The real story to me...put my tinfoil hat on...
Financially compensating people to deliberately lose games is a violation of NFL personal conduct policy which states...
"Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the NFL."
It is possibly even a felony violation of the 1964 Sports Bribery Act. If you had heard a member of organized crime had paid a coach to lose games...and that coach "successfully" lost 31 of 32 contests, that coach would make Tim Donaghy look like a boy scout. The revelation that financial compensation to coaches to deliberately lose games in America's most popular sport is commonplace would be by far the biggest match fixing/game rigging scandal in American sports history if true. But when it is Hue Jackson doing it because the team is paying him, that's not a match fixing scandal? That's not a rigging scandal? Because Hue Jackson said the practice is commonplace in the NFL and he accepted money to deliberately lose games for 2 seasons. How common is this in American professional sports? This is bribing people to throw games, period. Why isn't the NFL talking about bribery and game rigging/match fixing and game integrity changes, why is it only on race and gender?
