First of A-Rod should be considered presumed incident until he’s given his just hearing in the appeals court. Yet if he is found guilty it’s another example of a Yankees Culture that has destroyed the game. A culture that cares more about the short term interest of it’s franchise verse the long term interest of the sport.
All fans want a winning team but they don’t want to watch robots battle humans. The point is simple what makes sports fun is it is a game with specific rules that everyone competes in. When a team has a culture of winning at all costs (billions) it creates a culture where cheating is acceptable as long as your not caught. It destroys a sport for areas that can spend these monies like Cleveland and for families that can’t afford to take their families out to games. That is why in the end I have continued to be a proud Met fan.
