What if someone Hacked the playbook of one of the Superbowl teams?

And all of the insider gossip of preparing for the game, and released it through wiki-leaks. Maybe even some non-public discussion on some infraction by the players or coaches being handled internally was made public. And all of this could be tracked back to some say Russian Gambling oligarchs. Somehow I think the sports betting would be affected.

Would fans then "get it". Hey they did not "influence" the field, or officiating, or the players on the field themselves. But it would seem to me to be a bigger deal than a pound or two of ball inflation.

I have not seen any real data that the voting machines or tabulators were hacked. But the election itself, how people thought of the two candidates and their parties WAS affected. With all of the other issues, the election was close enough that this was a factor in the election outcome. Not the only factor, but not a minor one either.

I hope one day that who we elect for president will be more important that the Superbowl game. May the odds be ever in your favor!
