Professional sports have been around forever. But sports can not always be fair to everyone. Today im going to be sharing my opinion and talking about my 2 favourite scandals in pro sports.
. A canadien attorny named Alan Eagleson was one of the most loyal NHL agents of his century and was elected to be the director of the NHLPA ( National Hockey League Players Association). The FBI soon charged him with 34 different counts of fraud using the players profit for his own personal belongings. He was soon taken off the wall of best agents at the hockey hall of fame in Toronto, Ontario. My opinion on this is why? Using other athletes sucess for your own family even though you're being honoured by the National hockey league, one of the best organizations out there?
And we have the best for last. The sport that brings the world together, Soccer. In 2015, 7 officials of FIFA ( International federation of football) were arrested at the Hotel Burr preparing the attend the 65th FIFA congress what was scheduled to elect the new president of fifa because they have accepted 150 millions of dollars in bribes in US dollars what averages about 210 million dollars in CA. This had an impact on the world of sports especially FIFA fans because how are we supposed to believe what we watch now that the organization is in fact corrupt? It makes you wonder how Qatar got the 2022 Fifa World Cup instead of bigger and better countries! After the President stepping down from his seating in FIFA, the organization needs to find a way to fix all the damage that has been done. This may not be the only sport that is corrupt but being known as the Worlds sport why them?

Corruption was bound to happen in pro sports in my opinion with how much money is involved. There are sadly many greedy people in this world who crave power and cash at every turn. Hopefully moving forward we can eliminate the corrupt officials and replace them with good people who actually care about the organisation and its athletes.
