We say "there is no league-wide conspiracy". You say "the unjust influence of a referee - even though not part of a league-wide conspiracy - is really bad." You're misrepresenting my position as being that referee's betting on games & trying to throw them to make some cash isn't a bad thing. In fact, that's an entirely different argument. Again, I'll restate my argument here: A league-wide conspiracy involving a "mastermind" (who may or may not be the Commissioner) and at least one team of officials, affecting the outcome of any single game, is extremely unlikely.

Since the Donaghy claims were asserted without proof, I hereby dismiss them without proof.
