I can't believe this is true, but a friend of mine told me that in Mexico, some of the futbol (soccer) games are fixed by their equivalent of the mafia (which sounds highly suspect already given how important the games are) so they have been known to shoot the ball on field from the stands to prevent scoring. I called immediate bullshit, and I CANNOT find anything online that even closely approximates this, but he swears it's the total anc complete truth.
Has anyone seriously heard of this happening, other than in pulp novels and 1970's Sunday Afternoon movies on channel 57?
