Anyone suspect these Finals/Super Bowls/World Series are fixed?

Remember, you're talking to 5 year old kids who think America is the only country without cheaters and crooks. The holding thing and the do-overs definitely is a way to rig play. Teams going up 3-1 in a series, or up 20 something points, then mysteriously stop playing seriously reeks like hell. Look at Atlanta in that first half, Golden State and Cleveland in the NBA and MLB Finals. The series was over. The game last night was over. Then all of a sudden, the winning team forgets to play and loses. I saw this too much last year to fall for it anymore
A LOT of these Finals are just shady as hell. -

What's even more laughable than yesterday's obviously rigged outcome was the 7th game of the NBA finals where the GS Warriors were "held"
to 13 points in the final quarter. A team with the two best shooters in the league, the highest scoring team in the league, and with the best record ever in the league, all of a sudden suddenly simply forgot how to score. 13 Points. Less than 1 point per minute. Braindead sheep.

It's impossible to script these. Hitting a baseball is too hard to control. Making an NBA shot is too hard to control. Throwing/catching a football is too hard to control, particularly the way Edelman had to catch it.

Not a sports person. Fangirl who married a Raiders fan in 1980. After attending a few games in the 80s I decided the only sense to make of it was it was rigged. Not wrestling level scripted, but the number of referee calls where they missed stuff, but then caught stuff no one else saw
They know who they're sending to the Super Bowl every year.

If you were deciding by coin flips, a team coming back from 3-1 down should happen in 1 out of every 8 series. But when you have home arenas and injuries and all that going on, or the better team is down 3-1, the odds go down.
