  1. i don't know how the refs in football (soccer) can miss the obvious dives and illegal ball contacts. like, they're looking RIGHT AT IT for Betty White's sake. it makes me think that they're being paid to look the other way or involved in match fixing.

    goes to show that referees have a lot of power in sports. you don't see or hear of them being disciplined/penalized or called out for poor officiating by the league they officiate. players, coaches, management and owners can't even allude to poor officiating in interviews or else they'll be fined for hurting their feelings.

  2. No…not informing refs that they got a call wrong is not considered cheating by ANYONE who has ever played a sport. Why not make this pathetic dumbass list a top 5000 list and include every time an NBA player knew they got a shooter on the arm and weren't called for a foul, and didn't tell the ref?

  3. Should also point out that on the Sal Alosi play, the Dolphin player was cheating. If you are pushed out of bounds, you must come back inbounds IMMEDIATELY. Not run unimpeded down the sidelines outside the field of play where no player can touch you.

  4. I’m still mad about the Astros scandal. So are a lot of people and it’s because no one got punished. And there will never be a sadder outcome from cheating than the Resto scandal. He and his trainer ruined his career and many believe that his victims death was a suicide because of the depression cause by his career ending. They are the lowest of the low and should’ve done more prison time.

  5. Another dumb list by mojo really Mikko Rantanen lmao look up what cheating is please … and a soccer goalie who didn't say anything about ball that crossed the line as he pulled it back into play literally every goalie in every sport lmao 🤣🤣Henry for one hand ball which also happens all the time lol has gone uncalled soo many times until the introduction of replay lol

  6. Bobby Unser DID NOT WIN the 1981 Indy 500; Mario Andretti did. Unser got the award by his usual crying & bitching & lawsuits. Bobby Unser was the worst of the Unser clan, IMHO. He was a dirty driver and the modern equivalent of a Karen when things didn't go his way. He never took responsibility when he did wrong. NEVER! Fuck him.

  7. "When people debate the greatest baseball player, George Brett's name is always mentioned"… uh, no. No it isn't.

    Great player but he is never mentioned in the same breath as people like Willie Mays and Babe Ruth.

  8. Jon Jones cheated in almost every single fight he had. Eye pokes and nut shots are very common cheating choices by him.

  9. If we're talking about biting, I'm sure Tyson's already been mentioned, but how about Luis Suarez…who bit players on three different occasions.

    And then he used his hands to save a ball in the dying minutes of a World Cup match…which was effective as the opponent missed the ensuing penalty kick.

  10. I hate WatchMojo sports lists because they are idiotically biased. They always put SOCCER stuff so high, like sit your ass down only YOU care about “the hand of god incident” fools. Fans of real sports do not care.

  11. "there's nothing worse than a cheater that's cheated more than once" How about a cheater that permanently injures the one they cheated against ruining their potential career like you mention about 5 minutes later with the boxer lacking padding. Or the guy who pulled the break that could've gone much worse etc.

  12. You could fill this list with only the French over the last several hundred years 😂
    Also, screw Tom Brady.
