Breaking: Former Titans QB Hopeful Opens Up About Mafia Fixing Football Games
A former quarterback tryout for the Tennessee Titans recently discussed football games being rigged at the college level. Former Vanderbilt quarterback Mo Hasan spilled the beans on one highly successful SEC team, in particular, benefiting from the Italian Mafia.
There has been a lot of speculation on rigged games recently
Complaints by NFL and college fans about games being “rigged” have become more commonplace in the new legal sports betting era. There was a viral conspiracy around the Super Bowl of NFL fans believing the league and the US government propped up the Kansas City Chiefs to win the championship so Taylor Swift could endorse Joe Biden for the 2024 election. Nearly 20 percent of Americans believed in the conspiracies.
Mo Hasan said the Italian mob approached him
Hasan had a different story to tell than one connected to the US government. In a video posted on the Momentum Podcast, Hasan said the Italian Mafia offered him $300,000 to rig a game.
“I was approached at Jason Aldean’s bar in Nashville by the Italian mob to fix football games,” Hasan said.”I went to get drinks, and so I’m alone right now and not with my friend group. [The mobster] comes up to me and he offered me $300,000. He said, ‘For something like this, my clients: 250 to 300k for a game.
The former Tennessee Titans hopeful’s claims should be investigated
Hasan’s story sounds pretty crazy. But with the increased profits to be realized from sports betting, it’s entirely possible. The NFL and NCAA should investigate whether Hasan’s claims about those players are true or if the practice of the mob rigging games is prevalent outside the SEC.
With owners allowed to own a five-percent stake in sports books, the league has a duty to ensure the mob isn’t influencing the outcome of games.
Hasan played for USC, Syracuse, and Vanderbilt at the college level. His story about the mob is fixated on the SEC specifically. According to the Titans website, Hasan was invited to the Titans’ rookie minicamp last year after the draft to try out for the team.
