And I’d rather not watch it on tv if I know it’s fixed. It takes all my enjoyment out of sports - one of the things I enjoy in life!
Same argument for drugs and alcohol - go ahead, be free to do what you want to yourself. But when you cross a line and your actions affect me, my friends etc…… that’s not acceptable.
