where some of it isn't frozen half the year? *LOL*

You can't count Wrestling. WWE has admitted they are "fixed" more than once..even to the federal government. Even if its scripted, those guys take a beating.

I'd have to go with NASCAR. Mystery cautions for debris for when the popular drivers are falling behind and are in danger of getting lapped or getting passed for the lead. NASCAR's rule book is written on a chalkboard.

MLB and boxing go without saying lol

Frank White · 05-15-2009, 08:26 PM

boxing is the most fixed imo. but its been dead for awhile now. the 80's were the last great era of boxing. these days its just about making money.

Beats me, but last I checked 80% of the NHL plays in the US. How's the Canadian equivalent of the NHL working out?

And apparently weather doesn't matter, because didn't the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup a few years ago? It snows in Raleigh about once a year (if at all), and probably drops below freezing less than a dozen days per year. I don't even know if people in Tampa Bay remember what cold feels like.

If hockey were still played outdoors, I can see the argument, but I don't think anyone really associates hockey with cold weather anymore.

Steroids does not = "fixed" in my book.

What is "NCAA"?

College sports.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-15-2009, 08:38 PM

Why is WWE on this list? It is scripted, just like any TV show or movie.

As for legitimate sports being fixed, the NBA tops my list. The referees have way too much control in determining the outcome of a game.
