How can we just ignore the lengths that an entire baseball team went to to cheat? This wasn’t keeping a watchful eye on the catcher and hoping for a tell from the pitcher. This was cameras and willing participants throughout the team and coaching staff.
RUFKM?
I’m not going to just shrug it off. I will never see those players the same way again. Ever.
I realize the Players Union has given the players a pass, but that isn’t the same thing as the players owning their mistakes or rather, bad choices. That isn’t the same as the players apologizing for defrauding baseball and fans of baseball, which they still haven’t done.
They get to enjoy their rings, their bonuses and their title – while the rest of the league gets to wonder what their seasons would have been like if everyone had played fairly.
Shame on those grown men. Shame on them for cheating, like bad little boys.
Shame.
