Sports Bribery Act, Legal Internal Game Manipulation

Brian Tuohy clarifies that while the Sports Bribery Act of 1964 prohibits outside parties from bribing players, there is no law preventing a league from internally fixing its own games. He compares the NFL to a private entertainment product like a movie or a restaurant, where "improving" the product through manipulation is perfectly legal. This distinction allows leagues to direct referees to influence outcomes for better ratings.
