It is pure entertainment. But then again, you could say that ALL sports are a hoax; as there is a lot of match fixing going on between both individuals and team sports. So instead of losing interest in the sport, just take it with a 'pinch of salt' and accept it as it is - PURE ENTERTAINMENT'

well its one of the various topics that has been discussed so much. Actually, sledging is very restructed these days as it leads 2 big fines. So most of the players avoid it. But the thing is that when u r playing for ur country, the passion is running so high that, the pl;ayers just erupt even at the slightest of provocation..... Its the part of the game and even the audions enjoy it so much

I would like to know too.  I don't get OLN and I don't understand how ESPN shows poker and not hockey.  Seriously, whoever watches poker on TV needs to get a life.

Nothing is what it seams. I think that there is corruption everywhere. There was trouble over tickets, someone from FIFA was sacked/asked to leave because they was selling tickets 2 or 3 times face value.\n\nBut as for match fixing, i think is almost impossible. \n\nBut hey who's knows in this freaking world.

the whitesox scandal put a black mark against all of baseball. gambling back then, like today is a no-no. when the newspapers got a hold of the news of the world series fix, a smart editor changed the word whitesox to show everyone that the team cheated and hurt baseball, hence Blacksox Scandal.  Hope this helps.

Even if you say off the field activities should not matter, Rose's gambling possibly affected the on-the-field results of the games he managed.  Rose disobeyed one of the most sacred rules of the game, and compromised the integrity of the game.  Keep him out.

I see where you are coming from.  We are for the most part free, but there are A LOT of restrictions here.  My husband is an immigrant and he thinks some of our rules are funny.\n\nLike, gambling is illegal in most places.  He thinks nothing of going into a betting shop (there's at least one in every town in his home country) and placing a bet on a horserace.\n\nAlso, he thinks it's funny that our television is censored and we can't say or show certain things on regular tv.  In Europe, for the most part, anything after 9pm doesn't have to be edited for content.\n\nHe thinks it's weird we're not allowed to travel to Cuba.  It's just the little things like that.\n\nBut, I'd rather live here than most other places!!  I love my country too, but I don't like being made to feel like I'm constantly being watched by the thought-police.

Trading Schemes, Multi-level marketing, Pyramid Selling, Chain Letters, and Gifting Schemes Fact Sheet\nURN No: 05/1738\n\nSubject: Trading Schemes, Multi-level marketing, Pyramid Selling, Chain Letters, and Gifting Schemes \n\nRelevant or Related Legislation:\n\nPart XI of the Fair Trading Act, as amended by the Trading Schemes Act 1996 and the Trading Schemes Regulations 1997. The Gambling Act 2005. \n\nCurrent Position:\n\n• There are no immediate plans to review the trading schemes legislation.\n\n• There is precedent for schemes operating as chain letters being subject to the Lotteries and Amusement Act 1976.  However, under the Gambling Act 2005 (when commenced) it will be an offence for a person to invite someone to join a chain-gift scheme or for them to knowingly participate in the promotion, administration or management of a chain-gift scheme.  The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) have policy responsibility for the Gambling Act 2005. \n\nRecent Relevant Campaigns or Consultation:\n\nThe Office of Fair Trading (OFT) Scams Awareness month in February 2005 and the jointly produced booklet ‘How to Recognise a Scam’ included some relevant warnings, including: \n\n• What am I being asked to pay for?\n• Can I afford to lose the money?\n• Does it look to good to be true? (If it does, it probably is) \n\nKey Facts:\n\n• DTI has enforcement responsibility for Trading Schemes legislation and will investigate schemes which appear to be breaking the law. \n\n• Trading schemes can be a legitimate opportunity for people to operate a business from home and are not illegal in the UK.\n\n• Trading schemes become illegitimate and illegal if, while purporting to offer business opportunities, the sole purpose of the scheme is to make money by recruiting other participants, rather than trading in goods or services. This form of bogus scheme is sometimes referred to as "pyramid selling". \n\n• There are also a wide range of bogus schemes which do not claim to trade in goods or services but which are known as "pyramid schemes". Schemes operating as chain letters or games are common examples. \n\n• All these bogus schemes need an infinite supply of new participants for everyone to make money. Since the supply will always be finite, the pyramid must collapse eventually and most participants will lose their money. \n\n• All schemes where money changes hands are subject to the general criminal law on fraud, theft, and deceit and the police are responsible for enforcement of the law in these areas. \n \n For more info: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page24752.html\n\ncc

It doesn't say much for YA that they maintain categories for curling, handball, and darts, and ignore running and other T&F events.  \n\nYou can tell the nerds running this site don't know much about sports - thousands of categories for travel and tech, yet the sports section is pretty much terrible.
