> Our JIRA board is being gamed for management. Our sprint burndown chart always looked terrible because management changed things around mid-sprint by adding issues or swapping them around.

This makes me so sad.
The jagged burndown chart should be the perfect tool to explain management that you didn't finish the sprint BECAUSE MANAGEMENT CHANGED OR ADDED THINGS, and so visualize the cost of such actions.
