Some sports are partnering with the politicians so they can have a good access with regards to public documents and there’s a high possibility that a sports club are being organized by many politicians as well especially if the team owner have a great connection in the government. Corruption is everywhere and only players and fans are suffering with this one, I also believe on fixed game most of the time, its all about money.
Many politicians are directly involved with sports clubs with the aim of increasing the prestige and support of votes for them from the fans...
the politicians make a lot of drama, they pretend to be heroes to the club and attract the sympathy of the fans, when their influence is strong they can immediately control the club.
