Does the NFL specifically conspire against the Saints and only the Saints? No.I have seen over the years that a lot of you are very passionate about Saints football… as am I. So how does one continue to have such a love for the game when it’s no longer fair and/or genuine??? How can someone who believes these conspiracies still follow the sport? Why would anyone willingly allow themselves to be duped by what they perceive to be a farce? How can you love the games???
Do they likely setup narratives and matchups and purposely keep teams in games late via penalty? Probably.
Do they do everything in their power to drive up revenue and can that potentially bleed over into very gray areas? Absolutely.
If you believe any of these to be true then you believe the NFL rigs games/matchups that favor higher revenue generating outcomes.
I don't think anyone believes that football games are as fake as wrestling but I do think that people understand that the NFL has a vested interest in who wins games and the storylines that can be created out of that. Does it always work out? Absolutely not. Does that mean they won't do their best to ensure that it does play out so they can generate max revenue? Absolutely not.
