Welcome everybody. You may know me as DawnOfXatu, or even DOX, from these forums. I have laid dormant about a huge injustice that has been plaguing the modern world for the last couple of past decades. I talk of none other than the MLB (Major League Baseball). Now most of you have been brainwashed. You have been able to avoid the truth for a massive amount of time. I talk of course of the fact that the MLB is fixed. Now before I go any further I must make one thing clear.
If you just say that this thread is stupid and just call me crazy, then I WILL report you.
Now that you have all read that I may move on to make my points.
Thesis Statement
Now of course my thesis is that the MLB is fixed. Not only do I have the proof, but I have actually been able to debate this point with MLB experts and other sports fanatics. The fact that the MLB is fixed may not have the clarity to be proven or falsified. Therefore I will give you all of my information that I use to fight for my side. Although this may seem far beyond belief, I challenge any and everybody to counter one of my points with real logic.
Exhibit A: The Reason
I will start my arguement with a simple question. "What is the purpose of the MLB?" In case you are not aware, the main reason for professional sports is one thing. Capital (Money). Some may say that professional sports are to entertain, but that is a means for people to make money. If you think that things like the MLB are made to entertain, then you are a self-centered person. Now obviously you must realize that fixing the MLB would be much easier to make money. There are plenty of ways in which being able to know who wins before the match could be beneficial, and of course lead to more money in peoples pockets.
Exhibit B: Easy Money with Organized Crime
The first way in which the MLB could benefit from fixing the games is the obvious one. Throughout this whole paper I will make various accusations in which I state that the MLB, and other pro sports, are in conjunction with organized crime, so that they can make more money. This may not seem like a lot but an easy way in which money can be made, is by abusing an addiction of people, gambling. Gambling has been made illegal throughout the U.S. but that doesn't mean that it has disappeared completely. The Mob (Term that I'll use for organized crime gangs) has been shown to be a key player in most of the gambling that takes place illegaly in the U.S. They can also be shown to have connections with gambling establishments, like the one in Atlantic City. So now what does this have to do with anything? Well I propose that with the information gained by knowing who wins Baseball matchups, the Mob, and other gambling related personel (Bookies) can skewer the odds projected by gambling establishments, as well as use the addiction to baseball to reap money from the masses. Of course you are all wondering "How can the people skewer the results?" The answer to that is that the Mob (having such a big claim in the process) can tell the MLB who to let win. Thus giving the Mob a way of making the most money off of gamblers. Not only that, but the MLB also uses its vast somes of money to bankrupt any gambling establishment that opposes the Mob. If they MLB already knows who the winner is, then making a vast some of money off of people becomes as easy as finding a third party person to make the bet.
Exhibit C: How they Fix the Games
Well that has obviously been your question for the better part of this essay, no? Well of course it isn't a very difficult idea to think of. I propose that the players of the MLB are in fact required to use Steroids, as well as corked bats. Not only that, but the actual pitching order, and what type of pitches that a pitcher will use are given to the opposing team in advance. That is so that the games can be made long, short, interesting, boring, exciting, or heart-breaking. All of the players in the MLB are all skilled actors of a sort. They are all able to hit homers without a problem, every time that they need to. Which is another way in which they are able to help make the games stop when they are needed to stop. The actual idea of how the MLB could fix a game isn't very hard to imagine. It is how the MLB works outside of the game that makes this hard to swallow.
Exhibit D: The use of Merchandise to make the most of the Money
Well this is of course where the MLB makes their money. They use their ability to fix games to stimulate the sales of certain products. These products are of course all over the country, and although they may not be able to sell all of the merchandise, they can make those teams that aren't doing as well in sales have a stimulus in their sales. Take for example the Boston Red Sox. The fans of this team were starting to loose their faith in 2000-2003 which of course started to damage the sales of their products. With Massachusettes growing quickly in population at the time, it had become the best possible time for them to win. In 2004 the Boston Red Sox were given their victory, stimulating sales, and letting them increase the sales in the New England area. With merchandise sales being the biggest way for the MLB to make its money, then fixing the games becomes a needed truth. There needs to be a specific area in which sales were highest, for a long time that area was New York City. As you can see, the teams that win the most are the teams in highest popularity, mainly because nobody would buy more merchandise if a team like the Pittsburg Pirates started to win more often.
Exhibit E: What if they Talk?
Well that has been the question that I have gotten the most with the introduction of this theory. What if the members of teams/other important people talk? Well although I may not have the most perfect explanation, I do have a theory in which I can explain this. My theory is that the people who are part of the MLB aren't paid in conventional means. The players are paid in MLB stocks. Those stocks allow the MLB to have complete financial control over its players. Although that doesn't stop the players from talking. It does leave a negative effect if they do talk. So if a person threatens to talk/talks then they will become completely broke. Not only that but with the MLB's connection to the Mob, it isn't completely impossible to think that the Mob can just "whack" anybody who has any actual proof that the MLB is a corrupt group. One last possibility, if someone threatens to talk, say A-Rod, the MLB can easily just bring out their proof that the player has taken steroids or has used a corked bat. With that the player looses any and all creditability, causing them to be hounded by the press, and add to an overall negative outcome.
The Conclusion
Well as you all can see, I have made a point to say that the MLB is corrupt, and could easily be in conjunction with organized crime. I would like to leave you with a little simile. The MLB is like the WWE. It is purely used to make money, through Paying for TV Specials, and of course Merchandise. The MLB is also fixed and they follow the same formula as the WWE. If you are any bit familiar with the WWE, then you would know that the World Champ is always around for a decent period of time, until they start to lose popularity and become a handicap for sales. Then the Heavyweight Champ is replaced constantly with a string of useless placeholders until they find a fitting replacement for sales. For a long time we had a Heavyweight Champ that was in high popularity.
(The NY Yankees) after their long win streak, they were replaced, and then there was a string of useless placeholders, until the time in which they find a suitable replacement.
