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?

It is obvious, especially since all of the major professional sports are now being sponsored by sports book betting sites and apps. Referees and umpires can control the outcome of games with just a few "questionable" calls on penalties and fouls on teams and more obviously certain star players get preferential treatment.
