Obvious, the NFL isn't ever going to lend credence to any idea that the game is rigged. They have no reason to.

I feel like I should probably clarify this: the conspiracy I keep referencing is the conspiracy within the media and the "influencers" who are intentionally feeding this other conspiracy frenzy by cherry picking calls and by ignoring the statistical evidence for hits and ratings.
As far as any League conspiracy goes, I can buy the idea that they are content with the buzz and attention the clearly bad across the board officiating creates as the calculation would be that it ultimately drives up viewership - to a point obviously. At this juncture, that is the only League conspiracy theory that passes the logic test for me.
