SynopsisIn this long-anticipated sequel to his jarring takedown of professional sports, The Fix Is In, internationally recognized game fixing expert and scholarly authority Brian Tuohy further reveals the truths all sports fans need to know. Based on dedicated research and previously unreleased FBI files, each chapter exposes sports in a manner none of the major leagues' broadcast partners would dare attempt. No sport or league is spared as Tuohy rips through not only the likes of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and NASCAR, but also the PGA, UFC, eSports, horse racing, boxing, and both NCAA football and basketball. Along the way, championships are revealed as frauds, referees are exposed as accomplices, and legends are demolished. No sports fans should watch another game until they read this book and understand what truly is being presented as "pure" in America's professional sports leagues., Brian Tuohy, scholarly authority and America's leading match-fixing expert, is back with the next chapter in his ongoing series exposing the corruption within America's sports leagues. In The Fix Is Still In, Tuohy 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. More importantly. The Fix Is Still In asks fans to reconsider what it is they are consuming. Do fans understand that sports are entertainment, and that as a facet of show business, an entirely different set of rules applies to these multibillion , dollar businesses masquerading as sports? And do fans realize that they alone have the power to make the sports leagues change for the better? Book jacket., The sports entertainment complex generates 73 billion dollars per year for owners, players, investors, and advertisers. With that much money at stake, do you really think that the sports profiteers are leaving anything to chance? Brian Touhy, the renegade expert sports watchdog, has once again gathered the facts and figures that expose the abject, greedy collusion of professional sports leagues. Anything goes as long as the fans keep buying tickets and merchandise! Touhy's first book, The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NASCAR , blew open the doors on modern sports fixing. It's a decade later, and the fixers are bolder than ever. Kayfabe, a term used by professional wrestlers to describe the artifice and fakery specific to their craft, has applications far beyond that realm--as is evidenced by the New York Times using it to describe soccer great Neymar da Silva Santos rolling around the pitch in exaggerated pain. Have professional sports given up all pretense of pure chance and competition? The Fix is Still In demonstrates that from tax-funded stadiums to staged hockey fights, sports in America is the surest way to separate you from your money., The sports entertainment complex generates 73 billion dollars per year for owners, players, investors, and advertisers.
