So the NFL is in on it, the referees are in on it, but no one else? The owners don't know about this?

I’m not even saying it happens every week, just certain games when they see fit. I don’t claim to know if the owners discuss it or who is involved. I don’t believe anyone comes out and says “we’re rigging this game” or anything like that.
If they want a certain result, they’ll just instruct the refs to call heavy penalties on one side. The refs are just part time employees doing what they’re told. Again, no big conspiracy. Just really human nature at play and a giant corporation doing what they see fit to maximize profit and popularity.
