It isn’t moral high horse. There is a lot of forgiveness for scumbags, criminals and even cheaters. But betting on your team is a mortal sin and it should be. |

I agree there are lots of players in baseball who are blackballed for the wrong reason. Curt schilling is an obvious one. But gambling on your own team is a whole different animal.

Y’all think Ohtani has the stereotypical large athlete cock or the stereotypical Asian tiny cock?

I think there’s generally a lot more forgiveness for cheating to gain competitive advantage than there is trying to groove games.
And in games Pete rose didn’t bet he wasn’t trying to win those games. |

His last 1,500 hits came when he was an average, at best, big league hitter. And for his last 1,000 of those he was fairly well worthless. And since he couldn't play defense and he played in the National League, they had to plug him in at 1b where dragging along a weak hitter is doubly damaging. "Hey Mike Schmidt - we know you guys missed the playoffs by 2 games in '82 and the Cardinals ended up winning in your place while Pete Rose gave you absolutely ****-all at 1b - but hey, he hit 150 singles that year, man!" Pete Rose wasn't the greatest anything of his day, certainly not of all time. He might be - might be - one of the 25 best hitters of all time. But he wasn't even the best hitter on his own team during his day. That was Mike Schmidt. He's not the greatest switch hitter of all time - that's Mickey Mantle and/or Chipper Jones. He's not the greatest contact hitter of all time - that's Tony Gwynn. He's just a guy that put up numbers because he refused to quit and his team refused to fire him. |

Plenty Asian baseball players use interpreters. There’s nothing suspicious about it.
