Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers Holding Penalties

Statistical anomalies in officiating are used to suggest league manipulation, such as a season where the Green Bay Packers went 11 games without a single offensive holding call. This lack of penalties provided star quarterback Aaron Rodgers with extra protection, aiding the league's goal of promoting its top stars. A 1960s study by the Rand Corporation also found that the MLB World Series reached a seventh game significantly more often than statistical probability would suggest, implying financial motivation for longer series.
