It reminds me of Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." In most instances it's not malicious actors or evidence of "the fix" being in or anything like that - it's just that people make dumb decisions (and often double-down on them). I have to think if the league or referees or whoever were seriously interested in fixing games they wouldn't leave it to such a pivotal (and arguably OBVIOUS) play at a crucial moment like that. Not that I have any evidence in the match-fixing world but I have to think that it's probably more effectively done "death by a thousand cuts" if you will - rather than blowing one or two big obvious calls it's a slight preference/prejudice in the little calls breaking for or against a given team over the course of a game, you know?</blockquote>
