What People Are Getting Wrong This Week: Is the NFL Rigged?

There's a growing murmur among sports fans that the NFL is rigging football games to engineer victory for the Kansas City Chiefs. I looked into their claims and found them highly unlikely. Here's why,

the National Football League fixed the 2025 season in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs because it makes everyone the most money. If the Chiefs have been blown out in the playoff, the league wouldn't have sold as many Patrick Mahomes jerseys. ABC wouldn't be able to charge as much for the commercials that air during the game. We might not have to listen to Chiefs' coach Andy Reid say "bundle-rooski" so often; online gambling companies would have fewer bettors; the guys who sell hot dogs outside the stadium in New Orleans would sell fewer hot dogs. You get the idea: The Chiefs doing well is good business.
