Are any of the professional sports scripted? Are they at least partially scripted? It seems like sometimes maybe they are keeping the score close until the end so that fans will stick around. Maybe it's partially scripted if not fully scripted. Maybe the league directors tell the players to allow certain things to happen. For example, they might see that one team is winning so they tell them "OK guys, you're up by 30 points. We're pretty sure you're going to win. So we're going to follow this script here. The other team is in on it too. The other team is going to score a bunch of points and make a dramatic comeback. You guys will still win the game, we're just trying to make it a little more exciting for the fans."
I think stuff like this goes on in all sports. Sometimes they'll be profiling a player and that player has some sad story to tell and then he just happens to have a big game. Tell me if you think sports are scripted or if you have any examples of when you think they were.
