Are there any cases of obviously rigged sports games?
In the world of sports, it's not unheard of for games to be rigged or influenced. There are infamous cases like the 1919 Chicago White Sox, where players were accused of intentionally losing the World Series. Then we have the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals which was suspected of being rigged to extend the series to seven games for higher revenues. Even in soccer, the Calciopoli scandal rocked Italy when top teams were found guilty of choosing favorable referees. So, yes, sadly, sports aren't always the fair play we'd like to believe.
