Hand of God is a great one because English people are still salty about it.

I love sport centered documentaries (e.g., 30 for 30, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Buzzfeed Unsolved Sports Conspiracies, etc.) so I shall be devouring this after work.

"Favorite" sport scandals involve the PR mask being ripped from Tiger Woods' face in 2009 and the Mike Tyson ear biting of Evander Holyfield.

And the tragic Bradford City stadium fire which involved a ton of trash and one discarded cigarette from an audience member.

I wouldn't call what happened to Tiger Woods a "sport" scandal. His personal life getting exposed was not due to corruption in his sport or game fixing etc.
