Oh no baseball is doing the unthinkable, they're going after player who used performance enhancing drugs.
They're doing it for the best interest of the game. The fans want it, or so the commissioner believes.
I kinda thought that professional sports are star and winning driven.
The bigger the star the more money the star makes. What does that mean in economic terms?
The greater the reward, the greater the incentive to cheat.
Bankers did it, and we got the public get punished, athletes do it and they get punished.
Heck even now I understand that Goldman Sachs is cheating by manipulating the price of aluminum.
I believe that those fellows who call themselves economist call this risk reward.
To many of us humans this cheating risk reward is in our DNA. How many of my peers cheated to get a better grade?
Armature sports has just as much cheating as professional sports, I guess it must be the need to win.
Is the need to win in the human DNA. How else can one explain a person who has more money then he or she needs, demands and get more money just because the guy or girl down the block doing the same job gets more money, that person believes that they should make more justifiable or not.
* Baseball is risking loosing fans, especially those who are in towns that have no chance of making the playoffs, they come out to see the stars.
**Baseball has had cheating since the first paid ball player. Players spiking other players, throwing illegal pitches (hall of fame pitcher Gaylord Perry caught with a emery board to scuff up the ball comes to mind).
*** When one is caught cheating blame some one else, and or ignorance. ( I thought it was acne cream said the star athlete) ( The government wanted me to give the non credit worth loans said the banker).
