If the NBA truly wanted to maximize profits, they wouldn't risk damaging external relations, sponsorships, viewership, etc. by rigging games. The NBA is an international brand, not an underground organization. I can tell most of you have never run a successful business before.
ur making to much sense. You need to realize that with the money comes the power and many things that should be, are not brought to light, and can go on for a long time until someone/something happens or slips up. Is it possible this is happening? Yes. Is it happening? Who knows. Nothing is cetain, but to assume that those types of actions do not happen is thinking far to rationally. Unethical behaviors happen often in business, and a short-term view of profits is often at the forefront.
i'm not argueing either way, just that much of what happens in the world today is based on money/business, so to use that and say, no way is that a relavant statement, is in itself completely useless. This situation is not seperate from today's society as a whole.
