Have we officially gotten to the place where professional (and college) sports are difficult to watch?

There has been suspicion for years that games and championships were fixed.. but in the last couple of years it's become more and more blatant. it just seems like everything is planned and orchestrated and picked out months before the season starts. There's always going to be accidental wins, but the calls on the fields and the lackadaisical performances of some of the athletes, just makes it seem more and more obvious. Thoughts or opinions?

@Anothermrsockmonkey I've never played sports but I grew up watching it, but I think you're right. It's all business and no sport

@Anothermrsockmonkey And I played professionally for a little while and I can guar-an-freaking-tee you that there's no fixing in college or professional sports. If you were an athlete you should know that more than those who weren't. Are there are cases of bottom-dwelling teams holding guys out to get a better draft pick and protect an investment? Yeah. That's happened. But that's different than fixing for money.
