Right, and this is why this is such a bigger problem than just how it affects gamblers, because so many fans in general are adopting that kind of cynicism.
After a couple of players on the Cleveland Guardians were arrested last year for fixing specific pitches that they intentionally threw as balls, allegedly, and we were able to bet tens of thousands of dollars on that.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I think the argument that today's athletes are uncorruptible is so ridiculous and there's so many reasons why.
It's even important to remember that fixing doesn't necessarily mean failing, right?
You could bet on, will the next pitch be off speed?
So you could just say, hey, I'm going to throw a breaking ball to lead off this batter.
Bet on that.
You're not trying to lose.
You're just giving them an inside edge.
You could bet on, who will the first player be to catch a pass in the Super Bowl?
So if the quarterback said, I'm going to throw it to my tight end, that's fixing, but it's not...
it's not intentionally losing.

Tony Clark, the former baseball player, is now head of the Players Union, spoke to me saying the Players Association was not consulted as legalization took off.
He's worried about all the threats that players are facing, the temptation for them to gamble, thinks something must be done.
You've seen athletes recently, Tyrese Halliburton in the NBA said, you know, I feel like a prop out there.
I don't like what's happening.
