There is a time and place for everything.
All sports must be kept clean and only sports nothing else. People who tune into sports want to watch sports and nothing other then sports.
Any Participants or Spectators have any other issues other then the sports they are watching or participating in should have their issues outside the sports arena, staduim, grounds .. PREMISES and if they do not obey this rule then the MUST BE BANNED ...BANNED...BANNED.
Fixing in some sports events is and has been happening and this must be stopped and all those involved must be banned from the sport including a very heavy fine

All bannings in sports are not or should not be understood as moral rules of some sort. It is nothing like banning plastic bags or polutants. On the other hand it is purely based on popularity. The whole purpose of sports is to gather a large crowd and then use the opportunity to 'sell' something to them. If you think sports have more value than that, then you are in for a steep learning curve! What is the use if wathing people chase a bag of air and try to push it into a net, or through a rim? Is putting a ball into a rim that important?? Of course not!! Then who realy cares so much who can put a bag of air into a rim except a banch of morons? Ergo fixing a match is not that immoral, it may only be unpopular in some circles. We know that wrestling matches were fixed only to evolve into an entertainment of its own kind.
Again all what matters is a large crowd, nothing else! Fixing matches is an issue only if it thus affect attendance. In such, they will be banned. In otherwords what determines whether an activity related to sporting is banned or not is popularity and never morals. Cheating in a sport should not be taken as seriously as cheating in a court because the former is just an entertainment. Remember Diego Maradona scoring with an hand? That is what sports are! They are just stupid games, nothing more! If it were, we would go to court and demand a replay of the match even after the game had ended.
This cannot happen because sports must or at least can be sponsored. Any person has a right to sponsor a sporting activity and then use it to bring his 'other issues other than the sport itself' to the stadium. The best example are the picturesques we see surrounding stadiums advertising all manner of stuffs. One wonders what does beer got to do with a football match. But if we say we want to watch a 'pure sport' then we sweep away the adverts alongside 'the other things other than the sport'. But then we undercut the very means through which the sport is enabled in the first place!!! It is people who have other issues to communicate to the crowds that pay the players hence enables the sports!
But isn't this good? Yes it is! A total liberty in a stadium is, to me, the cooler option.☺ And then if you can see that sports must be an 100% free market business, then you will understand that such stipulations are impossible. Nowhere else should the money in sports come except from people who want to sell something using the opportunity of a huge gathering, be it a givernment, a company or even a single person. Do you want to bring an issue to a stadium? Then pay the players, nothing more is required!
