With all of the things that have come out recently about Tiger Woods, politicians, company share holders, etc., it doesn't really surprise me that an NBA referee comes out about gambling on games. You wanna know why?
BECAUSE REFEREES HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL GAMES
Power has been so overly abused within this decade that anyone with power that doesn't use it to their advantage should get a Nobel Peace Prize. The dishonesty just seems that common.
Many have used the phrase "If you're not cheating, you're not trying", when speaking about the various sports scandals that have come out (particularly steroid use) and this professional referee business is no different. As a whole, we may not be expecting this from the zebras on the court with whistles around their necks because we have entrusted them and their skill with making the game just. However, when these people (yes they are people just like you and I) come out and admit that they've been cheating on games once they get their hands caught in the cookie jar let's give them a hand for having a good run. They will get their consequences as they should and some time will blow over and we will catch someone else in the act. It's a vicious cycle that continually occurs in sports no matter who gets caught and how they are penalized, and it will never stop.
In my opinion, cheating happens all around us and it has evolved our society into what it has become. The person with the power will do whatever it takes to keep it and will not worry about who has to get crushed in the process. It's the American way!
Oh and please enjoy the video.
Thanks for hearing me out. Let me know what you think.
Smarten up and don't let anything dumb you down
