This experience has been crazy so far. First, I am asked to go to the Army vs. Navy football game to be a reporter on the sidelines, then I get to meet up with a good friend, Susan Carol, who is also doing a report on the game. And it turned out that the President, Barack Obama was attending the game? That is insane! This game was supposed to be an intense, grit and grind battle between two rivals that hated each other come game day, but that wasn’t the case today. The two teams were unable to actually play the game, and that was because of the referees. Every time either team came close to scoring, there was always a penalty called against the team that was about to score! Even though something was clearly up, no one thought anything of it since there were bad calls going both ways. But then I remembered what Susan Carol had said about her dad and betting on the over/under for games. The refs are clearly making it so that no one could score, and I suspect that they are throwing the game on purpose in order to win a bet or to win others a bet. Either way, I think that the refs are fixing the game, and Susan Carol and I must get to the bottom of this to ensure that this game can be finished fairly and that the teams can play the smash-mouth football that everyone was looking forward to!
