Fake Crowds

The NFL is full of strange happenings. Why would the Atlanta Falcons use an audio file to pump crowd noise into their stadium? They found out the hard way when team president Richard McKay was removed from the league's Competition Committee and the team was fined $350,000. They will also lose a 5th round draft pick in 2016.

The team admitted to doing this in 2013 and 2014. It doesn't make any sense. Home teams often push the limits of their stadium music before the ball is snapped.

The games are exciting enough. They don't need any fake noise.
