This is bad, This is very bad. Many have questioned it for years without success. Tim Donaghy is at the center of a federal investigation. The investigation consists of accusations that the NBA Ref “Fixed games and bet on ones that he officiated” Supposedly Donaghy had a gambling addiciton and was threatened by a string of Gangsters who where problem gamblers.
The sad thing is, Now every time you think you see a bad call there will be people claiming that there was corruption. A sad day for the NBA.
The worst part is that this will enable fans to claim any tough loss decided on a call they view questionable. Win by 1? Get ready to hear that “your team just paid the ref off” from sore losers.
This has the potential to be worse than the steroids scandal since steroids do not automatically produce a win, a ref in your pocket all but does.
