It\u2019s one of the last refuges of truth &amp; credibility (mostly, except for rasslin\u2019 &amp; dope-up sports like cycling &amp; outright flim-flam buncombe scams like U.S. Presidential golf). The ball don\u2019t lie, and neither does the scoreboard. Boasts, bullying &amp; braggadocio will always get beaten by the only thing that matters: the numerical result when the whistle blows, or when the final point or strike has been contested. Pop-culture, sci-fi, politics, even resto-reviewing all fall victim to the pernicious, invasive pervasiveness of influencers &amp; loudmouths; propaganda for them, BUT NOT FOR SPORTSBALL. If you are against SPORTSBALL, the real kind, the true competition in the athletic arena, then you are the one who prefers rigged pursuits. Stay inside-the-lines, ya jabroni!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Three on the tree for the remainder of your Thursday night now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
