Gobert said what nobody wanted to admit considering big faces are running gambling ads on their platforms. I hope this shyt bleeds into the fight game getting exposed for rigging these "boxing" matches
Yup
Facts if anything MLB should be monitoring the umps and other sports leagues monitoring their officiating because they have more of an incentive to manipulate game outcomes if they are better or using cut outs to place bets..

The NBa has a major problem with it now, you can literally see which refs are officials of what games and can automatically tell who’s going to win or the spread would be covering or not… Notice you haven’t seen Scott Foster ref’ing any Golden State games after that fiasco with him and Chris Paul… Suns shot 52FTA that game… literally the most by any team this season..

Or the ref that got exposed for being a Celtics fan after he missed that blatant foul Tatum committed on Bron then gave Pat Bev a tech after Pat tried to show him the replay on camera lmaoo

Ref literally had to retired because they showed all the games the Celtics played where he was the ref and Celtics won 85 to 90% of those games wether it was home or on the road..
Bro these sports leagues tying themselves to legal sports betting apps would have been unthinkable ten years ago especially MLB.

I believe most Japanese people are taught English in school there. I don't know about fluent/perfectly, but I doubt it's something he tried to pick up in his 20's or anything.

a lot of them just don't like to speak it publicly because they don't like how they sound with the accent/trust how good their english is too.

I think you would still want to have a translator to some extent if you're playing baseball at his level just to make sure things don't get fukked up with your wording in the media, but it's nothing like if you were to drop me off in china or russia and i know like 1 word and would need someone to translate every single thing for me.

The NBA rigged the 2002 Western Conference Finals. People are acting like it just started happening. They were not going to let the Lakers lose to the Kings. This was right as they were still figuring out how the NBA will look in a post-Jordan world. He was old and the Wizards were terrible. They needed the Lakers in the Finals.

If someone can understand Americanized English down to how Americans utilize humor, they don't need a translator. That's for damn sure.

That's the thing. He knows it well enough to communicate with teammates and speak in casual situations, but just feels uncomfortable holding a press conference or something formal in English. Ichiro was the same way

Yeah, it turns out this guy is a total liar and scammed his way into the job where he met Ohtani when Ohtani was just a teenager.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's been more in control of this situation than people think. I doubt Ohtani was purposely looking for a con artist to align with when he was just 19 and starting out in baseball.
