Richard Syrett on Corruption and Conspiracies in Professional Sports

Coming up on April 18th on The Conspiracy Show (AM740.ca - 11PM), Richard welcomes the author of The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NASCAR.

Author Brian Tuohy believes that the hugely profitable sports leagues have covered up the truth behind their operations, that professional sports are not all about fair play and sometimes engage in corrupt interactions with mass media and other players in the sports machine.

Tuohy backs these charges with an explicitly-cited history of backroom dealings in football, baseball, basketball, hockey and car racing.

The Fix Is In provides the shadow history of the sports world, and the way it interacts with media and gambling operations.

With The Fix Is In, Brian Tuohy makes a compelling, fact-based argument that not everything in the sports world is as it seems that behind the visceral thrills and feel-good hype lies a potentially dark underworld of profit motives, conflicting interests and possibly rigged competitions, in which nothing occurs by happy accident.
