NOTES
The simple, undeniable truth -- Student-athletes -- Uncorrupted and incorruptible -- Equipment failure -- Fisticuffs -- Everything possible to lose games -- Itch it -- Let them score -- The third man -- Get you a fall guy -- LOL. I got a baseball game that will be fixed -- Mafia money -- I congratulate you on your re-election -- The only difference is the haircut -- Why the mass silence? -- 322 -- Sabotage -- I've lost all respect, sorry -- What if I lost? -- Fare thee well
The author further reveals the ties between the leagues and TV networks, questions the legacies of sports heroes such as Muhammad Ali, and uncovers ignored truths about the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, UFC, NASCAR, boxing, horse racing, eSports, and NCAA football and basketball. Using verifiable sources, personal interviews, and never-before-seen information obtained from the FBI, he paints a disturbing portrait of sports in America--one unlike what you'd ever see or hear on ESPN
